Obama's Outreach "A Joke"? 

Last week I said I was skeptical of President Obama's sudden outreach to congressional conservatives. But you don't have to take my word for it. In the past 24 hours, there have been several media reports indicating that Obama's outreach efforts are less than sincere.

Ron Fournier, a veteran political reporter, was told by a senior White House official, "This is a joke. We're wasting the president's time and ours. I hope you all (in the media) are happy because we're doing it for you."

"Stoke And Scare" 

Last week the media were gushing about the president's dinner with his former Republican colleagues from the Senate. Mr. Obama was praised for once again reaching out to his critics, while our media elites waited with bated breath wondering if the recalcitrant conservatives would dare reject him one more time. 

Obama Shifts Strategy? 

President Obama invited a dozen Republican senators to dinner last night. Rather than hosting them at the White House, where the president clearly has the upper hand, they met in neutral territory -- at the Jefferson Hotel. And Obama personally picked up the tab. 

Liberal Insanity 

I am becoming increasingly convinced that the worldview of many on the left is simply insane. There is no other word to describe it. I was reminded of this in the last couple of days by some recent events that have taken place in our schools. These incidents speak volumes about the bizarre set of values that direct leftist thinking. But I am most concerned about the effect it has on normal little American boys and girls.
