that Paul Ryan was at that inauguration night gathering of ReTHUGs plotting to sabotage the Obama administration.

The 15 Republicans were in a sombre mood as they gathered at the Caucus Room in Washington, an upscale restaurant where a New York strip steak costs $51.

Attending the dinner were House members Eric Cantor, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra, Dan Lungren, Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan and Pete Sessions. From the Senate were Tom Coburn, Bob Corker, Jim DeMint, John Ensign and Jon Kyl. Others present were former House Speaker and future – and failed – presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and the Republican strategist Frank Luntz, who organised the dinner and sent out the invitations.

The dinner table was set in a square at Luntz's request so everyone could see one another and talk freely. The session lasted four hours and by the end the sombre mood had lifted: they had conceived a plan. They would take back the House in November 2010, which they did, and use it as a spear to mortally wound Obama in 2011 and take back the Senate and White House in 2012, Draper writes.

"If you act like you're the minority, you're going to stay in the minority," said Keven McCarthy, quoted by Draper. "We've gotta challenge them on every single bill and challenge them on every single campaign."

1. And they everything they said from Day One. Even had Roberts try to screw up the oath of office.

Obama made him do it again. The wingnuts claimed that he wasn't sworn in properly and thus was illegally in office. That was Day One and they never stopped.

2. I have no plan of ever forgetting that Roberts screw up

Nothing can convince me that it was not deliberate.

5. The way the right wing media seized on it? No way. Obama caught the errors, corrected and made him

Do it again when they left the stage and I watched it all on tape. He also went straight from the podium in front of the crowd and signed executive orders to do a lot of things that no one ever gave him any credit for doing, keeping his promises. Then every thing that could be done to thwart those orders, and remember the House has the power of the purse, was done to make him look as if he was incompetent, timid or lazy. With the Reich wing chorus singing a coordiated tune on all venues. They pulled a coup in 2000 and haven't given up. People need to remember what we're up against or they'll destroy the nation and a large part of the world to get what they want.

6. He did it again at the WH

I don't plan to forget any of that crap.
