As he works to build his coalition for the fall campaigns, Barack Obama plans to meet privately with the Congressional Black Caucus and the Democratic women of Congress tomorrow.
The Democratic presidential candidate is spending a couple of power-meeting days in Washington, convening not just with new policy advisors and labor leaders but also with lawmakers who could help him win this fall.
Obama reached out to the women's caucus by phone and email, inviting them to meet him at the Democratic National Committee building at lunchtime tomorrow. It's not clear what role Sen. Hillary Clinton may play in that meeting, but she is planning to appear with Obama next week at a confab with her national fundraisers.

I hope Obama does not make promises he cannot keep to the democratic black caususes after the is in the white house. I also hope they did not put pressure on him to do the unrealistic & impossible
venues to satisfy them alone.
