Obama HQ briefs Romney's press corps

DYLAN BYERS |3/20/12

The Obama 2012 team hosted an off-the-record briefing for Mitt Romney's press corps at Chicago headquarters today, reporters tell me.

Obama press secretary Ben La Bolt and deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter hosted the event, during which reporters were given a tour of the office and asked questions about the Obama team's strategy and outlook on the 2012 race. Campaign manager Jim Messina is said to have made a cameo appearance.

Reporters described the event as unrevelatory and said nothing groundbreaking was discussed, but also described it as an important "get-to-know-you" session for the TV, print, and wire reporters in attendance.

The Romney campaign, which has had a complicated relationship with its press corps, seems to have been unaware that the meeting took place.

In separate emails, press secretaries Andrea Saul and Rick Gorka would not say if they had known about the meeting. But both seemed unfazed.

"That's fine. We brief them on the failures of the Obama White House every day," Saul emailed.

"That's fine, we brief them on what a failure the President has been on a daily basis," Gorka wrote.
