Why hasn't that president guy invited us DUers to dinner at the White House?

You know who I mean. Wazzizname. Michelle's husband

Really

We're informed and smart and we could give him some good advice -- like what kind of dog to get, if he ever gets a dog, and how to raise his kids, and how Michelle should dress

1. What, the barbecue wasn't enough for you - now you want dinner?

:shrug:

[struggle4progress]

2. Yeah, I'm firmly of the "So what have they done for me LATELY?" persuasion

And by "lately" I mean: "within a time-frame that fits my short-term memory"

And by "barbeque" I mean: "Was that last week? I don't remember it"

3. Budget problems ...

I have it on good authority (hey, that guy that lives in the van DOWN BY THE RIVER knows his shit ... intimately) they did a study on this and were considering it, but the budget crisis intervened. Seems the most common outcome based on multiple thousands of runs of a computer model of what would happen indicated that the cleaning bill would be too high. It was determined that someone (and I'm not saying who, but they actually did narrow it down to a likely individual as the instigator) would throw a tofu burger that would hit Michelle in the head, and then it would be an all-out food fight as different factions tried better their position by using ever-increasingly offensive food products.

Several White House cooks were determined as likely casualties, and the backup plan of bringing in the #2 caterers actually just served to escalate the problem when everyone realized they were a subsidiary owned by the Olive Garden.

In the end, Obama thought the loss of life would be manageable and probably even beneficial as a sort of cleansing, but the end result of those models made clear that the Lincoln Bedroom, which is where he and Michelle love to get their groove on, would look very much like US Grant's headquarters after Shiloh and require millions to clean up.

And that's not counting the damage likely to be done to the curtains. What tomato sauce and tofu combined can do to fine linen is horrific.

All in all, Obama figured he was better off calling for a Middle East Peace conference and having all the leaders meet in Jerusalem.

4. OK. I'm gonna have to call bull$#!4 on that one. First of all, President Wazzizname,

you know, the guy married to Michelle, is sworn to uphold the Constitution, and foodfights are protected under the First Amendment as free speech and underr the Second as self-defense. And also, anybody who was at the barbeque can tell you it never happened.

5. Freedom isn't Free ...

Please deposit $24.72 in the White House offering box on your way out.

8. What do you mean? I have a Save The Date on my refrigerator right now.

[MrCoffee]

9. Uh-oh...I think someone didn't get an I-N-V-I-T-E

Are you sitting at Table 22?

[Midlodemocrat]

10. Yeah, I think someone has been left out. We're at the same table, right?

[Left Is Write]

11. Definitely.

12. well LynneSin is buddy-buddy with Biden, so she could use her connections

to arrange a DU meetup in the White House...

she probably would have done it before now if the lounge weren't so rude to her all the time....

[madinmaryland]

13. Hasn't Joe Biden been muzzled by the President?? Hmmm...

:think:

[BeachBaby]

15. I'm inviting him and Michelle to my summer meetup.

I'm situated between 3 AFBs - so it's nice and safe. He has no excuses. :7

[struggle4progress]

16. Hmmm. I'd assumed he was classy enough to invite me over without me inviting him over first

[SoxFan]

17. Maybe...

[Arugula Latte]

18. He should invite us all and then give us our ponies at that event.

We've waited long enough!

I want a beautiful palomino. I shall call her Golden Stardust.

[struggle4progress]

19. Don't even get me started on ponies
