President Obama invited several Republican Senators out for Dinner last night. The President picked up the tab himself. He also invited Rep. Paul Ryan and Rep. Chris Van Hollen out for lunch. They are the top ranking Republican and Democrat on the House Budget Committee. These moves are widely seen as the White House shifting strategy on how it deals with Congress. During most negotiations, the President deals with the House and Senate leadership to get a deal done. Now, it appears that The White House is reaching out to the rank-n-file lawmakers, on both sides of the aisle.
CNN has a great little post about this new strategy. You can read it by clicking on the link below.
