Misleading WaPo Headline Makes It Seem as If Obama Reaching Out to Republicans

Wow! Finally, after nearly six years in office it appears that President Obama might be learning something that almost all other presidents knew instinctively: it is important to reach out to the opposition party.

The headline of the story gives a very hopeful sign that this is happening as Obama explains his executive order for illegals to members of Congress: "Obama to dine with top lawmakers tonight." So if Obama is dining with top lawmakers that must mean he is reaching out to House Speaker John Boehner and perhaps having a bourbon with incoming Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell. Right? Well, that is what you are led to believe by both the headline and the first paragraph of the article. Unfortunately, the hope for an newly inclusive Obama falls apart right after that but let us keep hope alive in this first paragraph before the inner Obama emerges right afterwards:

Emperor Barack does NOT suffer other political viewpoints at his dinner table.

Twisted headline by propagandists. Not an accident.

The Ministry of Propaganda (Washington Post) never stops propagandizing.

[Travis McGee]

The WaPo is part of American Pravda, what do you expect?

That’s why this yellow rag is referred to as “The Washington Compost” or “The Washington Pest”. They wouldn’t know “journalism” if it bit them on the a**.
