It took three attempts, but the Gridiron Club -- a hokey, hallowed vestige of swampland-era Washington -- finally got President Obama to show up for their annual dinner Saturday night. And yet what did they get? No respect, we tell you -- no respect!
How fascinating, the president told the 650 guests at the downtown Renaissance Hotel, to be meeting at a time when, across the world, "a powerful spirit of change is tearing down old regimes, decaying institutions, remnants of the past."
Pause. "So, look out, Gridiron Club... I mean, look at this getup. Forget about winning the future. How about entering the present?"
By that point, though, Obama had already been serenaded by a gang of Gridiron members, impersonating the GOP House leadership while dressed as Hell's Angels, about how they're "gonna block Barack around the clock," to the tune of the old Bill Haley song.
We're gonna move Obama to the right We're gonna mock mock mock his election fight We're gonna talk, gonna talk, and then we might indict!
Yes, America, it's one of those Washington dinners: Where top politicians and media elite dress up in their finest -- white tie, in this case -- to eat, drink and lob passive-aggressive jokes at each other, celebrity roast-style, in a way that seems pointed and mean but only serves to feed the beyond-the-Beltway suspicion that They Are All In Bed Together.

Golf in the afternoon with the boys club? Yes. And then big laughs with the MSM in the evening.
The pictures posted at the link will make you hurl.

This is sick as matters overseas in many areas are dire to play politics. If he would DO HIS JOB by day I would over look this but he golfs by day and party’s by night and vacations and forms rent a mob thugs in between.
And at least 1/3 of our population loves this insane nitwit. Makes most of us wonder if America will ever recover. The communists and weak free loaders of America will take the Country down. We must stop them.
In other news, Nero fiddles.
Don’t forget that he didn’t even mention Japan in his reading of the weekly radio address.
Quite the day for the real Accidental President.
Glad things are running so smoothly that he had time to golf and make jokes.
Bush would be getting reamed up and down by the dems and the press would be showing the dems ripping him up and down. everyone knows it.
Heh.. Whenever i see an Ubama sticker on a car, I keep my distance.
You know the driver is a moron and you never know what a moron behind the wheel is going to do.
This is the same dinner where Bush made jokes about not finding WMDs under the table. Media didnt do much, but he was roasted here.
But the most important questions is: Who’s your Daddy?
