The interchange on Friday between President Obama and the House GOP Caucus was amazing and important. From the New York Times:

The encounter at a Baltimore hotel was unlike any of Mr. Obama’s presidency, or very many other presidencies, for that matter. Such a sustained and public dialogue with a hostile audience is rare for a president. Instead, Friday’s back and forth resembled the British tradition where the prime minister submits to questions on the floor of the House of Commons — something Senator John McCain had promised to do if elected president.

And here is the full video. Well worth a viewing.

What are the political ramifications?
