Obama heads to Congress, but will make nice only with Democrats

McClatchy reports:

President Barack Obama will make a rare trek to Capitol Hill this week to huddle behind closed doors with lawmakers as they debate how to pay the government’s bills, rewrite the nation’s immigration laws and adjust the government’s surveillance programs. But he will only meet with Democrats to push his agenda before Congress departs for its annual month-long vacation – a decision that has served to strain his already tense relations with Republicans.

Obama is more comfortable with only one political party: Chicago roots.
