Guess Who's Not Coming to Dinner?

It seems that our President just doesn't play well with others.

Despite promises to run a bi-partisan administration, the President has run Washington by what appears to be a 'members only' club.

According to House Republican Leader, John Boehner, at no time has President Obama ever held a meeting with Republicans concerning a national health care bill. He won't even discuss it with them. On his website, Rep. Boehner writes that "the President has not met with House Republicans since April, and when Republican Leaders asked for a meeting to discuss health care in a May 14 letter, the President ignored the request".

So much for working together to create a better America. Oh well, it's just another broken promise.

But the insult to injury goes much further than that. For his very first State Dinner, to be held at the White House, a "very select" group of 300 people are going to be invited to attend this historic occasion.

Do you want to guess who is not invited to dinner?

Top members of the Republican Party.

House Minority Leader John A. Boehner won't be there; he's on Thanksgiving break and home in Ohio. His deputy, Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, also didn't get an invitation to the dinner.

The President didn't invite his 2008 rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, even though Mr. Obama the candidate pledged a post-partisan presidency.

Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell received an invitation, but he will not be attending but there were notable others who did not rate an invitation including Democrats Max Baucus, Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen.

Pretty much, the President has snubbed some of the very people he swore to work with.

So who is coming for dinner?

Hollywood celebrities.

...talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, who endorsed Mr. Obama during the campaign, will be attending. Reports emerged Monday that Hollywood will be in the house: DreamWorks partners David Geffen, Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, along with Sony Pictures Entertainment Chairman Michael Lynton and WME Entertainment Agency co-CEO Ari Emanuel, will attend, according to deadline.com.

Yes, let's not have a meaningful dinner to show bipartisanship or American unity, instead let's invite people who's opinion doesn't really matter to attend a State dinner at the White House.

Way to go Barack!

I wonder if other "very important" people such as Lady Gaga or Perez Hilton will be attending too?
