Okay, I was NOT expecting this.....

[brooklynite]

"The President and Mrs. Obama request the pleasure of your company at a Holiday Reception to be held at The White House....."

Guess I'll have to check if I'm free...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. That sounds wonderful!

I'll bet you're free.........

[catbyte]

2. Wow, cool!

[Angry Dragon]

3. can you bring guests??

[bluestate10]

24. His wife probably. She seems to wear some pretty powerful financial pants in that family. nt

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

4. I'm going to alert on this post. It's insensitive to post such a thing and

not explain how you manged this!!!

[brooklynite]

9. Honestly, I don't know...

We contributed to the campaign, but not at a "bundlers" level. We've gotten Holiday Cards before, but never anything like this.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

25. We contributed too, so I'll keep my fingers crossed, foolishly. As for you--

congrats and enjoy! Don't forget to report back to DU, please.

[Suich]

5. Nice! n/t

[MFM008]

6. ok

Who are you?

[pnwmom]

7. CONGRATS!!! Was that email or snail mail?

I want to make sure not to miss mine . . .

[brooklynite]

10. Snail mail...

With an insert about calling the "Social Secretary" if I had any questions. I thought it was the Holiday Card coming early...

[pnwmom]

18. Well now you must go and tell everyone about it! Have fun!

[DCKit]

8. Good on you!

Hope you can!

[malaise]

11. Lucky you

I was hoping they'd send Air Force 1 to pick me up for all my hard work

[union_maid]

12. Congratulations!

Don't forget to bring back leftovers for the rest of us!

[marions ghost]

13. Congratulations, tell us what it was like!

If it's not snowing I'm going to the inauguration...trampling the mall with the cast of thousands.

They are already saying not as many will go to it this time. So I thought I would.

[Trailrider1951]

14. Wow, how cool is that?

Please, please, please attend and bring us back the scoop on who else attended, what transpired, and, of course, PICTURES, LOTS OF PICTURES! (so that we may have that vicarious experience through your eyes)

[Baitball Blogger]

15. Lucky you.

[hootinholler]

16. If you can't go I'm local to the WH.

Well within 30 miles. I can walk there from work though.

That would be so cool. Enjoy your evening.

[kanda]

17. That's awesome!

Have a wonderful time!

[quinnox]

19. you are a 1%, you have said so in the past

Probably they are aware of you and that you support the Democrats financially. I don't think this is so surprising to get an invitation, with this backdrop.

[bluestate10]

22. Jealous much? nt

[cali]

23. so what?

[ProudProgressiveNow]

20. K&R nt

[bluestate10]

21. That is what writing big checks gets you. I fell short of the invite list. Make the time, it is a

once in a lifetime invitation.

[darkangel218]

26. Dammit, im jealous!!

[darkangel218]

[blm]

27. I checked. You're free. Now go.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

28. Cool! Fabulous!

How do we get an invite?

[IdaBriggs]

29. Yeah! Congratulations!

Enjoy!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

32. I would say this is a "clear my schedule" event. You simply must go! eom

[HarveyDarkey]

33. Good on you

have a great time, as if I had to say that

[gateley]

34. Ask him what his username on DU is.

[LiberalAndProud]

35. That must be thrilling.
