Another Exclusive Party at W.H.—at Taxpayer Expense
The Weekly Standard ^ | Apr 9, 2013 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 04/09/2013 7:58:54 AM PDT by LucianOfSamasota

On Barack and Michelle Obama's schedule for today, this event is listed:

7:30PM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY host a concert celebrating Memphis Soul music as part of their “In Performance at the White House” series; THE PRESIDENT delivers remarks

As the White House has previously announced, Justin Timberlake (who will be making his White House debut), Al Green, Ben Harper, Queen Latifah, Cyndi Lauper, Joshua Ledet, Sam Moore, Charlie Musselwhite, Mavis Staples, and others will be performing at the exclusive event.

But while the performers are known, the guest list for the private event has not yet been released.

One imagines it's a tough ticket to come by. To attend any event at the White House, one must be invited. (The White House is now closed for public access by members of the general public.) And especially this one, with Hollywood and musical stars--and with remarks by the president of the United States.

Given the list of stars - I’m not so sure - I’d be suffering if I had to sit there and politely listen to all of those people.

If the DNC audits B. Hussein, they will find that all of his political stunts are aimed at generating “donations” for Obama’s RETIREMENT SLUSH FUND.

The Conservative citizens of DC need to picket that place when these extravaganzas go on.

Maybe then the Queen and King of our MONEY would think twice about kicking the s^%$ in our face with these parties.

I wonder if the media would even notice.

Hey...this is Obama’s way of contributing to the economy. These entertainers really need the work and more money so they can afford their luxurious lifestyles. Wouldn't want them to "eat their peas" like the rest of America has been told to do. *smirk*

So the taxpayers are footing the bill for all their air travel and 4-Star hotels?

Is Obama sending AF-1 to pick them each up?

Obama’s RETIREMENT SLUSH FUND.

I think he lusts for the 'purple', and his efforts are designed to create a 'Chavez-style' dictatorship.

But hopefully you are right, and he's just a corrupt pol.

Now now, this isn’t ALL being paid for by the American public. 49% don’t even pay taxes!

Besides, it’s being taped for Public Television. So they are probably covering part of the cost. < /sarc >

Oh, good. So the kids who can't get a White House tour can at least watch the PBS broadcast to see what the insides of the people's house look like!

I hope Booker T sticks around so he can catch that ‘3:00 a.m. phone call’ from North Korea.

Drunk or sober, for sure he will handle it better than “O” or anyone in THAT administration.

Barry Soetoro, a legal citizen of Indonesia, who is also known as B. Hussein Obama, is a confirmed Communist.

Barry/B. Hussein also considers himself to be a World Citizen.

America is just the first of the low-hanging fruit that B. Hussein plans to harvest.
