He wooed Senate Republicans on a budget deal, tried to sweet-talk lawmakers from both parties to back him on a military strike against Syria, and is now hoping to reach an agreement that would keep the government from shutting down or defaulting on its debt. But when it comes to Congressional outreach, President Obama will only go so far. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill received a blast e-mail on Wednesday evening that was curt and blunt: Good evening, The 2013 Congressional Picnic has been cancelled. The president and Mrs. Obama look forward to welcoming members of Congress

King Zero has stamped his foot at Congress.
Just go lay down in the Rose Garden, Barry, if you’re gonna act like a terd.
If he can deem you in session or not, then he can deem a picnic in session.... or not as well.
what a ridiculous move
Republicans probably made him do it with the sequester.
Please put the cost of the cancelled picnic towards the debt. PLEASE! They don’t need a picnic now anyway. Wait until the debt is paid off completely.
It’s become impossible to separate the Satire from the actions of 0bama.
What a bunch of useless idiots. Vacations, golf, egg rolls, picnics. Good Lord, there are more important things going on in this country then worrying about a darn picnic!
Obama doesn’t need to have a temper tantrum and congress doesn’t need a darn picnic when first they don’t deserve it, and second we can’t afford it.
Washington, the land of Loons and Liars.
Well, in that case, Congress should just go hold its OWN picnic by George, and tell that ol’ meanie Obama that he is NOT invited!
There. That’ll show him! Oh, and while they’re at it they should remove ALL funding for all picnics given by the U.S. government EXCEPT the one Congress holds for themselves!
His scheduled beej takes precedence.
Just as well. Congress needs to spend every waking hour getting the CR finished. That’s the one that omits further funding for nobamacare.
“Let’s see if Obama is willing to shut down the government to fund Obamacare,” supposedly said by Ted Cruz. It’s still cool even if he didn’t say that. Exactly the right tone and attitude.
“It’s become impossible to separate the Satire from the actions of 0bama.’
Spot on. The whole Syria debacle was like “Pee Wee Herman’s Great Adventure in Diplomacy.”
Why do they need Obama to have a picnic? Have one anyway, but just don’t invite his sorry butt.
Barry throws a tantrum but Big Moosie gets to eat all the food they had stocked up for the picnic so she is happy as a pig in muck.
bam-bam throws a temper tantrum and says,,,”I’ll show you!”
Dear Congressperson ______ ________ The President regrets to inform you, that due to a bunch of unexpected circumstances, this year there'll be no traditional Kenyan war dances, face painting, cannibal fare sampling, or children's Zoo area with live grenade handling monkeys. May Almighty Allah Bless You, Signed, Valerie Jarrett.
