One of Mitt Romney’s top advisers said Saturday that President Obama’s decision to bailout Chrysler and General Motors was actually Romney’s idea.
“[Romney’s] position on the bailout was exactly what President Obama followed. I know it infuriates them to hear that,” Eric Fehrnstrom, senior adviser to the Romney campaign, said.
“The only economic success that President Obama has had is because he followed Mitt Romney’s advice.”
ChristiMTL, If I was a Republican, yuke, yuke. I would be so disappoint, so embarrass, so ashame, that Mitt Romney is the best we could do. These people have no problem with lying or twisting the truth.
What a pant load ! Obama and the big three succeeded because they went to the goverment for the loan, instead of the private sector, which is what Mittens wanted to do. As we all know, the Banks were unwilling to loan out money after the repubs crashed the economy. Mittens was wrong about Bin Laden, and he was wrong about the auto bailout. I like to see if he’s going to take credit for the ACA. The Liar.
Ugh, one of my patrons, whom I like, just came out to me as anti-Obama. Why he thought that I, a public employee in L.A. County, would be a Republican is beyond me.
Our book, Voices4Libya, has now been published and is available. Note that all proceeds other than printing costs will be donated by the authors and publisher to be split between the families of the martyred heroes and the children / orphans of the war.
Voices 4 Libya – The Book
This is a book about the Libyan Revolution of 17 February 2011. It is not a day-by-day account of the fighting, nor an analysis of military or diplomatic strategy. It is a collection of voices of ordinary people who became involved in that conflict in many different ways. These are the stories they chose to tell about how the Libyan conflict touched all their lives.
Thanks Bob! You are just amazing & I will send your message out everywhere I can. I know how much this means to you & to all you did to get the message out for Libya & the peoples voices. I wish this great success for the sake of Libyan families & children.
Dotster, it says Romney won’t be there. Also, sure is strange how that last beacon of all that is good in the world, Fox News, has Kim Kardashian AND Lindsay Lohan as guest.

Who is the Grio sending. Please have my girl there. Can’t think of here name but she covered all Trayvon Martin case on the ground for MSNBC. I was hoping Nina Turner would be there too.
Oh my I love that my sista Sandra Fluke will be there 🙂 Love her so hard. She’s amazing. But you know I cannot wait to see PBO and FLOTUS!! Guy with guitar has awesome voice and spirit.
I remember the dinner from one year ago… President Obama HUMULIATED the Donald, and then we find out a week later that POTUS releasing his birth certificate was to distract from revealing the planning of the operation that took down Osama bin Laden (at least that is MY take on how it panned out). Maybe POTUS will take a few jabs at Mitt and the Orange Weeper of the House!
Dakota we’re already watching it online from the CNN link Chips provided above. But if you prefer to watch it on TV, CSPAN starts at 6:30PM. MSNBC doesn’t start coverage until 9:30PM,
OT but sad news for Chgo Bulls–Derrick Rose—–torn ACL, out for season and maybe next and maybe career-ending. I know PBO was hoping to welcome the Bulls to the WH for the NBA championship ceremony.
When I saw President Obama on Jimmy Fallon, I thought to myself that there was no way Jimmy was not a supporter of the President, just the way he looked at him lol…major man crush.
I checked the list of the endorsements 2012 and he is on the list!….Yea Jimmy….
It’s up to 4.34 million views; 2 million watched the show! The POTUS with the mostest! Beware the Barckness Monster: he has the cool, Al Queda decimated just as he promised. We must guard the change. Just donated again to the victory fund. Remember to send whatever you can before May 1.
I find it funny how people determine what’s in for the year as in style. Like, when full lips were in. What do I do when my lips are no longer in fashion? 😀
I am here watching C-Span on my laptop and ready to blog on my iPad.
PBO to speak at 10:00 and Jimmy Fallon to follow according to c span aanouncer
I hope Kim K. Stays a long way from PBO. Do not want her to have a photo with him. She and lyndsay are to be with the Fox group.
Probably the same thing his former chief of staff went on record as thinking about the Rs, this week. Not good. I wish he’d swing over to the Dem side.
And she needs some new talking points. Geez. “Ok, so like, last year the President was funny and Seth Myers was funny..” “Who are you looking forward to seeing tonight” “What are you expecting tonight” Lord, she’s terrible. Makes me seriously respect Guilina Rancic and Ryan Seacrest.
His high school and my town’s high school are arch rivals. I saw him play as a senior (#2 was a cheerleader). He was a monster then and I could appreciate his play, even though his team beat our butts. This year the two schools took one, two in the state. He is a home-town hero and really is grounded and humble.
why do they call it ‘nerd prom’ that phrase implies that the newstrainers are somewhat intelligent, something I would never credit them with, along with credibility, honesty, dignity, etc.
%#%%$@ My brand new complete with bells and whistles top of the line computer just crashed for no good reason. I just got back up on line. What’d I miss. #tookshoetohardrive
Republican Dana Bash, I was wondering why her husband wasn’t there….I forgot for a sec that they were getting divorced…..They are both awful anyway….RW hacks.
It’s kinda funny how the TOD audience has already taken its front row seat and is already warming up! I feel a wee bit jealous as I’m on my way out, but I’m also encouraged know ing that as soon as I return I can sign on and pick up the pieces. Have fun you all and I’ll catch you later! VC
She was my hero on Friday. She read fat (I’m not one to speak ill of someone’s physical appearance but he deserves it) boy Haley Babor his rights. He used the GOP talking points about President Obama and she threw them back in his face and he couldn’t do anything but change the subject. He even tried to bash Elie Wiesel, saying he was talking about Romney’s Mormonism, which is a bald face LIE! Mrs. Greenspan didn’t let that lie stand, she got him. I was proud of her, too.
Does anyone know who the tall blonde lady from a few minutes ago was. I’m assuming she’s someone as camera staid on her for a few, then she walked to side (maybe cameras) for a short while. She kept having issues walking in her dress, and I wondered if she’d had a couple too many a first
I totally love the people who just walk past the cameras on into the event instead of stopping to talk to everyone down the line like they are actually important or something (cough) Goldie (/cough).
I’m watching on C-Span. They already have an EM team there with a stretcher. Sounds like there are protesters out there too. I had regular CNN on and had to turn it off, Wolfie is a droan. Half these guests don’t know what to do when they come in. It’s relly funny watching them.
thanks Chips for all you do here. I have been a little lax in commenting, but have on twitter. Are there going to be any tweeters tonight?
Thank you, love. She looks good. I like Terry Moran; he was the second reporter (I think Tim Russert was first) to see then Senator Obama as President Obama. His segment on Nightline when then Senator Obama campaigned for former Congressman Ford was a brilliant piece of material. 🙂
thanks, though I must say, I had to get real creative to think about what some of those folks would say. Check that…with most of them I just did a mental….uh, er, um, ok then.
great KW says she’s happy to be there sort of representing team ABC, she has complete confidence in Jimmy Kimmel. I don’ blame him for being nervous! Remember poor Leno, who went after PBO. I know people were no expecting him to be that funny, he had good delivery, and he and his team had good jokes. He kinda stole all of Leno’s thunder. Hey, he should have brought his A game, cause the president did!
Hi guys, I’m just logging on. Did anybody see Jay (Clark Kent) Carney and his wife Claire Shipman yet? They are such a cute couple. I’ll be so bummed if I missed them.
was tha Charleze in the black lace mermaid style dress? She did not have time to talk to any of these idiots. The cameraman loved her though and followed her for a bit. I’m not wearing my glasses, and am near my desk top.
Anyone else have escalator phobia—–or am I just an odd duck? Don’t answer. I can only go on the narrow ones where I can hang on for dear life on both sides—–not the wider ones. I have gotten a lot of exercise trying to avoid Bad Scary Escalators.
dotster I didn’t when I was young.. but the last 10 yrs- I can’t go on escalators.. I literally feel like I’m falling.. can’t do heights at all anymore. Used to love the escalator when I was a kid.
Oh, so it’s raining in DC…..did Mitt melt? Did The Helmet make it in ok? Why does Lindsey Lohan have to bring her lawyer? Isn’t she free to walk around the cabin yet?
Soooooo did I just hear the cnn guy say Santorum is there, because his kids wanted to be there. Uhmmmmmmmm??????It could be for the hollywood crowd, or could it be because of the “cool guy” in the whitehouse, ya know the President Barack Oabama.
Got back in time to watch WHCD only to learn it’s not really starting until 10ish tonight. Bummer.
Checking out the CSPAN link. What’s with the circus music. Think there’s a subliminal message to their choice of music. Coulda played, Bring in the Clowns.
Just finished catching up on all your descriptions. Have me hooting….gonna be a long and crazy night…
Maybe while I wait I’ll reaquaint myself with last years presentation because watching ‘the Donald’ aka ‘Carnival Barker’ get creamed never gets old
Obama White House.gov
The Obama Diary 
Yo!
Congrats GGail!!!
BAHAHAHAHA..Thus disproving the perception that wearing glasses make you smart. Blitz!!!!
LOL! What a nice first prize! Best.First.Prize.Evah. I’m jealous! LMAO!
😆
Thanks Chipsticks – the prize every girl here dreams of……oh wait……that’s “wet POTUS” 🙂
BTW – Wolfe just said “hello” to all of his world-wide viewers!
Aw, was that a special hello to us??? 😆
Yes, Chipsticks – he gave a special wink – just for YOU!
Ah, as I suspected! Hiya GGail 😉
Hiya Chipsticks! And thanks for once again, providing the best forum for us to watch the WHCD. YOU’RE AWESOME 🙂
ist
Okay…I concede. Congratulations to GGail and LOL for a campaign well ran. I’d like to thank my campaign manager, staff, …
It’s all good hopefruit 🙂
Foiled again….
FIRST!
I’m getting sooooo excited! And now Wolf Blitzer too!!!! Be still my beating heart….
Where is Blitzer – on CNN televised or livestreamed?
I’m currently watching the Red Carpet on CNN TV online.
Oh yes I’ve been watching their livestream..from Chip’s link at the top.
I had to go check the article
One of Mitt Romney’s top advisers said Saturday that President Obama’s decision to bailout Chrysler and General Motors was actually Romney’s idea.
“[Romney’s] position on the bailout was exactly what President Obama followed. I know it infuriates them to hear that,” Eric Fehrnstrom, senior adviser to the Romney campaign, said.
“The only economic success that President Obama has had is because he followed Mitt Romney’s advice.”
I don’t even know what to say.
Wow…just wow,….
There’s video. That’s ‘nuf!
And for all tweeters, remind them that everything PBO is successful for must be a white man’s idea !!
ChristiMTL, If I was a Republican, yuke, yuke. I would be so disappoint, so embarrass, so ashame, that Mitt Romney is the best we could do. These people have no problem with lying or twisting the truth.

Villaragosa is on one of the Sunday Shows!
He is cool!
maybe an opportunity for you to if not change his mind to at least open it.
One hundred and ninty seventh.
😆
For that you get:
Hey, it’s a sliding scale!
Oh, God…….come on Chips……this was just evil incarnate.

Thanks Bob for letting us know Voices 4 Libya is now available. I ordered my copy.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/la-pn-previewing-the-white-house-correspondents-dinner-20120428,0,6507448.story
Dotster, it says Romney won’t be there. Also, sure is strange how that last beacon of all that is good in the world, Fox News, has Kim Kardashian AND Lindsay Lohan as guest.
Greta Van Susteran invited them!
I read earlier that Mittens was going to be there—guess he can’t take the heat
I don’t see anybody from MSNBC on the guest list.
Saw Al Sharpton!
I wonder if Sarah Palin was there crashing the partyies and grabbing up gift bags
I just checked the guests list….as usual, I can’t stand half of these people…..can’t stand is an understatement….like Reince Priebus.
It goes with the territory unfortunately, President Obama has to be in the same room as these clowns.
So far EVERYONE interviewed mentioned PBO and/or FLOTUS as the people they’re most excited about seeing or hearing this evening!
Tell me —is that a real photo of Wolf baby on the game show–did he actually do that bad? HA
🙂
Ah, Chips:) Smartypants has “blamed” you for the PBO/Cory Booker pic….and posted that over there as well. I love that!

Isn’t it Jason Mraz? (“Jamie Mraz ….. he’s in”)
Well spotted you! 😳
Oh boy..I hear Tweety’s voice somewhere.
Here is Greta and her Repub friend from Hollywood…
LOL..I didn’t know Kardashian was a Repub?
LOL! Maybe not. Though she probably is after PBO said he doesn’t want his kids watching “The Kardashians.”
Maybe she is auditioning for a Pox Spews job.
She’s not…. she’s just an opportunistic talentless attention whore. Maybe that was too harsh, I just hate how accepted she is. Let’s be honest- we all know why she is “famous”. Ugh.
Dayum….that is funny, LOL.

This CNN reporter’s smile reminds me somewhat of MHP.
Me too….she is very Star Struck….
I remember the dinner from one year ago… President Obama HUMULIATED the Donald, and then we find out a week later that POTUS releasing his birth certificate was to distract from revealing the planning of the operation that took down Osama bin Laden (at least that is MY take on how it panned out).

I will never forget this BREAKING NEWS….karma was doing a happy dance that night..
**Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice Interrupted to Announce Osama bin Laden’s Death**
Me too Idon 🙂
Once I see POTUS and FLOTUS, I step. Will re-join when PBO comes on. I’m cleaning out my closets.
The only ones I want to see is President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. If they weren’t there I would not be watching the WHCD.
Hi Family!
What do you recommend…CSpan, MSNBC or something else for the nerd prom. Red carpet starts shortly.
Dakota we’re already watching it online from the CNN link Chips provided above. But if you prefer to watch it on TV, CSPAN starts at 6:30PM. MSNBC doesn’t start coverage until 9:30PM,
Thanks H2!
CNN is showing the Red Carpet already online
That loud woman on CNN livestream breathlessly asks the control room if she should grab Kim Kardashian and they said NO. BWWAHAHAAaa. Idiots.
This shouldn’t be too hard.
http://thepoliticalcarnival.net/2012/04/28/senate-democrats-planning-new-trap-putting-mitt-romney-and-gop-on-the-defensive-with-female-voters/
OT but sad news for Chgo Bulls–Derrick Rose—–torn ACL, out for season and maybe next and maybe career-ending. I know PBO was hoping to welcome the Bulls to the WH for the NBA championship ceremony.
Damn!
That is tough news for the Bulls.
When I saw President Obama on Jimmy Fallon, I thought to myself that there was no way Jimmy was not a supporter of the President, just the way he looked at him lol…major man crush.
I checked the list of the endorsements 2012 and he is on the list!….Yea Jimmy….
What a thrill for him!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Barack_Obama_presidential_campaign_endorsements,_2012
It’s up to 4.34 million views; 2 million watched the show! The POTUS with the mostest! Beware the Barckness Monster: he has the cool, Al Queda decimated just as he promised. We must guard the change. Just donated again to the victory fund. Remember to send whatever you can before May 1.
do you have the mehmney’s list of endorsers?
6:30! I can’t wait to see PO and Flotus
Is this the Academy Awards show? What happened to Lindsey Lohan’s lips? Why are these people so superficial? This hurts my head….I can’t watch.
LoL….
Oh DF – I’m laughing out loud at you!!!!!
🙂 Seriously though…Nerd Prom? This is like the HIGH SCHOOL PROM!
Lindsey’s whole face has been made over, for some reason. And I don’t get why actresses do the lip plumping thing either—–looks so fakey.
Gave her that Norma Desmond look….sucks hard, Lindsey…change it back!
I find it funny how people determine what’s in for the year as in style. Like, when full lips were in. What do I do when my lips are no longer in fashion? 😀
I want to see Daniel Day Lewis
I don’t know what you guys are watching but there’s nothing on CSpan 😦
Yikes, try here: http://www.c-span.org/WHCD/
And here: http://edition.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=4
Ahhh Thanks Chips!!!
It’s airing on CSpan now.
Yes there is. It’s on C-SPAN One and also here http://www.c-span.org/WHCD/
Gosh, that guy was loud 😀
I am here watching C-Span on my laptop and ready to blog on my iPad.
PBO to speak at 10:00 and Jimmy Fallon to follow according to c span aanouncer
I hope Kim K. Stays a long way from PBO. Do not want her to have a photo with him. She and lyndsay are to be with the Fox group.
Jimmy Kimmel….
I wish it was Fallon…he is brilliant.
Just saw Holly Robinson Pete and Elle McPherson. McPherson said such nice things about Susan Axelrod, David Axelrod’s wife.
Yes she did. She had the most intelligent comments that I’ve heard so far.
Colin Powell is on the house.
Greetings TOD fam..
i see Colin Powell…i wonder what he thinks of his Repubublican Party..
Probably the same thing his former chief of staff went on record as thinking about the Rs, this week. Not good. I wish he’d swing over to the Dem side.
he has been rather quiet….
Or if it’s too hard, atleast claim independent.
I wish. I hate having him in “their” camp.
Mary J. Blige
CNN reporter needs a muzzle…geesh what a loud mouth
And she needs some new talking points. Geez. “Ok, so like, last year the President was funny and Seth Myers was funny..” “Who are you looking forward to seeing tonight” “What are you expecting tonight” Lord, she’s terrible. Makes me seriously respect Guilina Rancic and Ryan Seacrest.
Hey! I have a lot of respect for Guiliana. Especially after her struggles with infertility and her recent struggle with breast cancer.
Yes I find her irritating. I’m going to switch to CSAPN real soon!
That CNN reporter sure is loud. I am seeing more stars than reporters.
Sigourney Weaver
” What are you wearing ” …
Yawn
But if they asked Daniel Day Lewis what he was wearing? Or George Clooney? 🙂 🙂
Interesting that some want to stop and talk to all the news outlets and some just march right on by.
Very poor quality video on c-span
AlmRoker and Debra; she looks good.
Viola Davis loks gorgeous!
Al Roker’s wife looks so young for her age! She must be at least 45 by now 🙂
Good Black don’t crack.
I am so heartbroken about Derrick being out w/ a torn ACL. So sad right now. This is our year for Title #7 😦 Hopefully he gets well soon.
Off topic what whatever. I’m a ball player and he’s my favorite.
Me too. #homie
I still have faith in my team. We can win w/o Derrick but damn it’s gonna be a challenge, but this team is special.
His high school and my town’s high school are arch rivals. I saw him play as a senior (#2 was a cheerleader). He was a monster then and I could appreciate his play, even though his team beat our butts. This year the two schools took one, two in the state. He is a home-town hero and really is grounded and humble.
I’m sure he is. I’m not from Chi but I like Derrick b/c of his nonchalant, chilled attitude. We’re a lot alike. LOL
Tim Daly! A HUGE Obamabot from Private Practice.
Why is the chick for that ABC show as still talking? Is she drunk already?
why do they call it ‘nerd prom’ that phrase implies that the newstrainers are somewhat intelligent, something I would never credit them with, along with credibility, honesty, dignity, etc.
The CNN Live Feed actually says “The Nerd Prom” Wow, just wow…
I wonder if John King will show up…….just saw Dana Bash.
these newstrainers are such losers!!! hahahhahahahahhahhaha!!
%#%%$@ My brand new complete with bells and whistles top of the line computer just crashed for no good reason. I just got back up on line. What’d I miss. #tookshoetohardrive
John Legend !! A White House favorite.
Rev.,Al is in the house
Goldie Hawn
piers Morgsn, ugh
oh gross. Piers Dumbass Morgan. Yuk!!!
Republican Dana Bash, I was wondering why her husband wasn’t there….I forgot for a sec that they were getting divorced…..They are both awful anyway….RW hacks.
It’s kinda funny how the TOD audience has already taken its front row seat and is already warming up! I feel a wee bit jealous as I’m on my way out, but I’m also encouraged know ing that as soon as I return I can sign on and pick up the pieces. Have fun you all and I’ll catch you later! VC
Goldie Hawn with that cnn guy, whats his name pearce?
oh dear….I thought that was his wife
Piers Morgan and wife….she reminds if of Goldie Hawn a little…
I thought it was Goldie.
I guess it is…..
It was Goldie—she’s a guest of CNN.
it is Goldie. I think that’s his guest
Diane Keaton does not seem to know thatnthe Annie Hall look is long past.
It is (and I am) so old I forgot it was even called the Annie Hall look.
i did not see REv
eeewwww!!! Andrea Greenspan!! Yuk!!! Yuk!!!!
She was my hero on Friday. She read fat (I’m not one to speak ill of someone’s physical appearance but he deserves it) boy Haley Babor his rights. He used the GOP talking points about President Obama and she threw them back in his face and he couldn’t do anything but change the subject. He even tried to bash Elie Wiesel, saying he was talking about Romney’s Mormonism, which is a bald face LIE! Mrs. Greenspan didn’t let that lie stand, she got him. I was proud of her, too.
Andrea Mitchell “hits on” Diane Keaton. Wonder if Diane knows who she is – Ha!
Diane Keaton with her hat…..she probably has gloves on as usual…..
Diane Keaton is dressed like an English Lord. John Legend!!!!!!!
awwwww!!! John Legend’s girlfriend is beautiful!!
i did not kids came to the dinner
add “know” to that
I’m on CSPAN, just saw Andrea Mitchell without her apologetic hubby. Must be past his bedtime.
I’m sure she gave him his meds before she came out, dontcha think?
hahahhahhahahahhahhahhahhahahhahahhahhahahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahhhahahhahhahahaha!!!!
ROTFL
HAHAHAHAHA! It’s gonna be a GREAT TIME on TOD folks 😆
That photo is hysterical, Chips!
Goldie Hawn just pulled her white fur shawl thingy down lower as she approached the media.
Viola Davis!
I’m sure Piers Morgan is asking the journalists if they are disappointed with President Obama….
I think he asked the doorman on the way in.
ha !…he is pathetic.
Viola Davis is saying such nice things about FLOTUS. Says she attended an #Obama2012 fundraiser and FLOTUS was wonderful and so kind.
ut ohhh…stretcher…and paramedics
The EMTs are here. What happened?
who collapsed. I see paramedics walking the red carpet
I hope they are ok. Has anyone seen Desire Rogers who use to work for PBO?
Hmmmmm—-just saw that—–but they didn’t seem to be in ultra-fast emergency mode.
Hope the arrival of the EMTs isn’t anything abnormal.
Eva Longoria looks beautiful!
Always. Bet she HAD to say that she likes what Politico writes:)
Our girl Eva looks fantastic. Love her.
Beautiful Obama supporter Eva Longoria; Reese Witherspoon, very pg.
Does Piers Morgan have THAT much to say..
HAHA! Reese Witherspoon walked right past the press. Smart lady. I’m sure they’ll write something ugly about her in Politico tomorrow.
So did Rosario Dawson…
Do these people realize that we can hear them?
I don’t think so.
c-span’s feed is shitty.
I know. But my computer feed is worse.
Does anyone know who the tall blonde lady from a few minutes ago was. I’m assuming she’s someone as camera staid on her for a few, then she walked to side (maybe cameras) for a short while. She kept having issues walking in her dress, and I wondered if she’d had a couple too many a first
I totally love the people who just walk past the cameras on into the event instead of stopping to talk to everyone down the line like they are actually important or something (cough) Goldie (/cough).
I’m watching on C-Span. They already have an EM team there with a stretcher. Sounds like there are protesters out there too. I had regular CNN on and had to turn it off, Wolfie is a droan. Half these guests don’t know what to do when they come in. It’s relly funny watching them.
thanks Chips for all you do here. I have been a little lax in commenting, but have on twitter. Are there going to be any tweeters tonight?
Harvey Weinstein….
Candy Crawlie has arrived. Hide the candy.
Snark Knoller look-a-like on the escalator.
Knoller needing full width of escalator—-he’s enormous!
Damnn, Mark Knoller is a real porker!
No wonder he is such a miserable person.
I recognized his stomach first.
Oh, darn, I bullied him yesterday and I think I’d better stop.
spoted knoller coming down escalator
Gingrich and Calista
Mankini and Helmet Hair just walked on by….
Newt !!!!!!…gawd he has balls…..
Mankini & scary wife just walked in!
OMG!!! WEye of Newt and The Joker just crawled in!!!!!!!!!! jhahahhahahaha
Newt….and Callista….I’m not saying a WORD!
Mankini and Helmet Hair have arrived, fresh from the zoo!
lol… now you already cracked me up.. perfect description.
Tell me please, what is all the yelling.. is that “reporters” yelling at the guests coming in?
I hope they sit them in the back, in the dark corner, near the kitchen.
LOLz!!!!!!!
ewww Gingrich.
kate and Goldie got invited!! how sweet!!!
Eva Longoria is saying such wonderful things about PBO and Obama 2012. She’s a great surrogate. Just saw Harvey Weinstein a wonderful Obamabot.
Kate Hudson has always reminded me of a white version of J-Lo. They look so much alike.
god they were screaming for Kate Hudson so vigorously on the cnn feed they sounded violent.
That’s why someone thinks there’s a protest outside 🙂
They sound like jr. high kids screaming for Bieber.
Terry Moran and that lady from ABC. Are they married to each other? Dating?
That is Cynthia McFadden.
Thank you, love. She looks good. I like Terry Moran; he was the second reporter (I think Tim Russert was first) to see then Senator Obama as President Obama. His segment on Nightline when then Senator Obama campaigned for former Congressman Ford was a brilliant piece of material. 🙂
Is that Kerry Washington with the pony tail.
Kerri Washington in da house!!!!
The great Olivia Pope!!
Scandal is Jammin’! I Love her!
The gorgeous Kerry Washington.
I’d love if you could talk to Kerry Washington too cnn lady
I didn’t know Mark Knoller is so big.
I see Kerry Washington. Another wonderful surrogate for Obama 2012. She looks gorgeous!
Guy with matching bow tie and umbrella arrives. Thinks he’s cool.
Hey, lady with brown fur cape and pink and gray jumpsuit: doesn’t work.
Kerry looks great. I love “Scandal.”
I never knew that it was possible for so many men to look bad in a tux
Another reason those losers hate POTUS.
where y’all watching this? I have on CSPAN, but there’s no commentary. I’m having to make up what I think they’re saying in my head.
I’m here but I think they’re about to wrap up:
http://edition.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=4
I’ll go with your version.
thanks, though I must say, I had to get real creative to think about what some of those folks would say. Check that…with most of them I just did a mental….uh, er, um, ok then.
🙂
Mark Knoller is huge. I mean huge. Morbidly huge. WTF?
How did I miss him? miss him
Consider it a blessing.
Yes, It’s hard to miss that when he sits in the front row of the daily press briefings.
Now I know you’re Snark. I’m probably the last one.
don’t forget the ashes. Nothing like sackcloth and ashes.
This sideline entertainment is hilarious!!!!! ROFL!!
great KW says she’s happy to be there sort of representing team ABC, she has complete confidence in Jimmy Kimmel. I don’ blame him for being nervous! Remember poor Leno, who went after PBO. I know people were no expecting him to be that funny, he had good delivery, and he and his team had good jokes. He kinda stole all of Leno’s thunder. Hey, he should have brought his A game, cause the president did!
I see Coward Fineman coming down the escalator.
So then everybody else is going back up?
Was he with his ” Sources ” ?
Ha!
Okay, so am I reading this correctly, the program itself doesn’t begin until 9:40 Eastern?
Yea, it will go offline while everyone eats, then come back on for the entertainment.
So funny that so many people are blowing off that CNN woman. Heh.
meta, I thought the same thing. I am now watching c-span. CNN was getting depressing.
Hi guys, I’m just logging on. Did anybody see Jay (Clark Kent) Carney and his wife Claire Shipman yet? They are such a cute couple. I’ll be so bummed if I missed them.
I did not see any WH folks, maybe they’re sneaking in the back door. Oh cspan is showing inside now. I spy the face the nation guy.
What a difference a year makes! Any terrorists left on PBO’s list that should be feeling skurred tonight? 😆
Be back in a bit…
So, so waiting for FLOTUS’ arrival, to show up everybody in the place, per usual 😀
Charlize Theron’s dress is hot!
SNARK!!!!!! Ya killin me!!!!!!
hahahhahhahahhahhhahahhahahhahahha!!!!!!! Oh Chips!!! You are sooooooooo baaaad!!!! Rock Hudson!!! What a sexy beast he was!! Yum yum!!! 😆
OMG! Best tweet ever.
😕
Heheeee!
Just saw Charlize Theron and Zooey Deschanel
was tha Charleze in the black lace mermaid style dress? She did not have time to talk to any of these idiots. The cameraman loved her though and followed her for a bit. I’m not wearing my glasses, and am near my desk top.
Yes.
cpsan is givng an explanation of the goings on….i like that
Me too.
Anyone else have escalator phobia—–or am I just an odd duck? Don’t answer. I can only go on the narrow ones where I can hang on for dear life on both sides—–not the wider ones. I have gotten a lot of exercise trying to avoid Bad Scary Escalators.
love, love the escalator. but it took some time for me to get used to it. Now, easy peasy!!
LOL !
dotster I didn’t when I was young.. but the last 10 yrs- I can’t go on escalators.. I literally feel like I’m falling.. can’t do heights at all anymore. Used to love the escalator when I was a kid.
Sam Kass is there!!!!
ewww…just saw Rinse PreWash….who invited him ?
Oh, so it’s raining in DC…..did Mitt melt? Did The Helmet make it in ok? Why does Lindsey Lohan have to bring her lawyer? Isn’t she free to walk around the cabin yet?
Yeah that threw me too.. Lohan in tow w/ lawyer, lol.
Tamron Hall looks gorgeous
yes she does…love love that dress
Ok, I finally had enough of that woman on CNN and switched to C-SPAN
hahahahaha…so did i
Soooooo did I just hear the cnn guy say Santorum is there, because his kids wanted to be there. Uhmmmmmmmm??????It could be for the hollywood crowd, or could it be because of the “cool guy” in the whitehouse, ya know the President Barack Oabama.
Well if Mankini is there….it would not surprise me….
Tom Joyner and Rev. Al are in the ballroom.
Rev. Al and Tom Joyner!
Looks like CNN is showing the floor…..
Ted Turner weeps.
jindal
Erkel….yuk
Gag!
Eww…..Frothy Santorum.
Rev Al and Tom Joyner. Awesome!!!!!
Wonder why msnbc did not invite any guests—–or did they? They seem to be the only news outlet who didn’t.
So any idea when the First Couple will do their entrance? Not the actual speaking, but the entry?
Is that Santorum…lawd…
Ricky the Sweater Vest is there……
One last chance to see Lil Ricky——ewwwwwww.
Ugh ! Little Ricky is there and also Bobby Jindall. They let anyone in don’t they.
Ceb, just posted the same thing.. I didn’t know they attended “celebrity events”.
Just saw Santorum (who invited him)
New post everyone:
http://theobamadiary.com/2012/04/28/more-from-the-whc-dinner/
I see he Sanorums inside, jus took a pic with a japanese couple, woman wearing a traditional dress with band. Ugh who’d want his ughly mug?
It’s a disgrace that sworn enemies of any president, would appear in the same room with a sitting president, IMO. Especially with my President.
yep, after Gingrich’s ‘secret’ inauguration day meeting.. he ought not be allowed anywhere near our POTUS.
Wonder what’s wrong with that girl who wanted her pic taken with Ricky. Something bad, no doubt.
New post already up guys
There’s Santorum
Ha, Piers and Goldie do not appear to be a match made in heaven…
Evening all.
Got back in time to watch WHCD only to learn it’s not really starting until 10ish tonight. Bummer.
Checking out the CSPAN link. What’s with the circus music. Think there’s a subliminal message to their choice of music. Coulda played, Bring in the Clowns.
Just finished catching up on all your descriptions. Have me hooting….gonna be a long and crazy night…
Maybe while I wait I’ll reaquaint myself with last years presentation because watching ‘the Donald’ aka ‘Carnival Barker’ get creamed never gets old
Love Jason Mraz. Love.
