Obama Dines With Conservative Opinion Leaders

13 Jan 2009 07:01 pm


It's true.

He motorcaded to a house in Maryland this evening, and if the press pool report is accurate, he is breaking bread with William Kristol and David Brooks. (If Brooks and Kristol seem to be unusually briefed about Obama's thinking, you'll know why.)

CBS News's Dan Raviv tells the pool that the house, on Grafton Street in Chevy Chase, belongs to George Will. (Unless he's moved.)

Tomorrow, I hear Obama has another private meeting with non-Republican opinion columnists.

Ellen Moran, the incoming White House communications director, set these meetings up.

Again -- establishment opinion matters to the Obama communications team.

1. What an appetite killer!

2. Oh Christ... if he's meeting Kristol then Palin will be Commerce Secretary

Kristol is very good at convincing people to pick Palin for things.

:eyes:

4. Bwhahaha! Yea, I'm sure that's going to happen, but thanks for the laugh. nt

18. I'm thinking Kristol sabotaged McCain. Why else would he pick Palin?

He did us a big favor. :rofl:

3. Rahm Emanuel is his food taster. n/t

[Cha]

5. I have a positive opinion

on this. Good Luck Obama with what you're trying to do.

6. ew

That's like a bad dream....having dinner with Kristol and Brooks, at George Will's house. He should tell them all to stop lying about FDR.

7. i bet Kristol talks with food in his gaping maw and Brooks uses the wrong fork.

[DevonRex]

12. And I bet bits fall out of his mouth, just like *.

[AlCzervik]

13. yup, i hope someone brought a spit shield.

[DevonRex]

14. That's my biggest pet peeve, folks eating with their mouths open

and OMG if stuff falls out it turns my stomach.

So I hope nobody has to look at him. Ewwww.

[AlCzervik]

17. yah for real, whenever i'm eating with someone that does that i always say

"Cheeseburger with onions" or whatever is on their plate but currently in their open mouth and then the look of puzzlement comes over their face and i saw "We're playing guess what i'm eating right?"

[Jennicut]

8. He can talk with them and then make fun of them behind their backs

[ErinBerin84]

9. Or Obama can make fun of Sarah Palin with Brooks and Will

to piss off Kristol, hehe.

[janx]

10. This is good news. n/t

[donco6]

11. Fine with me.

Is he going to ask one to write his speeches? Then I'll worry.

15. Right-wing sites are hinting that Rush Limbaugh was present

[ErinBerin84]

16. I very much doubt he was there

Though, Charles Krauthammer was supposedly in attendance, along with the others mentioned. Ugh.
