Obama appears tonight at the Alfalfa Dinner, a gathering of Washington's elite with Confederate roots, a fact on which the president remarked, according to excerpts from his prepared remarks:
I am seriously glad to be here tonight at the annual Alfalfa dinner. I know that many you are aware that this dinner began almost one hundred years ago as a way to celebrate the birthday of General Robert E. Lee. If he were here with us tonight, the General would be 202 years old. And very confused.
Now, this hasn't been reported yet, but it was actually Rahm's idea to do the swearing-in ceremony again. Of course, for Rahm, every day is a swearing-in ceremony.
But don't believe what you read. Rahm Emanuel is a real sweetheart.
No, it's true. Every week the guy takes a little time away to give back to the community. Just last week he was at a local school, teaching profanity to poor children.

Hurrrrrrrr, hurrrrrrrrrrr, hurrrrrrrrrr. Oh, how splendid of an occasion.
Why should Robert E. Lee be confused? Obama is the descendant of slave holders /s
He would be confused because a British subject was president....
General Lee would be confused because how did an illegal alien/foreigner who did close to nothing in the Senate get to be president?
I think because he would be 202 years old.

Sounds to me like Obama is working really hard to inoculate the public for what they’re going to hear from Rahm on the Blago tapes..
Uh, who’s confused Barry? I highly doubt Bobby Lee ever mistook a window for door.
