Look for Washington types such as Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Party crashers were not welcome. After Tareq and Michaele Salahi got through White House gates without invitations to a state dinner, guests had to bring a dinner ticket or printed invitation to attend dinner pre-parties at the Washington Hilton Hotel. Organizers said they were trying to cut down on crowds.

It’s all an illusion....why tomorrow, when the news comes out, it will be all about how this evening’s gathering was one of the most memorable everrrrrr....and everyone was just stunning, beautiful, wonderfully dressed and funny and and and.

I’m glad I no longer own a TV because I’m sure it would end up through the living room window.

About a naked Rahm. “I feel you!” Oooops.

Donatella Versace. Born, 2 May 1955 (1955-05-02) Tomorrow she is 55.

Wow, after all that work she really looks MUCH older.

And, notice only very, very tepid applause when he patted himself on the back for passing healthcare? About 25% of the audience applauded.

Pres. Bush, 2007, normal, self-deprecating, compassionate (but, surprisingly, he does get a real dig in at Obama .. even then in 2007, around the 5:00 mark)

He is NOT American.

He does NOT understand American humor.

Speechwriter Jon Favreau was reportedly the source of tonight’s boring and me me me speech, per usual.

I heard that his good friend Axela$$ had something to do with speach also.

Obama just laid a big fat one tonight. One of the worst I've seen in the past 20 years or so. Reminded me a bit of Stephen Colbert from a few years ago. He wasn't funny - he was just plain nasty towards Bush. And it was obvious Bush didn't find much of it funny.

[Roscoe Karns]

The Eric Massa joke wasn't half bad but the rest was awful.

[keepitreal]

The audience look like it died and had to stand up anyway.

[kabar]

He has no sense of humor or anything else. He is a sociopath incapable of real feelings.

[ejdrapes]

Tepid applause and NO cheers. I have a feeling Leno will bomb too.

[toldyou]

“...all of these jokes are flat....total crap. George W Bush was 1,000 times funnier than Zero is.”

George W was so funny! I have not laughed once tonight at Obama....and, he’s done. He just can’t pull it off like W!

Obama is so fake...

George W. was genuine.

[STARWISE]

OMG!!!

Can it be true, verified ?

I've made an appointment for you with your optometrist for Wed next week at 1PM. You really, really need to go. And... someone should drive you there.

Remember when those old shows used the hook to pull a performer off stage? They shoulda used it. That, or the gong from the Gong Show.

Jay is bombing. Seems tense.

[KJC1]

No kidding. This was really something else, and entirely UNpresidential. Not that I’m surprised.

Are you sure he and Algore were not separated at birth?
