This will be the 1st White House dinner where the guests eat on their knees.....and not because of Indian tradition either!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Wonder if Brian Williams eats out of the side of his mouth.

[Steelfish]

Great post! LOL!

[mdittmar]

What’s for dinner?

[Red in Blue PA]

Thanks. Sadly, there is really no sarcasm in my post!

Here's the dessert:

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

I wonder how much of our money and jobs Obammie the Commie promised to India to get them to make an about-face on abiding by climate-control laws.

[peggybac]

After seeing the menu, I wouldn’t even want to go, Republican or Democrat.

Any Stern, what a shocker. It there was one person that was first on the guest list, it was Andy. I can’t wait to see SEIU busted like ACORN. SEIU and Stern are the the Obongo puppet masters along with Goldman Sachs and Soros. So many masters and only one puppet. No wonder he’s losing weight and getting gray hair in 9 months. Hard to appease that many people.

Jindal?

[Miss Didi]

At first glance I thought it said—Sanjaya!

[Steelfish]

Highest ranking American-Indian political office-holder.

[Third Person]

Did Larry Sinclair make the list?

[gusopol3]

Andy Stern really isn’t a guest— he lives at the White House.

[red irish]

Why can’t they just have a dinner? Why does everything have to be a big show when so many Americans are hurting? Instead of feeding the rich why not get the American people some damn JOBS, jackassesx!

[samadams2000]

A parade of losers.

[mickie]

Of course CNN broadcast the State Dinner.

In order to accommodate 400 guests, a "tent" had to be built outside. Hardly a tent, with souring ceilings, chandeliers and mountains of flowers. No expense was spared.

With the hardships the American people are facing, high unemployment, two wars and deep debt.......it makes one sick to see this indulgence.

[They'reGone2000]

Are we having fun yet???

John Doerr is there. He is the billionaire venture capitalist (ethanol, carbon trading among other green projects) who blubbered about his daughter and broke down crying on stage at the TED conference. His kid said "Dad, your generation created this problem, you have to fix it (so) my partners and I set off on this mission...I'm really scared...I'm afraid we're not going to make it...I'm sure all you've seen Al Gore's..."
