White House: Obama ready to mend fences with Reid

President Obama is open to mending fences with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), the White House said Tuesday.

Reids chief of staff, David Krone, unloaded on President Obama and the White House press office in comments published Tuesday, blaming them for Democrats' blow out loss inthe midterms.

If they do that, I doubt itll be published in The Washington Post, frankly, Earnest added.

The Post story featuring Krones comments appeared just minutes after Republicans seized control of the Senate.

The presidents approval rating is barely 40 percent, Krone said. What else more is there to say?

Krone also accused the White House of only providing lip service to working together on election strategy, and said administrative missteps like the botched rollout of ObamaCare had served as an anchor around Democratic candidates. He also said the White House was too protective of its donors.

We were never going to get on the same page, Krone said. We were beating our heads against the wall.

Reids press secretary than repeatedly re-tweeted tweets about the story, underscoring perceptions that the criticism was authorized by Reid himself.

But Earneston Thursdaythat Krone's comments did not actually reflect the true nature of the relationship that exists between President Obama and Sen. Reid.

And of signals that Reid himself had endorsed the criticism, Earnest said to go ask the you know, some staffers in Sen. Reids office about their opinion.
