From The Hill
White House warm to televised exchange with Senate GOP
By Michael O'Brien - 02/01/10 06:43 PM ET

President Barack Obama would like an opportunity for a televised exchange with Senate Republicans, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday.

Gibbs said that the administration would welcome an invitation for a televised exchange with the Senate GOP, similar to the extraordinary question-and-answer sessions with members of the House Republican Conference at their retreat last week.

"I believe we have been invited to speak to the Senate Republicans, and we will do so," Gibbs said during his daily press briefing.

The televised session won plaudits from members of the media and other political observers for its openness.

"I think the President enjoyed the give and take on these issues of importance. You guys seemed to think it was a worthwhile endeavor," Gibbs told reporters. "And I think opportunities like this for both sides are important to talk through our ideas.":

Gibbs said the White House "wouldn't have any problem" with an exchange with Senate Republicans being open to TV cameras, too.

There was a huge scandal associated with that, did you miss it? - the Iron Chefs picked produce out of the White House garden, but they didn't do the food prep until 2 weeks later. What they used in the show was NOT White House produce.

Some are calling for Obama's impeachment over this terrible public misleading.

In related news, Senate Dems up for President's Questions tomorrow morning (not that this will be as fun as the GOP sputtering in public):

Less than a week after his electrifying parley with House Republicans, President Obama will be doing another televised question-and-answer session tomorrow morning -- this one with the Senate Democratic Caucus.

.. 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.

White House advisers were thrilled with Obama's defiant, substantive and engaging dialogue at a House Republican retreat last Friday; tough and sometimes misleading questions seemed to bring the best out in him.

... camera crews will record Obama's remarks tomorrow -- and will be allowed to continue rolling once the questions start coming.

Despite the growing amount of frustration with Obama from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, the questions at the Newseum are unlikely to be anywhere near as confrontational as those from the Republicans, ...

What does this have to do with the subject at hand? LOL. You post an opinion piece by a bush/cheney right wing croney (sp?).

I wonder if Fouad has just a little bit of an agenda.

Different point of view?
Funny how you choose to knock the source when it doesnt agree with your team. At least I posted a link as opposed to Probama groupie Riot who has resorted to posting quotes without a link.

Different point of view? The WSJ has fallen far under Fox News' owners tutelage. It's just fill-in hack piece, not any more well-written than the abundance of point of view on here that doesn't like the President Obama sucks, he's a Muslim (or Muslin, not sure), Socialist Communist Maoist Stalinist Non-American yeah, yawn ....

Yup. I voted for Obama. Every day I am more glad I did. McCain-Palin would have set this country back a century. I shrudder to think of McCain in the WH for this past year. Even he has always admitted he's clueless about economics and finance.

Let me go find some pro-Obama opinion piece from DailyKos to post for Chuck ... <g>

You say that you are retired military. I do not recall a military man ever showing such disrepect to his commander and chief even during the Bush reign. Reading your views on this and Hati begs one to ask if a white sheet and hood is part of your weekend wear?

I had no problems with previous Presidents. How can you respect this jackass that is trying to give the military only a %1.4 pay raise. Yet he gives all this money to Haiti that could be used to give the military a better pay that they deserve. I wont go into the fact that the retirees and Social Security didnt get a Cost of Living Raise. Hasnt the price of food gone up this year? Why would this jackass care about military and retirees, he has no clue about what military life is and what a military family goes through with deployments. Im sure your one the millions of Americans that was mislead by O'Dumbass. Hope your happy with who you voted for. It is my wish that in 2012 the American public, active military, military retirees, and people on Social Security wake up and vote this ******* out of office. Hopefully if this virus is voted out the above mentioned people will be given the respect that they deserve. I know if a Republican is President the active military and retirees are taken care of like they should most of the time. A white sheet and hood isnt part of my weekend uniform, maybe its part of your weekend uniform.

Do you realize Republicans wanted (still do..heard it from a fine Texan this week) to give people paying into Social Security (for say like 35 years already) a reduction in what they will get when they retire? You're worried about cost of living increase, but not about how the new retirees would get screwed? If they're gunna do that it better be on a staggered scale (closer to retirement age, the least bothered.) They've paid into it a long time while under a certain impression.

Unemployment is at 10% officially and in reality more like 17-20% , people are losing jobs and their houses and you are crying about a small PAY RAISE. Dude you live in a bubble.
