KUDLOW OFFERS DETAILS OF OBAMA DINNER Wed Jan 14 2009 12:15:47 ET
CNBC’s Melissa Francis: I HAVE TO ASK LARRY, I'M DYING TO HEAR ABOUT IT, YOU HAD DINNER LAST NIGHT WITH PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA. WHAT WAS THE TONE LIKE? WAS HE TRYING TO WIN OVER THE CONSERVATIVES? IS THAT WHAT IT WAS?
THERE WERE ABOUT TEN OF YOU THERE, RIGHT?
CNBC’s Larry Kudlow: THIS WAS AN OFF-THE-RECORD DINNER AND I'M GOING TO KEEP IT OFF THE RECORD IN TERMS OF DEEP CONTENT, BUT PEGGY NOONAN WAS THERE, PAUL GIGOT OF THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, BILL KRISTOL, MYSELF, CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SOME OTHERS. NINE OR TEN OF US. I DON'T THINK HE'S TRYING TO WIN US OVER, BUT HE'S TRYING TO CONNECT WITH US AND ENGAGE WITH US TO HIT GREAT CREDIT.THIS WAS A VERY CORDIAL DINNER.
Francis: HE IS CHARMING, RIGHT?
Kudlow: HE IS CHARMING, HE IS TERRIBLY SMART, BRIGHT, WELL-INFORMED, HE HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.

I heard that Rich Lowry was there.
Traditional Kenyan fetish.
Kudlow: “He’s a good man.”
He’s not a GOOD man; he’s a CON man.
I read a quote by someone who knew Obama in college saying that he made everyone in the room feel he agreed with them.
Obama is meeting with these people to turn on the charm, make them feel flattered and important, give them the impression he’s going to be paying attention to their opinions. He’s hoping that under the spell of his charm offensive, they’ll feel the Chris Matthews thrill running up their legs, too, and back off from attacking him while he works to implement his Communist agenda.
We need to keep letting our representatives and members of the press know of Obama’s history with Marxists, terrorists, and felons. I think many of these people live in their own little insulated worlds and that they don’t always know what we assume they know.
During the Reagan years Krauthammer was a Democrat speechwriter, for Mondale or Dukakis. Kristol is an opportunist seeking the best path to power and influence.
You have to give Kudlow a break, he rotted his mind on cocaine a few years back.
“I actually like Kudlow at times and Chuck more often than not and even Willie “
You’re starting to worry me...
Washington ruins these folks....even Newt looks like
Many here forget Krauthammer, Barnes and PJ ORourke were New Republic writers once and flew monkeys out of Marty Peretz’s butt.
Krauthammer is mostly a conservative. Who were the other conservatives at this dinner?
Rich Lowry
Michael Barone
The inviter was George Will. Is anyone more goy than him?
Michael Barone would seem to qualify as well.
Kristol was one of the earliest promoters of Palin to be the VP candidate.

I would go but insist the President pays for the whole affair (No matter who it is) from their own bank account. The Pres. or any other elected public official serves me not the other way around.
But Krauthammer could never quite bring himself to find much merit in her and Noonan - ugh. Miss continuously constipated just needs to exit stage left and retire somewhere.
Do you have a link for Michael Barone’s inclusion?
Here is a good one.
