USA Today is reporting that the 8th Congressional District’s Melissa Bean will meet with President Barack Obama this afternoon:
“…at 2:30 p.m., the leaders of the New Democrat Coalition come to the Oval Office. Those members include Jason Altmire, Pa.; Melissa Bean, Illinois; Lois Capps, Cal.; Joseph Crowley, N.Y.; Ron Kind, Wis.; Allyson Schwartz, Pa.; and Adam Smith, Washington.”
It’s that touchy feely thing that chief executives do when they want to override the better judgment of legislators.
