Obama Invites Republicans to Dinner

Here's a fact: Republicans' fear of a changing nation will have them lashing out at Obama as long as he's POTUS. It's too bad they can't put their emotions for Obama aside and work on behalf of Americans. They've proven they won't. They can't. The party will need to evolve first. That could take some time.

Mr. Obama has invited about a dozen Republican senators out to dinner on Wednesday night, after speaking with several of them by phone in recent days, according to people familiar with the invitation. And next week, according to those people and others who did not want to be identified, he will make a rare foray to Capitol Hill to meet separately with the Republican and Democratic caucuses in both the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-controlled House.
