According to CBS’ Mark Knoller, there will be NO WH pool coverage (?), just like his golfing today.

Actually, your “party on” tag probably isn’t justified in this instance.

The Gridiron scholarship dinners — local or national — aren’t something most politicians enjoy, because the skits are generally wickedly funny and can be downright mean. It takes a thick skin to sit through it, particularly for a narcissist.

Note that Obama has made excuses and avoided this event until now.

He may put on a smiley face, but he won’t have a good time.

I hear he is playing golf today. Hasn’t anyone bothered to tell him how that looks considering all that is happening today? (Or is he just that shallow)

The Middle Eat erupts in flames - throw a party!

Japan gets a double hit of an earthquake and tsunami, is burried in rubble and dead with the threat of a nuke meltdown - throw a party!!

That Zero sure is a class act.

Never let a chance for a party to go to waste.

Sent Biden the first year...Bubba the second year...

Obama doesn't have a sense of humor...The only thing funny about him is: Throwing a baseball, wincing when someone gets thrown in judo, his elephant ears....

Gosh, I feel like a bully....

I think the dinner should totally be cancelled...Nothing more than bullies....

Yes, Jedediah, but at least the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers gets to spend a night out from time to time!

How many days have I sat at my computer monitor wondering:

When will those hardworking folks in the White House EVER get to take a vacation?

I mean seriously. They’ve only taken twenty or so vacations since Mr. Hussein was elected. That’s at least half as many As I myself have taken in the past few years!

Same for you?

Plus I know the Gridiron dinner will be good for Japan.

Why not golf and a party? It's not like there's anything else going on in the world./S

Remember when the MSM told us that (to paraphrase) "You just couldn't make fun of 0bama because he's just so cool. There's really nothing about him that lends itself to satire."

With the elite media not much seems to have changed in the last 2 years.
