In the aftermath of this week’s electoral “shellacking,” President Obama on Thursday invited Congressional leaders to literally break bread later this month at a dinner at the White House as he tries to adjust to a new political order with Republicans ascendant.
Mr. Obama invited eight leaders of both parties to meet on Nov. 18 and then share a meal in the residence part of the White House. He hopes to use the get-together to start afresh after two years of partisan warfare leading to an election that vaulted Republicans to power in the House and strengthened their numbers in the Senate.

Those invited are Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the outgoing Democratic speaker, and her Republican replacement, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio; the number two party officials in the House, Representatives Steny Hoyer of Maryland, a Democrat, and Eric Cantor of Virginia, a Republican; and Senators Harry M. Reid of Nevada and Dick Durbin of Illinois, the top two Democrats, and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Jon Kyl of Arizona, the top two Republicans.

Gingrich Joins Cantor’s Effort To Remake GOP
How many Republicans are going to India with him? I would bet not many. Republicans should tell the President to cancel this vacation.
They need to tell him We Won. Screw.
Maybe the Republicans should show up with Caf-Pow jugs (a reference Obama might even understand).
If the (R)s have any sense, they’ll tell him to go to hell.
With the mass media’s help Barry-O intends to use this as a bludgeon and a photo-op for his own purposes.
Take food testers. And move quick if, like at Al Capone’s dinners, he lifts a baseball bat and positions himself behind anyone.
I trust Boehner and Cantor.
Do not trust McConnell or Kyl.
Yum Diet Dr. Pepper.
If the meeting includes a meal, might I suggest that the Pubbies take along a food taster.
Perhaps Reid or Pelosi would be kind enough to volunteer for the position.
They should Publicly announce : No thank you Mr President, we are quite comfortable in the back seat.
BO is so trite...recycling the dinner gambit that he pulled on conservative pundits right after his immaculation. Surely the GOP members he invites know that they will have some explaining to do to convince conservatives that they aren’t the GOP “elite” who are persona non grata in this TEA Party Era. I’d stay home and sort my socks instead of accepting that invitation.

please do not go
He lost, you won
His time is done
Move on without him
Give him no hold
Have courage, be BOLD!
Of course, you know, the Republicans must enter by the side door, and their tables will be in "the back" of the room (probably right next to the men's room door).
But they should be grateful that he actually acknowledges their existence........
NOW????
Maybe “O” wants to show them the 3rd degree astro turf burns on his a#@.
That was my first thought as well.
LOL!
And use the rear exit!!!
