Senator Thune Discusses New Political Landscape in Washington

Now that the new political landscape is set Washington, president Obama called a bi-partisan luncheon yesterday to discuss upcoming issues that Capitol Hill will face over the next two years. In attendance of the lunch was South Dakota senator john Thune, who took the president's attempt at meeting with house and senate republicans as sincere. This is promising news to our senator as hopefully this means there will be more discussion, more compromise, and more legislation passed in the final two years of Obamas presidency. Well it's always a little bit about optics as you know in Washington, but I appreciate the fact that the President was reaching out to Senate and House republicans and democrats, it was a Bi-Partisan meeting. But I think he wants to try and create the conditions and a foundation of trust in order for us to get some things done said Thune.

Thune went on to say that in order for the republican majority leaders, and the democratic president to work together, that may hinge on Obama not using as much executive action to bypass congresses approval.
