And we, the American taxpayers are paying for this tribute to garbage? Obama loves to spend our money and Moochell will wear a very expensive outfit just for the occasion.
Let the left pay for this, or the DemoncRATs. Bambam has plenty of personal funds put away. I heard Rush say something about the British Royals spending 50 million for their upkeep - outrageous? Yes, but not when you consider Obama has spent something over 1.4 Billion on his own and for his own personal fun. Where are the Republicans on this outrage???

That one surprised me too. Although I’m sure his politics agree with those making the choices.

Great opportunity for Letterman to give Urkel a lap dance in private.

First time in years I have seen Letterman. He started off by saying “Republicans tried to block my award.”

Then he said he met Obama, from what I recall: “Radiant, tall, never better looking, strong, well-rested, what you want from a President. My knees buckled meeting him.”

Chris Matthews has company.

Spoken like a serf and not like a free man.
