He really is desperate. Barack Obama met with leftie bloggers today in the White House.
Obviously, there was no drug test.
Jake Tapper posted a group shot. What’s with the one dude’s sleeve?
The Huffington Post reported:
President Barack Obama has gone on a veritable media blitz as the election has approached, speaking to reporters in off-record settings, doing sit-down interviews with traditional (National Journal) and alternative (Rolling Stone) publications, and appearing on radio programs with varying audiences (Al Sharpton and Michael Smerconish’s shows just this week).
The reach extends deep into the entrails of the new media world as well. On Wednesday, the president conducted what appears to be the first ever in-person sit-down with political bloggers, hosting a group of five in the White House.
The invitees fall more under the rubric of ideological or issue-oriented activists as opposed to online reporters, though the names are familiar to most political junkies. An administration official confirmed that Joe Sudbay of AMERICABlog; Duncan Black (“Atrios”), who runs the site Eschaton; Barbara Morrill, who writes for the DailyKos; Jon Amato, who edits Crooks and Liars; and Oliver Willis, who runs an eponymous site, spoke with the president on Wednesday.
They, no doubt, talked about the issues important to Americans today… Michelle Malkin, gay rights, Breitbart, O’Keefe, DADT, socialism and Michelle Obama’s toned arms.
More… The Wolf added:
This group of bloggers finally found someone more leftist than themselves.
Agreed.

Michelle’s toned arms?? What about that great big kaboose of hers?? She looks like two VW Beetles try to pass each other…
Petrakore commented:
Does this mean that when he gets really, really, really desperate they’ll all get invited for a flight on Air Force One? Or just sit in Air Force One on the tarmac?
pamlinson commented:
Send in the clowns.

What next….?
Obama happy meals at McDonald’s ?

Reaganite Republican commented:
There’s a group of advisers that can put him on a sensible track that appeals to a majority of Americans
LOLOL
Steve S. commented:
Talking to these people won’t help get any more votes. The independent voters don’t read these people. Only the die-hard democrats who were already going to vote do.

patman commented:
The friends you keep are a reflection on who you are as a person.
On another note: Obama says he doesn’t follow the news or web postings… Another lie.
You lie, Obama. You LIE!
gus commented:
Yes and the nasty nasty Republican bloggers tried to BLOCK them from going.
Isn’t that the current meme.
Edouard commented:
Must be nice for these bloggers to get a swell trip to the White House while at the same time having entirely no ability or clue as to how to swing non-Leftie voters to the Left.
Nobody pays attention to those jokers except the already-committed drinkers of the Obamatown koolaid.
A complete waste of the White House’s time and efforts.
Mike O commented:
Of course, no drug test. Hey, the President might have to face one if the bloggers had to. (It would explain a LOT about his policies if he’d gone back to the previously admitted habits of his youth… and what would stop him?)
Quilly Mammoth commented:
“who edits Crooks and Liars; and Oliver Willis, who Both run
saneponymous sites,”There, fixed it.
Granny commented:
I have to tell you, it really REALLY pisses me off that the sitting “president” plays partisan politics like this. If he is going to host bloggers, he should host ALL bloggers because we ALL pay him!
zipity commented:
Wow….Ollie should get in touch with Jarrod at Subway©. His suit looks like it could provide enough material for a tent to house a Haitian family of 6…
Scott commented:
He’s doing interviews with Jon Stewart and Rolling Stone, and he’s spending nearly an hour with left wing bloggers.
He’s doing what’s best for the 20% of the country who call themselves liberal. Screw the other 80%.
Douglas (Watkins) commented:
“Send in the clowns.” There already here.
BuddyG commented:
Birds of a feather . . .
Kevin P commented:
hmmmm – lefty bloggers, huh? Do they still exist?
The reason I ask is, I haven’t seen many trolls lately… are they all too discouraged to even troll any more? Did they realize they need to spend all those hours looking for real jobs?
Seriously – I haven’t run across ole’ Chkn Fryd for awhile… have any of you noticed the absence of trolls lately?
Dave-O commented:
I’m sorry to have to say this, but that Barbara Morrill (sp?) looks like she fell outta the tallest ugly tree in the entire forest and hit every branch on the way down. Where does the Left keep coming up with these?
Kevin P commented:
looking at that picture brought the tune of “We’re on the island of misfit toys…” (from the Christmas classic Rudolf) to mind.
garrettc commented:
“…deep in the entrails…? Who wrote that?
daryl commented:
And if you don’t score big in the treats sack Halloween night you can have them for breakfast next morning.
Altogether now children…. Thank you, President Obama!!

OMG…Look at how the guy on the left wears his suit ! They sent some military honorary award family home for violating dress protocol and they let these slovenly dressed people inside the White house? Wear a bra lady you are sagging! All the mens suits look hastily pulled off the rack at Good Will. They should have just gone in their regular pajama pants..you know the baby boy blue felt ones with the neon yellow Sponge Bob print.

Got this on the 16th -
“…So next week, just 11 days before the elections, I want to meet three supporters like you backstage at a rally in Las Vegas — one of the last big rallies of this campaign.
Please make a $3 donation now to be automatically entered to win a trip to be at my side at the rally in Vegas.
This movement has always been about more than me. It’s about change, and the kind of future we envision for this country.
…
Please donate $3 or more to be automatically entered to win a trip to Las Vegas to meet me backstage:
http://my.democrats.org/Backstage
I hope to see you out there,
President Barack Obama”
Got this yesterday -
“Democrats are running the most ambitious get-out-the-vote program ever attempted in an election like this. Every dollar you can give today will be put right to work to get our message out, to provide the tools our volunteers need.
And every donation will be doubled because it will be matched by another supporter who is giving what he or she can afford.
Will you donate $3 today — and fund the final push? … http://my.democrats.org/FiredUp”
Sometime last year, we accepted an email invite from these folks and have been rec’ving request for financial support since. The one from VP Biden is particularly comical.
Anybody with a hankerin’ for some funny, funny stuff needs just holler and I’ll send a link to the complete solicitations.
Yes, they are desperate. Frantically so.
pm commented:
So Barry says a little donation will automatically enter you to win a trip to Las Vegas – and to meet him backstage…
Watch it, boys and girls.
That’ll most likely be a bus ride (you’ll be in the front, of course) — but don’t expect him to stick around backstage.
Most likely, you’ll be told he took off to get home to be with Michelle and the girls.
If $7,500 couldn’t get him to honor his word, what do you think your measely 3 bucks are gonna get you?
Egad, you guys are slow.

One word comes to mind when looking at this photo–LAME!
sandy commented:
Looks like there’s going to be a Tea-nami.
Gallup’s recent tracking of the generic ballot for Congress has shown the Republicans with substantial leads over the Democrats among likely voters, in part because the underlying registered voter population leans Republican in its vote choice. Compared with previous elections, that tilt is an extraordinary positioning for the Republicans, who typically do no better than tie the Democrats among registered voters. The GOP’s position is further enhanced by the generally strong proclivity of Republicans to turn out to vote, which appears to be even greater than usual this year.

“Please donate $3 or more to be automatically entered to win a trip to Las Vegas to meet me backstage..” seems just like yesterday that obama kneecapped vegas. didn’t he chase away business hence the loss of jobs/income?

Militant Conservative commented:
Guy on left is a small geek with a heavy bag on something that could have been a shoulder.
Kevin p. Yes I have. Noticed a sharp decrease in the opposition. I think they are very vocal but very thin. Powder is dry
Lightwave commented:
Here’s an example of a hard hitting question from that interview:
“How are you going to get Democrats to understand that compromise means the other side has to give something sometimes, one day?”
The funny part is nobody in the room believes that, because they are terrified of what happens to them on Wednesday morning when we make it abundantly clear this country will never tolerate liberals again.
befuddled commented:
for a $1200 donation, you can be entered into a raffle to hang out and party in the actual situation room with New Jersey’s The Situation; plus, you get to hold the nuclear football for the entire day while obama is out golfing.
Brendon Carr commented:
Now there is a collection of sad sacks who rarely put on a suit. Good lord, those suits are ill-fitting.
S. Wolf commented:
Crooks and Liars sums up the Democraps.. and Zero’s agenda.
‘But Obama didn’t fail. Obama succeeded. He succeeded at doing exactly what he was supposed to do. Damage the American economy in order to undermine the country’s status as a Great Power and the independence of the average American from his government. The goal of this party and this man was never to oversee an economic recovery. And why would it have been? Obama and his allies on the left believe that a prosperous economy is the root of all evil, and the chief obstacle to the people embracing a government mandate for socialism.
An economic recovery would have made 90 percent of his legislative priorities irrelevant. It would have made it impossible to take over companies in order to “save” them, run up an impossible national debt in the name of “stimulating” the very economy they were bankrupting, and use the money to promote the left’s agenda. The economy made it possible for him to do everything from trying to nationalize health care to shutting down NASA. It became a blank check crisis to be used to perpetuate the crisis in order to bring down the entire country into a more easily manageable state.
The left has always viewed the American economy as an evil, the sordid engine that turned a country of colonizers and imperialists into a great power. That is why it has gone for labor unions, not because it supported the rights of workers (worker’s rights and unions are as incompatible as Al Capone and the Better Business Bureau) but because that gave it a chokehold on the economy.
But this is not just about money, it’s about power. The power to rule over people’s lives. For all its faults, America’s booming economy allowed for class mobility and individual independence. Economic prosperity meant an expanding middle-class that didn’t need to be “saved” by the progressives anymore.
This phase of the project has hit a bump in the road. The Tea Party movement meant that a populist American response kicked in unexpectedly. That alone would not have stopped it, had it not turned out that most Americans agreed with the basic criticisms. What we’re seeing now are tantrums by political and cultural elites who had the brass ring in their grasp and are infuriated that what they consider to be “an anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes” are likely to cost them the election and their death grip on power.
They will not give up. They will do absolutely anything to carry on.
This is not merely about an idea or a set of ideas for them. It is about power. Absolute power over the lives of every man, woman and children in America– and beyond it the world. That is the hideous energy that we are fighting against. That is where our struggle lies.’
