Obama meets Fox News

Why did he go to the heart of the beast?

What kind of guy would be so brave or so foolish? Surely, his advisers would say: Too dangerous! Too hostile!

But Barack Obama wants to reach out – to everyone.

He is the President - of the whole country, not just the Democrats.

He is a guy who thinks the opponents' views must be taken as seriously as those of people who agree. Or even more seriously?

A guy who thinks consensus is not a means but an end.

A guy I admire every day.
