For a president coping with a hyper-partisan Congress, a fix-resistent economy, a crack in the monument outside his living-room window, and a hurricane about to lash 60 million of his citizens, there were probably few better people for him to have dinner with last night.
President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama dined at the tasty State Road restaurant on Marthas Vineyard with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and state first lady Diane Patrick.
Joining the two first couples were White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and her daughter, Laura, as well as Washington attorney and powerbroker Vernon Jordan and his wife, Ann.
The attendance of the governor, who has been out of public view on vacation himself for much of the past three weeks, was kept a secret until the three-hour meal broke up just after 10 p.m.

Later Thursday evening, the President and First Lady traveled to State Road Restaurant in West Tisbury, where they enjoyed a three-hour dinner with a bevy of power brokers. Their dinner companions included Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick and his wife, Diane; senior advisor and friend Valerie Jarrett and her daughter Laura; and long-time Clinton friends Vernon and Ann Jordan.

Talk about an entire dinner table of losers!
Awwwh. Barry found solace.
Wasn’t Vernon Jordan involved with Slick Willy in some way?
Meanwhile, they are in power and we are not. That’s gotta change.
An affirmative action dinner, if there ever was one.
Can we offer Jordan as a sacrifice to Hurricane Irene???
That fool keeps re-surfacing like a ping pong ball in a busy river.
Clown boy gave a speech this morning telling me how to survive the hurricane.
Clown boy should keep his mouth shut as I doubt he has ever had contact with a hurricane and doesn’t have a clue as with everything else in life.
It was just a campaign ad.
Yep and I bet nary a one ate their peas......:)
Imagine all those black multi-millionaires, kvetching about racism and spreading the wealth to the people
He wanted to make we hobbits knew “MY” emergency management teams were on the job and HE directed the state governors to call “MY” agencies for help
EVERYTHING is about HIM
Hmmm....three hours. And the waitstaff didn’t even tell them to move along.
