Looks like the Wednesday hooha at the White House is going to be a regular thing:
The White House is the place to be on Wednesdays.Since the presidency changed hands less than six weeks ago, a burst of entertaining has taken hold of the iconic, white-columned home of America's head of state. Much of it comes on Wednesdays.
The stately East Room, where portraits of George and Martha Washington adorn the walls, was transformed into a concert hall as President Barack Obama presented Stevie Wonder with the nation’s highest award for pop music on Wednesday.
A week before that, the foot-stomping sounds of Sweet Honey in the Rock, a female a cappella group, filled the East Room for a Black History Month program first lady Michelle Obama held for nearly 200 sixth- and seventh-graders from around the city.
Cocktails were sipped during at least three such receptions to date, all held on Wednesdays.
Of course, it seems odd to me that an administration so concerned about bankers and investment brokers partying with taxpayer dollars isn’t similarly concerned about how government parties with taxpayer dollars.

Hey, the WH ain’t the people’s house any more. It’s Barry’s crib, Yo! /s off
We need video of this.
Even the boys of the politburo knew enough to hide this stuff at their dachas.
I imagine Markie Post et al will be invited back to jump up and down on beds and God knows what else when Clinton was there. Maybe some back door fire sales on silverware and paintings. Who knows.
Why do I picture Barry Soetero boogying in a Botany 500 leisure suit, as “Machine Gun” by the Commodores plays in the background.
Colt Malt Liquor is sold out for a 10 block radius of the White House!
Wonder if anyone will complain about the rap music?
Um...
“Cocktails were sipped during at least three such receptions to date, all held on Wednesdays.”
Just out of curiosity, does the taxpayer pay for those cocktails?
W didn't use it that much.
0bama does.
200 sixth and seventh graders can probably knock back quite a bit of gin..:)
“Cocktails were sipped during at least three such receptions to date, all held on Wednesdays.”
I’d like to know if we’re paying for his parties, too. Just like we paid for his Valentine date in Chicago via Airforce One. What an arrogant ba$tard he is.
I wonder if obama is an alcoholic . . . can you imagine if Bush had these cocktail parties every week?
I could see the video with a police raid on an episode of Cops.
"Let them eat...stimulus."
Cheers!
