Following up on Fixer's post:
HuffPo, links and videos:
President Obama traveled to a House Republican retreat in Baltimore on Friday and delivered a performance that was at once defiant, substantive and engaging. For roughly an hour and a half, Obama lectured GOP leaders and, in a protracted, nationally-televised question-and-answer session, deflected their policy critiques, corrected their misstatements and scolded them for playing petty politics. (Full video and transcript available HERE.)
White House officials told the Huffington Post they were absolutely ecstatic. MSNBC's Luke Russert, who was on the scene in Baltimore, relayed that a Republican official and other GOP aides had confided to him that allowing the "cameras to roll like that" was a "mistake."
Indeed, sunshine on a turned-over rock is harmful to the vermin.
So effective was the president that Fox News cut away from the broadcast 20 minutes before it ended.
F** turned away because truth occurred and they felt they needed to shelter their audience from it! I think I just came...
Politico
Obama urged Republicans to come to the table and work with him on policy compromises, saying Americans "didn't send us to Washington to fight each other in some political steel-cage match."
Oh yeah? Sez you, Barry! As long as there's meds to counteract the visual of all that flabby old fish-belly white skin in speedos...
