Was any Tea Party people there???
At least 5 on the list were considered tea party or otherwise good conservatives.
But for some, it’s just more fun to argue that you can’t eat with anybody who isn’t a solid conservative, or it somehow taints you.
Personally, I’d like to see a lot MORE meetings with Obama. He has shown in the past that he likes to be liked, so if we made him hang around with our side all the time, he might start doing things to feel loved and appreciated.
