House GOP warily holds out hand to Obama's "Charm Offensive"

[EmperorScorpious]

[quote]Washington (CNN) -- When President Barack Obama enters the conference room in the Capitol basement Wednesday to sit down with House Republicans, he'll be met by a group that says it's willing to listen but deeply skeptical of the president's so-called "charm offensive."

"There is clearly some healing to the relationship that has to happen on all sides. You don't solve that with one nice dinner and one nice meal. That's the equivalent of thinking you're going to take care of a problem relationship just by sending flowers," Michigan Republican Rep. Bill Huizenga told CNN.

Tennessee Republican Steven Fincher, elected in 2010, recalled his one other meeting with the president -- in June 2011 when all House Republicans were invited to the White House -- saying that meeting "did not go so well."

"Hopefully tomorrow he is not as combative and is more willing to listen," Fincher told CNN Tuesday.[/quote]

I don't think Obama has a trenchcoat.
He's probably got a stash of candy though.

He's no stranger to the Republicans, stealing their neo-Con defence policies and so on.
