Good For Them!

Obama’s meeting with the Republican Caucus today was a step in the right direction.

They invited him. He accepted. It gave them a chance to ask tough questions and him a chance to respond in a straightforward, effective way. He was well informed, pushed back when appropriate, and reinforced the notion that we expect our elected leaders to solve problems, not engage in an endless pissing contest.

It would be a welcome breakthrough if this opening actually leads to something positive.

The entire session is available on the MSNBC website. It’s worth watching.
