I can’t help but think this is good for Democracy.
Via Bob Cesca:
Tomorrow morning, the president will be doing a televised Q&A with the Senate Democratic caucus.
Staffers from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s office and White House aides tell the Huffington Post that the president will meet with the caucus at the Newseum, where the senators will be assembled for an issues conference to discuss policy, strategy and message for the coming year. The meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m.And get ready for Obama vs. Inhofe:
“I believe we have been invited to speak to the Senate Republicans, and we will do so,” Gibbs told reporters on Monday.
I know I’ll be tuning in – not for a smackdown, but rather for a substantive policy discussion. And call me an Obot, or whatever you will, but it’s really a shame that all the heavy lifting falls on the President. You’d think that people who claim to be an equal branch of government could manage to carry the load, you know, equally.
UPDATE: C-SPAN 2 will be covering the event, which begins at 10:00 a.m.. If you will be watching the Q&A please use join me – in the thread below – in reporting what is taking place.
