This from Politico about the forced move to Thursday night for the Obama speech:

The White House is viewing it as very consequential, however. “It is a big deal,” the source said. “It shows the House Republicans will do no outreach, nothing.”

Please. After the Pelosi-Reid maneuverings when they were in charge? A little bipartisan perspective, anyone?
