Today, the PEOTUS met with a collection of journalists including Maureen Dowd, Rachel Maddow, Eugene Robinson, Frank Rich, E.J. Dionne, and Andrew Sullivan.
If someone had asked me (why doesn't anyone?), I wouldn't have been able to come up with a better list. In fact, if I could, this is the group I would invite to my birthday party.
This meeting comes on the heels of a dinner party with conservative columnists at George Will's house. This is just incredibly smart politics. The influence these columnists have on their readers can be immense, and in a time when it will be absolutely essential to maintain the public's trust, having an open, if not always agreeable, relationship with these journalists will be a huge asset.
