House. This is picture for that meeting. And for the second straight day the dow bounced on wall street. Truly an unprecedented thick and it runs completely counter to many of the prognostications out there before. Yet another record today after Donald Trumps win. Michelle kosinski is outfront at the white house. Michelle, the moment today of this meeting so many people thought 24e8d never see barack obama and donald trump meet, never mind as president and President Elect at the white house. Maybe even not the two people at the meeting. And tonight outside the white house more protests but inside today it was all about reassurance and everybody on their best behavior. What was so fascinating about this, on the one hand you have this incredibly organized Transition Process with handshakes and good wishes on all sides. But then on the other, you have this intense bitterness from the Campaign Trail. And today the white house didnt really hold back in saying that i have great respect. The

Today and something the president himself highlighted at the Press Conference. Take a listen. I think a lot of his views are going to be shaped by his advisers, the people around him, which is why its important to Pay Attention to these confirmation hearhearings. This is a job of such magnitude you cant do it by yourself. You are enormously reliant on a team. How you put a Team Together to make sure that they are getting you the best information and they are teeing up the options from which you will ultimately make decisions. Thats probably the most useful advice, the most constructive advice ive been able to give him. Personnel is policy, in other words. Especially for a Chief Executive who for the first time in the history of this republic has zero experience in Public Service of any kind, not the government nor the military. With policy positions all over the map, even changing from one day to the next, its nearly impossible to predict just what

I think that should be a very positive message. Make no mistake, the president is very proud of the product they produce. We are going to try to make this bill better if we can, but right now, where it is, it is not what we told the voters we were going to do. Shannon tonight, as President Trump finds himself in sell mode, we will delve deep into the divisions. Page david mcintosh, president of the club for this year, he just met with the president
