At a time when his Washington honeymoon is turning into a hazing, President Barack Obama and his team are launched on a strategy to sail above the traditional White House press corps by reaching out to liberal commentators, local reporters and ethnic media.
The highest-profile moments in the new approach have been well-noted, such as the president giving an interview to progressive radio host Ed Schultz and Obama calling on a reporter from the liberal-leaning Huffington Post at his first news conference.
But those moves are only part of a much larger strategy aimed at communicating directly with audiences the White House believes are more sympathetic to the president’s agenda — and one in which much of the work is being done by Obama’s top advisers.
On the day Obama released his ambitious spending plan, the administration put White House budget director Peter Orszag on a conference call with liberal-leaning writers. Senior administration aides have followed up by promoting the budget to local radio talk shows during morning drive time.
Jared Bernstein, Vice President Joe Biden’s economic adviser and a favorite of the labor-liberal wing of the Democratic Party, also held a conference call with friendly reporters.
White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has done conference calls with black and Hispanic media outlets.
Obama himself plans to meet soon with liberal bloggers, according to an administration official. With little fanfare, he’s already sat for interviews with Black Enterprise magazine, Telemundo and Los Angeles-based Hispanic radio host Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo.

The man has blown his cover with the rest of our society, his numbers are in the tank, his beloved MSM is turning on him, therefore he must secure what he believes is the majority that brought him HIS POWER.
Seems to be early in the game yet, but then too he did start his push to Socialize our Society early on didn't he.
ROFLMAO!!! You nailed it! Unbelievable!
And liberal Democrats like Obama don’t care what we think of them. I wrote to Al Gore when he was VP and said that he should not go on TV and say lies about Republicans. I said he was elected to serve the entire USA and NOT just the democrats who voted for him. I got a reply. He said “Although I strongly disagree with you, I hope we can put our partisan differences behind us and work together.” etc
The Mainstream Media has been acting as the propaganda organ of the Obama Administration, and they still are not satisfied?
Nothing too unusual about it—President Bush met with conservative talk radio hosts and bloggers more than once. The difference, of course, is that not only does Zero already have 97% of the mainstream press in his pocket, his machine is far, far better at message massaging like this than the Bush White House could ever dream of being.
