The Top Political Writers are all doing it for free on the internet. These guys are simply more third-rate people very much like the appointees Obama appoints.

Well, at least I know which "political writers" to TOTALLY IGNORE now.

Naaah.
More like brainWASHING session.
Fareed Zakaria huh?
An Islamic terrorist supporter if I ever saw one, and a big America hater to boot. He and 0bozo are like 2 peas in a pod.

Yup.
0bozo doesn't seem to realize that all these publications that back him are dying from collapsing circulation, disappearing revenues and profits, in part because they are so blatantly partisan and shill for 0bozo 24/7.
Few normal Americans know are care who Fareed Zakaria is.

He doesn’t need to give these guys a lunch in order to get favorable articles out of them.

All the people mentioned as attending are legends in their own minds. That must have been one boring lunch. I’m hopeful the public might begin to realize that the Washington crowd is self-important, is not America, and really doesn’t know what it’s talking about.
