Barack Obama to host first state dinner in huge tent

Telegraph ^

The event marks a return to the lavish hospitality offered by President Bill Clinton and Mrs Clinton in the 1990s.

?????????????????????????????????????????

Ain’t that the truth!

Manmohan Singh knows that George W. Bush was the best friend India ever had in the White House.

Obama’s cozying up to the Chicoms can only be extremely disturbing to the Indian leader.

I don’t think a celebrity cookout in a tent at the end of November will make Mr Singh feel any warmer to the Socialist sympathies of Obama.

India is one of our closet democratic allies and deserves the respect of a full State dinner, not a celebrity hustle.

Do you think Obama will bow down low? think not.

MO usually dresses like a clown. Maybe 0’s trying to get a big-top theme going or something like that.

Party all the time, party all the time...all the Libs do is party all the time.

More like coke.

He’s a comedian, so who knows if he’s joking or not, but David Cross is claiming he brought cocaine to the recent White House Correspondents’ Association dinner and snorted it “maybe 40 feet from” the president.

Maybe this is so smokers can puff away. Wind and rain in the forecast? A Nor’easter?

TACKY!

I figured it out. It has to be a smell thing. They need air circulation. The problem is that we know that PBO gets cold easily and turns the heat up really high when it’s cold outside. When they turn the space heaters up on this “tent,” it could get really hot. I wonder if they’re gonna use energy efficient space heaters. I think they should “go green” and not use any heaters at all. LOL I hope they don’t catch the tent on fire . . .

Best comment so far. Absolutely right.

Celebrity (Payoff) Circus instead of a full state dinner - inside.

I hope Mr. Singh is not totally in despair about this country and his country’s friendship - after this “lavish hospitality” is shown him by Zero and his entourage.
