Earlier, I was doing a little research on the Red Cross COB. During Obama’s recent photo op at the Red Cross Command Center she was MIA, previous visit, Haiti IIRC, she was front and center.
Bonnie McElveen-Hunter, ex-U.S. Ambassador to Finland and former Elizabeth Doyle Finance Chair, has donated a good deal of money to mostly Republican campaigns. She is DC A-list, a prominent member of the party circuit where party affiliation seems to be checked at the door.
Looking over this A-list, it's clear to me just how phony and incestuous is this political game. We are getting played as the WH plays dangerous games ... meanwhile MSM, politicians, socialites, and business execs party on as they enrich their coffers, special interests, self interests, and power.
You may find a few surprises on the A-list guest list ... maybe not.

THE SOCIAL ORDER, WASHINGTON DC, CIRCA 2009
By Carol Joynt
There were a thousand parties in Washington during the four-day celebration of the Inauguration of President Barack Obama. Each had its reason, its draw, its crowd, its list of the known and unknown. Here is the list of individuals invited to the supper party held Inauguration Eve at the Fairfax Hotel. The hosts were long-time Washington hostess Buffy Cafritz and her husband, Bill; former Kentucky First Lady and Miss America, Phyllis George, California oil billionaire Robert Day and his wife, Kelly; and a Washington couple connected like few others, Ann and Vernon Jordan.
It serves as a snapshot of the Washington A-list at the dawn of the Obama Administration. The most meaningful A-list will be established when the President and Mrs. Obama host their first State Dinner. Stay tuned.
McElveen-Hunter encouraged guests to tour her newly-decorated Georgetown manse. This pillow was on the chair at the top of the first landing.
