"The British are coming! The British are coming!"

Last night the Prez held a "State Dinner" at the White House (which wasn't TECHNICALLY a state dinner since the Queen of England is the actual Head of State...) No, this was British Prime Minister David Cameron and the Prez in a lovefest of words for each other. Articles read that Michelle and David's "chic" wife Samantha, coordinated to both wear blue (what, are we going to prom together as BFF's??)

Evidently the Prez also included more than three dozen of his top re-election campaign financiers as guests - Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, media mogul Fred Eychaner, Pfizer executive Sally Susman, Stoneyfield Farms president and CEO Gary Hirschberg, and Microsoft executives Suzi Levine and John Frank. Several have each raised more than half a million dollars for 2012 according to estimates provided by Obama's campaign.

Also reported was that 41 of the 364 attendees were Obama campaign "bundlers" (volunteer fundraisers who give the legal maximum and then gather checks from friends and others who do as well.) And then, the 'piece de resistance' - George Clooney. That decision was a win/win for the Prez, since he's a top A-lister in Hollywood AND a 'good' liberal Democrat, testifying this week for Sudan. All reports say the dinner was very expensive, adding that for the first time ever, the White House wouldn't release the types of wine served for fear of criticism.

So I guess this was the Prez's way of saying thank you--

only it's "We the People" who are paying for it...
