WASHINGTON — Members of Congress lined up near a fire pit on the South Lawn on Tuesday to eat Northwest-style salmon while others chomped down on Midwest-style hot dogs.
It was all part of the White House's annual congressional picnic, and this year the event featured foods from regions across the country for a "Tastes of the States" theme.
President Barack Obama, standing next to first lady Michelle Obama, told lawmakers he wanted to thank them for their "incredible devotion to the country, regardless of party." As part of the event, every member of Congress is invited, along with their families.
Obama said the nation has seen a tough few years and "that's meant that Congress has had to do more on a whole range of issues." The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico means more pressure to work together and with the administration to dealing with the crisis, he said.

1. The deficit is extremely high.
2. We are fighting two inconclusive and bloody wars.
3. Unemployment hovers at around 10%.
4. Infrastructure remains neglected.
5. The disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is one of biblical proportions, and it has yet to be resolved.
And here they are having a picnic.
Were I a member, I would not have come.
It’s wrong.
Quite the RINO
I think poor Bo is trying to run away from home. Run, Bo, run!
So did they serve oil-soaked crustaceans from LA, AL, MS, FL and TX?
Or possibly, petrolium-marinaded Red Snapper?
Glad Zero didn’t lose any party time over the Gulf of Mexico “inconvenience”.
phat-ass maBelle michelle......yellow & green top, green pants too tight for her phat ass, and blue shoes. Another fashion setting day for the oooogliest bitch ever in the WH. Even the commie pig 0bozo looks on with disgust & revulsion!
Did they serve pork?
Just asking.
Were Ok in Tx.
Obama is really unbelievable.
Awww... Hewen Thomas was front and center.
Looks like The One is out of hair dye again. The stress of the job is taking its toll on him.
He picked the wrong week to give up blow.
How much CO2 did Barry have released for the gastronomic delight?
Damn hypocrite.
Thanks maggie.
"Wow, getting wined & dined by 0bama the master ruler of our country. He's really a very nice man and those mean conservatives have been unfair to our benevolent socialist ruler. Can't wait for another critical vote so that 0bama will give me more of his personal attention, maybe even a plane ride on AF1. Ohhhh I think I may be the next RINO to swap parties for my new best friends, the demoRATs.
Love, Scott Brown"
What a gig.
Geez, Michelle could go down and sit on that busted pipe and there’d be no seepage whatsoever!
Thanks for the post/thread. Interesting.
A real lady never wears pants so tight that her “under pantie” lines show, and her pants should never creep up into the back of her crotch.
Doesn’t the White House have a mirror, for goodness sake!
You are funny. I get a pretty good visual there.
