He motorcaded to a house in Maryland this evening, and if the press pool report is accurate, he is breaking bread with William Kristol and David Brooks. (If Brooks and Kristol seem to be unusually briefed about Obama's thinking, you'll know why.)

Ellen Moran, the incoming White House communications director, set these meetings up.
Again -- establishment opinion matters to the Obama communications team.
