“Obama meets with Krauthammer, Gigot”
Protein Wisdom ^ | 10/9/13 | Jeff G

Politico:

President Obama held an off-the-record meeting with five conservative journalists on Tuesday afternoon.

Present at the meeting were Charles Krauthammer, the Washington Post columnist and Fox News contributor; Paul Gigot, the Wall Street Journal editorial page editor; Robert Costa, the National Review’s Washington editor; syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker; and Washington Examiner columnist Byron York, according to a source with knowledge of the meeting.

Of those, at least 4 have been vocal critics of the Cruz strategy — and Obama, who follows the news and monitors his detractors and defenders just as you’d expect a paranoid narcissist would, did not pick these “conservatives” at random.
**snip**
Unfortunately for the “pragmatists” and poll humpers, the grassroots is going to continue to apply pressure and make their voices heard.

To repeat for the umpteenth time: the GOP is asking for two things, both of which should be easy to sell to the American people if they would simply put up a united front (something Obama is betting they won’t do, and trying to win over GOP mouthpieces is one way to prevent that):
**snip**
And without their base, the Dems realize Republicans have no chance at regaining power. So the appeal is to career politicians and the pundits who live off them like tape worms to protect their jobs and the status quo, rather than risk it all on the “ideology” of “extremists” who “don’t understand how the DC game is played.”

They may not have ruling power, but they’ll keep their cozy offices and their power — as well as have plenty to fund raise on. And think of all that new ObamaCare revenue that they, too, will one day get **snip**

Why, it’s that kind of vision that keep Karl Rove’s white board perpetually erect.

Yes, Kraut is a very intelligent man, and I agree with him 95% of the time. Bammie probably only met with them to warn them that they may be audited if they continue to criticize the anointed one.

Krauthammer is a surrender shill, GOP-E enabler. He was bashing Cruz before bashing Cruz became fashionable.

Kathleen Parker is no conservative. Gigot is a finger-in-the-winder. Byron York is most times willing to say what the numbers actually say, although he’s generally light on the methodology that brought about what has the numbers saying what they say.

I do like Charles, very intelligent man. I doubt if he can be bought off.

Thank you. I agree.

Charlie won't be bought off. He is a serious man...he won't fall prey to threats of Obama. Unless of course Obama threatens his family.

Always test or confirm all conclusions.

"Charlie" doesn't need to be bought off. He's been in the bag on this issue from the start.

That’s a lot of reading material. I hope you don’t mind if I read it all before responding?

Sure.

Burying you in material wasn’t my intent.

I watch CK most every day on Bret Baier’s show and he’s been a disappointment on the fight against Obamacare. Very much the beltway insider which is his one great weakness, IMO, of course.

Cruz is a showman who’s doing harm to his colleagues, according to Krauthammer. Well, if they weren’t showmen they wouldn’t be in Washington, right?

And if it weren’t for Cruz Obamacare WOULD be the law of the land now, and the whole Republican delegation would have been steamrolled. That’s my thinking anyhows.

True, we know it, and the author knows it. It’s why he said they were chosen. Bambi knows who to pick and who he can manage.

What do you think Bambi offered these conservative journolistas?

Probably a peek at their personal NSA files. "Stay in line or else!".
