Truth is, Obama has to meet with Republicans and various Republican groups that I consider bigoted in several dimensions. Bigoted against black people, bigoted against Hispanics , bigoted/sexist against women and definitely homophobic.

I think he has to meet with many of these groups and at least hear them out before voting against them and working against them.
