Earlier Tuesday President Obama takes his charm offensive to Capitol Hill. It'll be his first of three straight days of trips up Pennsylvania Ave.
Tuesday - Senate Democrats, Wednesday - House GOP Thursday - Senate GOP and House Democrats
When was the last time a sitting president took three days to mosey up to Capitol Hill for closed-door meetings?
This week will mark the president's third meeting with the House GOP caucus.
Flashback: One of the most fun moments of his presidency was his raucous Q and A with the House GOP at their 2010 retreat in Baltimore when he was seeking bipartisanship and selling health care reform.
It didn't ultimately work back in 2010 (no Republicans supported Obamacare), but what he said back then sounds not unlike something he could tell the House GOP on Wednesday:
"Yes, I want you to challenge my ideas ? I want you to stand up for your beliefs. The only thing I don't want ? is for Washington to continue being so Washington-like." abcn.ws/WEBeH9

ABC News / Washington Post Poll - On Eve of Conclave, Record Criticism of Church For its Handling of Sexual Abuse Scandals - From Gary Langer: "? an overwhelming 78 percent of Catholics now disapprove of how the church has handled the issue of sexual abuse of children by priests, and two-thirds disapprove strongly - the highest and strongest disapproval since the scandals erupted more than a decade ago, up sharply since U.S. church leaders sought to address the issue in 2004. Sixty percent of Catholics, more generally, describe the church as "out of touch" with the views of Catholics in America, and by 54-38 percent Catholics urge a new direction by the next pope, away from traditional policies and toward new approaches that better reflect "the attitudes and lifestyles of Catholics today." Less-frequent churchgoers, in particular, seek change - but even among those who attend Mass frequently, more than half call the church out of touch." http://abcn.ws/16n1ZS9
