CTV ^ | January 31, 2009 | Associated Press

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.

There are some parties to which it is an honour not to be invited.

Obama will probably root against the “bitter American” team from that “racist/redneck” part of Pennsylvania.

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.

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.

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!

Paul Hodes, D-N.H

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?

Obama has the heat jacked up to 80 degrees in the White House while hundreds of thousands freeze without heat and water.

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.
