Wow Marlin Fitzwater.. nearly forgot about him.

But a 'luncheon' with 'black journalist' to discuss issues is not exactly what was going on here.

Me too. Talk about a blast from the past.

I'm sure that there was no attempt at that luncheon to sway any opinion, right? Granted that the method was far more subtle, but the intention was the same. The primary difference is that the Obama Administration is far more amateur in their approach to relations with these groups. The result is that you'll see this blow up on them more often.

Actually from the accompanying article it was mainly to apologize the "hullabaloo" caused by remarks made by the Assistant Secretary of Education. If fact the intention behind that meeting sounds like the total opposite of what Obama tried to do here, but, point taken.
