Obama Tells House Democrats: Emphasize Responsible Government
By Edward Epstein and David Nather, CQ Staff


Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, told an enthusiastic House Democratic caucus Tuesday that Democrats can win in November if they remember that the American people want responsible change and propose ways to deliver it.

“Every member of Congress recognizes the historic challenges and the historic opportunities this election is,’’ Obama said, surrounded by House Democratic leaders, after the meeting in the Cannon Caucus Room. He said he told those of the 236-member House caucus who attended that the party must emphasize, “Not larger government, but responsible government, honest government and efficient government.’’

Obama’s visit to the House side of Capitol Hill capped a busy day in Washington for the prospective Democratic presidential nominee. He also met with President Bush’s Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. , and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to discuss economic issues and with visiting Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to talk about fighting the Taliban in Pakistan’s tribal regions and Afghanistan and Al Qaeda.

More than just a pep talk to a group of Democrats, who are pretty upbeat about their election prospects, Obama’s caucus appearance was an opportunity for members to ask their prospective nominee questions. He fielded about a dozen questions on a wide variety of domestic and foreign policy topics, participants said.

1. It's ironic the CQpolitics is disputing Dana Milbank

Cqpolitics(particulary Craig Crawford)has a pattern of being critical of Obama and Dana Milbank has been critical of conservatives.

I wonder what Olbermann's reaction to this will be considering Milbank is a frequent guest on his show.
