Strange bedfellows: White House reaches out to Sen. Paul for economy meeting

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a frequent thorn in President Obama's side, is among a bipartisan group of senators expected to attend the president's announcement Thursday on the designation of "Promise Zones" to help communities tackle poverty.

Paul is also expected to join Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other lawmakers at a private meeting with the president at the White House to discuss the initiative prior to the announcement, an aide for Paul told Fox News.
