WASHINGTON — Members of Congress lined up near a fire pit on the South Lawn on Tuesday to eat Northwest-style salmon while others chomped down on Midwest-style hot dogs.
It was all part of the White House's annual congressional picnic, and this year the event featured foods from regions across the country for a "Tastes of the States" theme.
President Barack Obama, standing next to first lady Michelle Obama, told lawmakers he wanted to thank them for their "incredible devotion to the country, regardless of party." As part of the event, every member of Congress is invited, along with their families.
Obama said the nation has seen a tough few years and "that's meant that Congress has had to do more on a whole range of issues." The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico means more pressure to work together and with the administration to dealing with the crisis, he said.

Glad to hear Reggie Love is still around. He’s serving what purpose again?

I know I am a glutton for punishment for reading this drivel, but the SOB sounds like the CEO of a company at a company picnic etc...finishing up with “On behalf of Michelle and myself, we hope you enjoy the evening...blah...blah..”
One would think he reached into HIS OWN POCKET and footed the bill.
We are doomed......as long as this ENTIRE group is ‘guiding us’.
Heavy duty carbon footprint there ..... On the White House lawn.
Muslims don’t like dogs.
He has no scruples.
The Nomenklatura enjoy themselves while the rest of the country suffers. I wonder if they had an silent auction for earmarks? Using our money.
They sure do tear up the WH lawn a bunch.
Poor little Barry Soetoro, he’s so skinny and weak he can’t hold back Bo and wtf is he doing holding the leash in his right hand? Left side you moron. Wookie is so damn big and awkward.
“run Forrest, run’!!!

Here in New England,he might be the sort that’s the best we can hope for. I would prefer any so called RINO,Libertarian,Constitution Party candidate,or moderate conservative to the US Senate and Reps we have now in Rhode Island.
Can you imagine the talk in the Secret Service locker rooms about Obozo and his mate?
“phat-ass maBelle michelle......yellow & green top, green pants too tight for her phat ass, and blue shoes. Another fashion setting day for the oooogliest bitch ever in the WH. Even the commie pig 0bozo looks on with disgust & revulsion!”
There were uglier first ladies than Michelle Obama. However, definately never more bitchier, arrogant and vain.
RE: “They are lucky that she didn’t trip and fall on her face.”

Yeah, ‘cause if she’d fallen, her Nancy Pelosi style wig might’ve fallen off. LOL
This would have been a good time for an empty plane to crash right into the party of the scum sucking people that are stealing our tax money and living high on the hog.
Looks quite comfortable doesn’t he!
I’m thinking Louis XVI, myself, what with all the food and entertainment and all.
Why are they always flying in chefs?
Because Michelle has a voracious appetite for variety?
Obie and wookie just behaving normally. They look at this country as their personal plaything with us footing all the bills. They are both spoiled children who fooled enough people to get into the White House and are just taking advantage of all the perks. Class? Huh? Never had it. I wonder if they even know how much they resemble Louis and Antoinette?
