Here's mine, from Smartypants@http://immasmartypants.blogspot.com/2013/03/president-obama-works-on-developing.html

There have been many times over the last few years that President Obama's strategy for getting things done has been broadcast out in the open and many people still fail to see it. We're seeing that once again with his efforts to develop a "common sense caucus."

.SNIP:

Senate aides familiar with the talks say Mr. Obama is telling senators that he wants to convene bipartisan discussions at the White House, a departure from the more typical meetings between him and party leaders.

“The president is engaging with lawmakers of both parties and will continue to do so,” said the White House press secretary, Jay Carney. Repeating a phrase the president first used recently, Mr. Carney said the outreach was the president’s way of “finding the members of the caucus of common sense and working with them to bring about a resolution to this challenge.”

SNIP:

So while most of the media is paying attention to what the Republican leadership says and/or the inane utterances of the lunatic caucus, President Obama is working on an end-around those folks. Keep your eye on this prize folks

I don't think that the sky has fallen.
