The change is a blatantly transparent attempt to repair the GOP’s ridiculously low performance among minority and immigrant voters.

Faced with a recalcitrant congress and a hostile House Majority Leader, the President takes his case for middle class tax cuts directly to the public.

Eric Cantor appeared as Leslie Stahl’s guest on 60 Minutes and did his best to whitewash, downplay, revise history, deny history, appear reasonable and ‘humanize’ his image . . . all in vain, I might add, for anyone who knows Cantor’s record and what appears to be his rabidly personal animosity toward the President.

I sense a pattern forming here. Just two days after Michele Bachmann had an event interrupted by the 99% at a campaign event on the USS Yorktown, Eric Cantor got the ‘Occupy’ treatment at an event on the Rice University campus in Texas.
