First he takes heat for not letting women play in his pickup basketball games, and now this. Republicans are claiming that President Obama is using the White House bowling alley like the Lincoln bedroom. Kinky? Sorry, no.
Critics are saying that if you donate mucho bucks to the Democrats, Obama will let you roll free games in the bowling alley at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Does this include video game tokens and free pizza? The answer is unclear.
Oh politics, how can we not love you?
Chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele, bowling average unknown, called on the administration to immediately release the names of such donors. The White House is denying any such quid pro quo, saying the whole thing “doesn’t make a lot of sense.”
The Washington Times reported that at least 39 Democratic donors and fund-raisers attended a reception at the White House on St. Patrick’s Day and a party to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. The newspaper also said that one donor was treated to a birthday visit to the Oval Office, another used the bowling alley in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, and others watched movies in the White House theater.
(Washington Times: Democratic donors can also try for prizes with the claw vending machine. Ooh, I’m going to go for the rider on health care legislation!)

Sting isn’t a religious man, but he says President Barack Obama might be a divine answer to the world’s problems. “In many ways, he’s sent from God.,”
And yes, the rest of Europe loves him also because they want our country to be just like they are. No autonomy and subservient to world law. Pretty soon our Constitution will be moot.
If by normal “gemma barnes” you mean post-American and pro-European Socialist not to mention adherent to Maoist/Marxist philosophy, then you are assuredly correct.
“If a Nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization,
it expects what never was and never will be….
If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free,
it is the responsibility of every American to be informed.”
Thomas Jefferson
Get informed and don’t be afraid to question the people that work for you, i.e. the politicians who assume that you’ll trust and believe what they say.
Maybe too much info and opinion in this post, but I’m feeling good at the moment because Brooks’ beloved University of Spoiled Children Prophylactics are getting destroyed, nay demolished. Ha!Ha!Ha!
