Obama dines with GOP, asks for $600 billion in new taxes
The Daily Caller ^ | 3/7/13 | Neil Munro

Posted on 03/07/2013 10:50:35 AM PST by Nachum

President Barack Obama picked up the tab for a March 6 dinner with 12 Republican senators, winning himself some very cheap publicity for his new legislative strategy of outreach to swing-voting GOP lawmakers.

Senators leaving the event were complimentary about Obama’s statements and responses to their views, despite the deep ideological differences over spending, guns, families and immigration.

The invited Senators were picked by Obama and by Sen. Lindsey Graham, the high-profile Republican senator from South Carolina.

Awesome!

Just what I needed!

Next visit to gastroenterologist, he will probably ask me if I knew why IBS was flaring up.

I will show him a picture of the 12 guests, along with Obama.

Maybe if I go with "calm" it will save me a trip to dr!

Thanks!

“Obama picked up the tab?”

The tab for the meals was miniscule compared to the tab for the 20 car motorcade and the security required when he’s out on the town.

If Obama was interested in saving taxpayer money, why didn’t he have the dinner in the White House? Wonder if his calligraphers prepared invitations for the guests?

"Zer0 takes out 12 politicians"

Politically, all of them named Judas.

The worthless GOP jerkwads should have stood up, told him to screw himself and walked out then and there.

Screw them all.

They didn’t lower their standards, they are on the same level as the kenyan. The king commanded his feudal lords to appear and like good vassals they did.

Curses and a pox on all of them.

Who were the 10 senators who went with McIgnorant and Greyed Ham?

Good question.

Did he use one of these to pay for dinner? I hear you can get air miles if you do.

I long ago made a promise to myself to outlive clinton and to piss on his grave. Now, I’ve got to work even harder to live long and prosper so I can outlive this kenyan bitch to piss on his grave as well.

I’d prefer to outlive him and defile the corpse (why waste perfectly good urine) but I may be physically unable. I’d give it a good go though.

That facial expression on the Mooch’s face reminds me of Aunt Ester.

He's generously picking up the tab? How nice!

Is he personally picking up the tab as well for his 20 car motorcade to the fancy hotel only a half mile away?

In the old Soviet Union, the Big Bosses always blocked off all traffic for their huge motorcades which they sped through at 100mph just to show off their importance, too.

It's nice to see things haven't changed too much over the years for these rulers exercising their role as the Dictatorship of the Proletariat...
