Washington President Obama and congressional leaders of both parties broke bread Friday at the White House for a post-election discussion on the issues of the day, including areas of possible compromise and some longstanding areas of disagreement.
The lunch came three days after a sweeping Republican victory in Tuesdays midterm elections, in which the GOP won control of the Senate. In opening remarks, Mr. Obama congratulated the Republicans for running a strong campaign, and then noted the frustrations of Americans over Washingtons inability to solve problems.
I think theyre frustrated by the gridlock, the president said at the table in the Old Family Dining Room. Theyd like to see more cooperation. And I think all of us have the responsibility, me in particular, to try to make that happen.
Topics on the table included jobs, education, Ebola, and the Islamic State.
Then theres immigration the issue that threatens to blow up Obamas relationship with the GOP leadership, even before the new Congress is seated in January. At issue is Obamas pledge to take executive action on immigration before the end of the year, likely granting relief from deportation to several million people in the United States illegally. Critics call such a move executive amnesty.
The White House press office's readout on the lunch contained one line about immigration, separate from the discussion of areas of common ground.
The president reiterated his commitment to taking action on immigration reform in light of the Houses inability to pass a comprehensive bill, the statement said.
The office of House Speaker John Boehner (R), in its own readout of the meeting, also mentioned immigration - in no uncertain terms.
The speaker warned that unilateral action by the president on executive amnesty will erase any chances of doing immigration reform and will also make it harder for Congress and the White House to work together successfully on other areas where there might otherwise be common ground, said the statement from Speaker Boehners office.
Earlier Friday, at a press breakfast hosted by The Christian Science Monitor, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus called Obamas pledge to take executive action on immigration a nuclear threat to reject the basis of the separation of powers doctrine. Later he likened it to throwing a barrel of kerosene on the fire. Mr. Priebus said Republicans would explore options to stop Obamas move, both legal and legislative.
