Cantor should bring a camera crew in with him.
Backroom meeting should be held at all. We have a deliberative body mandated by the Constitution to work out compromises in the open for all to see, it’s called Congress.
Cantor should bring a camera crew in with him and hold a press conference right after Obama’s 10 a.m. lecture.
“Cantor should bring a camera crew in with him.”
Or at least a microphone. The Republicans should simply state that they want ALL negotiations to be in public view. They will get the upper hand politically and they will make Obama’s habit of promising something in private and then contradicting it in public much more difficult to pull off.
...and if Obama isn’t game, then we wait, and wait, and wait...
