WASHINGTON - -- What's the hottest ticket in the nation's capital?
An engraved invitation to Tuesday's White House State Dinner, the first hosted by President Barack Obama.
He and the first lady will honor Manmohan Singh, India's prime minister -- in a big way, and in their way. In a departure from the most traditional venue, the elegant, high-ceilinged State Dining Room, the Obamas instead will gather with a few hundred VIPs in a huge, heated tent on the South Lawn.
The guest list for the black-tie gala remains a closely guarded secret, so there's heavy speculation about who may turn up. Expect Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill. Several Chicago notables are good bets, such as talk show diva Oprah Winfrey, hotel billionaire Penny Pritzker, businessman Marty Nesbitt and physician Eric Whitaker.

so is this to celebrate and laugh at the sheep who were foolish enough to open pandora’s box by electing this wicked shepherd.
I would love to be invited, just for the opportunity to give my regrets.
What’s wrong with the State Dining Room?
In a tent... My word, how classless is this couple. Bet they use paper plates and plastic utensils.

Why have it on the friggin’ lawn in November? Have you tried to walk on grass in high heels? Are they going to put up port-a-potties for the invited VIPs?
Are they serving vegetables grown in the garden?
So Obama is having a kegger on the north lawn for his friends! And, oh yeah, Prime Minister Singh of India will be there. And a possible appearance by Oprah!
Prime Rib will be served along with a pig roast and authentic Hawaiian poi!
Two aides will play the parts of Vishnu and Durga (Ganesha will not make an appearance) in a play about Universal Health care.
So make an appearance South Side playas! Yo!
*reading Headline Only*
John McCain must be sighing with relief
I bet the broccoli from the first garden gives Michele the wind so they have to be out in the breeze. Apparently the Potomac smells better..
Another pat each other on the back so they can think they are all doing something good party. Makes me chuckle a LOT.

Oooooooh...gosh...I’m hanging on every word to see who is invited ... :) chuckling a lot again!
I keep hearing that ‘the garden’ is laced with human waste? Have you heard that?
I hope it rains!
