Are we paying?
It’s not a return to Camelot, it’s a return to clinton, who kept a constant stream of cocktail parties and entertainments going, sometimes to raise funds, and sometimes to ingratiate himself with people, especially the press.
There were parties for the press almost every day while clinton was in office, with stars and starlets circulating among the guests. Obama has been kind of clueless about keeping the press happy, but he’ll soon figure that out, too.
Of course, constant parties may not go over too big in a country mired in a great depression, but no doubt he’ll find ways to deal with that. FDR did it very well, living high off the hog while feigning sympathy for the downtrodden and oppressed.
I bet the SS requires some restriction on those.
At least he hasn’t rented out the Lincoln bedroom or Air Force One. Yet!
This wiener couldn’t park a car at one of our gatherings!
Oh yes .. and all those ‘coffees’ where envelopes of cash mysteriously appeared from foreigners and criminals.
I bet he lost his cookies-all of them.
“..... because many people don’t realize that parties are work in Washington,” he said. “There’s an agenda behind every event.”
So while we’re using a BIC to re-warm what’s left of last night’s pork and beans, their weekly happy hours will be “work” and the expense will be charged back to us peons through his new “happy tax”. His promise of “hope” and “change” has nothing to do with you and me. It’s all about HIM and his quality of life.
I’d like to crash the Whitehouse and stuff up his crapper.
Meanwhile the people in Kentucky get to freeze to death while Obama says nothing.
If I was a conservative senator or representative, explain why I’d be so excited to hang out with the guy I believe is turning us into the USSA? Like I’d be peeing my pants that I got an invitation? Gimme a fvcking break.
Note the MSM is not giving it Katrina-hype coverage either. Not black enough.
I had rather have a root canal than be in their presence.
Watch him ‘retire’ to a cushy board position at The Institues For Health.
Pay To Play!
Speaking of gatherings, I happen to have several gallon bags of frozen catfish filets that need eating, including the 22 pound blue cat I caught on rod and reel yesterday, done with night shift at the plant.
Skinny, hyper, not needing a beer or to eat much during the Super Bowl would be consistent with blow.
Inviting lots of leftists over to the people's mansion all the time will have the place stripped bare. A fork, a piece of wallpaper, a toilet bowl level, anything not nailed, bolted, and super glued down, will be taken as a trophy.
Imagine Bush doing this during Wartime.
Wow Happy Hour smoozing from THE O.
and here I thought he might restrict the “I won” arm twisting to a few “Lunchtime with Lennin” events.
Obama’s “presidency” is crappy hour.
Ford should be happy, Thunderbird in the White House!
Happy times are here to stay, every Wednesday is cocktail time.
Zero has the “president” thing down.
