Around a pole and a grilled endive salad, Barack Obama appealed to Americans by the desired cooperation and pledged not to be partisan, "I do not judge ideas on their origin Democrat or Republican. I will judge them according to their effectiveness, and I am confident that the Republicans also want to produce results for the American people. "

It will take more than a lunch at the White House to ease tensions.
