From the Washington Post: “Hoping to recapture the bipartisan spirit, Obama will host nine congressional leaders at the White House today for talks about the economic recovery package …”

Evidence in support of this claim includes: staffers lacking login access to their computers, misspelled names on signs identifying staff desks, and “Obama struggled with the practice of using a different pen for every document he signed.”
