Rachel, Eugene Robinson and Gerry Seib just left the West Wing....

[Clio the Leo]

... were they meeting with Gibbs? The President perhaps?

Will post more on this as I find it. Rachel's show tonight should be interesting....

1. Those are my two favorite news people

Eugene and Rachel...

I'm dying to know what's up.

[polichick]

7. My favs too - I've subscribed to Eugene's blog for my Kindle...

...so glad Amazon offered it!

[Cha]

2. Interesting.

To say the least. Will monitor your posts.:)

[babylonsister]

3. Maybe Rachel was actually offered the job.

:spray:

[Enrique]

6. we saw you on TV last night and liked what we saw...

:rofl:

[Clio the Leo]

8. I bet the President wanted to tell Rachel how much he ADORED her....

:P

[DrToast]

13. Rachel knows it's much easier to be pretend President than the actual President

[polichick]

4. Hmm, maybe someone at the WH heard Rachel say "Pick me, pick me"...

...on her show the other night, in response to the prez saying he's taking ideas.

5. Wow! Don't know who Seib is. Great that Gene and Rachel got

(I hope) a chance to meet with Obama or at least Gibbs.

Nothing like giving folks an inside track to offset the naysaying. I know it could be looked upon as "leaning" on these two journalists, but I trust they'll keep their heads. They are certainly two powerful voices in the media...

9. Bureau Chief of the Wall St. Journal....

11. very, very interesting.....

in light of her "redo" of his Oval Office speech...

wonder what's up?

[jwirr]

12. Eugene and Rachel both did some clear criticism of his speech in

the last 2 days. Maybe he dressed them down? As for Rachel her coverage of the spill from the Gulf was precious and maybe he wanted to talk about that.

[CTyankee]

14. I don't know but I kinda think that he wouldn't "dress them down."

My guess is that he talked earnestly to them. They are all smart people and there's a way of communicating with smart people and get your point across to them. Obama must know how important they are to him.

Now, as for Seib, hmm, WSJ...

[polichick]

17. I hope he listens to Rachel re what she's learned about the ecology of the area...

...and what clean-up workers still need.

[suzie]

24. Because the people along the Gulf Coast who spoke with him when he traveled there

are not capable of articulating that?

[impik]

15. Rachel will address the nation this evening

[polichick]

16. That's right - Fake President Obama is giving updates every day. nt

23. I must have missed the election where Rachel was elected to anything. n/t

[stray cat]

18. They were walking by and had to use a restroom

[Hell Hath No Fury]

19. I hope they were brutally honest with O --

if asked. He lives in the ultimate bubble right bow, and needs voices from outside it to remain in touch. And, I hope they remain as independent as before in their opinions after such White Hosue treatment.

As Keith sometimes calls her.

I find it awe inspiring that Barack would seek Rachel's counsel, if that is what is going on here.

I think locking Rachel and Barack into the same room for a day or two would solve most of the problems us arch liberals have with some of the things Barack has done since taking office!

I am keeping my eye on this one and taping Rachel even more than usual tonight!

Rachel made no mention of this visit on Thursday Night's TRMS, did she?

22. Was this a secret, off-the-record meeting? Why no mention of

what was discussed by any of the attendees? Maybe Rachel will cover it tonight. I won't be watching, but maybe someone will let us know if anything is said.
