calling for better marketing of healthy foods. i spoke with the group s vice chair. cory booker about the childhood obesity epidemic. but first, i asked him if president obama s dinner with senate republicans this week was too little too late. dinner and breaking bread is always a good thing. but i know very specifically the president has been reaching out from day one. he s had coverage that s been given to meetings he s had with people in the gop getting into real discussions back in the debate. this president s gone a long way. and he s just not going to stop. he s going to continue to find creative ways to reach across the aisle. and i m happy to see this having some success the mandate given by the american people that really supported the president s vision. it s the spirit of washington they need right now.
