WASHINGTON -- Sure, it's all about bipartisanship. Not to mention the perks of watching the Super Bowl at the White House with the first fan playing host.
President Barack Obama is inviting a group of lawmakers -- some Republicans, many Democrats, and a few from Pennsylvania and Arizona -- to join him for Sunday's championship game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals.
....
The invited lawmakers are: Sens. Bob Casey, D-Pa.; Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; and Arlen Specter, R-Pa.; and Reps. Elijah Cummings, D-Md.; Artur Davis, D-Ala.; Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.; Charlie Dent, R-Pa.; Mike Doyle, D-Pa.; Trent Franks, R-Ariz.; Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz.; Paul Hodes, D-N.H.; Patrick Murphy, D-Pa.; Fred Upton, R-Mich.; and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C.

Will they be serving $100 a pound Kobe beef again?
How much is that party going to cost the American Taxpayer? How DARE they Party while people freeze in Kentucky!
No /sarc tag.
Zero dozed.......people froze.
Obama will probably root against the “bitter American” team from that “racist/redneck” part of Pennsylvania.
If you need me, just call....
Someone remind the POSPOTUS that Americans freezing and hungry? And they have the gonads to bring up Katrina???
If you need me, I'll call you....yea! Das mo betta!
you know you bring up a point with the people without electric and what’s interesting is this. I”m sure others have had super bowl parties but they are so narcicistic (how ever you spell that)that they announce it.
while Americans are dying in Kentucky...
Actually, I believe EVERY activity of the President (outside of the private residence) is PUBLIC....has to be....so this is nothing new that someone in the press publicized it.
It’s a party with a majority Dems and a few RINOS. It’s the party from hell.
As hundreds of thousands of people in Kentucky freeze in the dark!
Agreed. Amy Klobuchar’s (DFL-MN) voice would have me running through a plate glass window just to get away from the place. Wagyu or Kobe beef or not!
I was wondering why Obama would invite this Congresscritter, until I read on another thread that it looks like NH's RINO Senator, Judd Gregg, WILL get the Secy of Commerce spot, which will allow NH Dem Gov Lynch to appoint a Dem to the open NH Senate seat. I'm betting Hodes was invited 'cause the deal is done, and Obama just wants to butter him up.
Meanwhile people are freezing to death in an ice storm.
Where is FEMA, Mr. Obama?
It would have been far classier to have quietly gone to Walter Reed or other military rehab center and host a Super Bowl party for the troops.
