He is going to be at every party he can think of and pass it off as government work. So it's on our dime.

Bingo. This is such pathetically stupid, fake poseur nonsense ... and yet we're supposed to take it seriously. Emperor's new clothes, anyone?

LOL! I’ve read the same sort of eye witness accounts. Wonder if he’ll take the girls to let them experience the pop culture even first hand. Prolly not.

Exactly. There is absolutely no reason for congresspeople to constantly troop off to Washington like it’s 1789 or something. Committee hearings can be done via teleconference, votes, as you say, electronically, and our reps can stay in their home districts, making the lobbyists have to come to them to do the hustle.

Billions of dollars saved. Accountability strengthened. If they all want to get together, they can meet for the State of the Union once a year.

It makes perfect sense. Which is why official Washington would HATE it.

Is Grumpy Cat appearing at SxSW again this year? She’d probably pull a larger crowd than Hussein.

“”I’m going to ask everyone for ideas and technologies that can help update our government and our democracy””

Democracy? Try Republic!!! How about looking for ideas on updating the computer system at the IRS? I hear they’re still operating with the abacus....

Hey folks - looks like the maddening symbols have disappeared from copying texts without our adjusting for them...did it happen earlier and I just hadn’t noticed? HOORAY!

Just making Congress use ObamaCare would be a good start.

All of it. LOL! But, shouldn’t these folks be open to giving their ideas up for free?

He could have gone to CPAC for free.

But those are bitter clingers.

Hahahahahahahaha! Serious needed a warning not to have a mouthful of lunch with that headline. Can’t stop laughing.

SXSW! Well, he could certainly score some primo weed there and no one would think twice if he walked arm in arm with Reggie down Sixth St. Hahahahahahaha! What a nightmare for his SS.

Noooooo! My eyes!

On his way, he can stop by the Capital (it’s taller than that one in D.C.) to lay praise on the one year anniversary where the New Black Panthers carried rifles and chanted, “A pig is a pig that’s what I said, the only good pig is a pig that’s dead. Oink! Oink! Bang! Bang!”

I had to zoom in to make sure one of the sponsors wasn’t the Texas Education Association (TEA). Hey, you never know these days.

Bingo. Precisely what I was thinking. Who goes to SXSW? Mostly Libs.
