President Barack Obama talks Friday with journalists from the Trotter Group, including the Free Press' Rochelle Riley, center. He acknowledges his administration hasn't assuaged Americans' fears fast enough. / CHUCK KENNEDY/White House The man behind the Trotter Group

William Monroe Trotter (1872-1934) was the first African-American Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Harvard University. Barred by racism from pursuing a career in international banking, he settled for becoming an uncompromising activist and newspaper publisher who attacked racists and people he called "African-American accommodationists."

Trotter was the founder and editor of the Guardian newspaper and made the front page of the New York Times when he went to the White House and confronted President Woodrow Wilson about lynching and segregation.

Rochelle Riley had one question for the president. Read her column to find out what it was -- and how the president answered.

Obama: Democrats can win if voters can tune out attacks

DES MOINES | Democrats hope to take control of the Iowa House in Novembers election.

They say theyre offering an agenda aimed at improving economic security for middle-class families, revitalizing rural Iowa and growing the economy to expand opportunities for workers who are aided in upgrading their skills.

Rep. Mark Smith, D-Marshalltown, whose 47-member caucus currently is the House minority party, said a strong candidate-recruiting effort has made him optimistic heading into the Nov. 4 balloting that Democrats will be able to seize power in a chamber led by a 53-Republican majority the past two years.

We think that all too often the House (under GOP control) is focused on special interests and on personal ideology agendas rather than what the needs are of regular Iowans, said Smith, who was joined at a Statehouse news conference by Rep. Marti Anderson of Des Moines.

He said the choice for Iowa voters is between House Democrats with common-sense mainstream ideas to move the state forward versus tea party Republicans with fairly right-wing agendas to do things like restrict birth control and restrict workers rights.

Smith said Democrats want to freeze in-state undergraduate tuition at state universities for another year, expand preschool opportunities to more children, raise the states minimum wage, guarantee equal pay for women, improve the environment and protect the states vulnerable populations.

I think the best legislation that we have done through the years has been when we try to work together and come up with good, pragmatic solutions to the problems that regular Iowans are facing, Smith said.

Democrats in the House would listen to Iowans, work together to get things accomplished and keep D.C. politics out of our state Capitol.

House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha, was unimpressed with the Democratic to-do list.

These tired ideas only lead to job losses, less take home pay for hardworking taxpayers and less stability for Iowa families, he said.

State Democrats are vowing to confront ex-U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Dave Reichert on Thursday, when Gingrich appears at a Reichert fundraiser at the Issaquah Hilton Garden Inn.

Rep., Dave Reichert: The 2011 redistricting gave the 8th District Republican a much safer seat in Congress.

They may be biting off more than they can chew if either or both of the guests of honor encounter the demonstrators outside.

Gingrich used to relish arguing with Puget Sound liberals back in the mid-1990s, describing Washington as Ground Zero of the Republican revolution after the state elected six new Republican House members. He waded into a crowd of protestors outside the Space Needle for a brief and animated set-to.

Once a hostage negotiator in days with the King County Sheriffs office, Reichert specialized in disarming with cordiality liberal delegations from the group MoveOn.org during his first two terms in Congress.

American politics have, alas, drawn inward since then. Political handlers stress avoiding hostile encounters. Its especially wise strategy here. Washington Democrats work with one of the countrys most skilled trackers, who in 2012 filmed GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna in an embarrassing moment. (McKenna was set up.)

As well, event arrangers emphasize donor maintenance, giving of your time to those who give to you.

The Reichert event has various levels of givers. It will set back donors $2,500 apiece, or $4,000 a couple, to participate in a roundtable discussion with Gingrich. (Big Democratic donors paid $25,000 for an Obama roundtable in August.) A picture with Gingrich costs $500 or $750 a couple. General admission is $150 or $250 a couple.

Reichert has never been a confrontational conservative. He votes with Republicans in the House, but sometimes leaves the reservation on such conservation issues as funding the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
