Obama met certain columnists before speech, their reviews "shockingly" positive

[Fury]

(Washington Examiner) — President Obama’s sales pitch, of sorts, for the war in Libya was a bit more personal for some of the country’s most prominent columnists.

The president made a surprising pit stop before his address to the nation on Libya Monday evening, meeting with a group of newspaper columnists during their briefing with Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough, sources confirmed.

Attending the impromptu visit were the New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, Washington Post’s David Ignatius, Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol and Doyle McManus of the L.A. Times.

The reviews that followed were generally positive. Ignatius said Obama’s address offered “clarity” on the Libyan conflict and Kristol wrote that the president had “come a long way” in embracing the “American foreign policy mainstream.”
