Super Bowl bet: What will the thermostat temp be at the White House party?

Super Bowl bet: What will the thermostat temp be at the White House party?

75 degrees? 76? 77? And will there be nachos and beer…or more wagyu steak and cocktails? How about some Snuggies?

Inquiring minds want to know:

Sure, it’s all about bipartisanship. Not to mention the perks of watching the Super Bowl at the White House with the first fan playing host.

President Barack Obama is inviting a group of lawmakers — some Republicans, many Democrats, and a few from Pennsylvania and Arizona — to join him for Sunday’s championship game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals.

With no Chicago team for Obama to cheer, the president said he’s rooting for Pittsburgh against the “long-suffering” and “great Cinderella story” Cardinals, and he wished the Cardinals the best.

Steelers owner Dan Rooney, a longtime Republican, endorsed Obama’s presidential bid and campaigned for him. Obama also noted that Franco Harris, one of the most beloved former Steelers, campaigned for him in Pittsburgh, too.

Five of the 15 lawmakers invited to join Obama are from Pennsylvania, and two are from Arizona. There are four senators and 11 representatives. The group includes 11 Democrats, four Republicans and three women.

    Fair enough. I deserve your comment, though I certainly don’t think I was being particularly nasty to you.

    I didn’t say or even imply that you were, and I don’t think I was being particularly nasty to you, either, but to paraphrase what you have said on previous occasions, you can see whatever you want in it. I tend to look for a telling riposte, frequently even biting, but I try to avoid nasty.

    On the other hand, when you offer rebuttal, you should probably recheck your understanding of the facts first.

    LGM do you ever get tired of looking so ignorant?

    Apparently not.

    My mother spoke with our cousins in Western KY. She was supposedly lucky to get through because not even cell phones are working reliably. They are making out OK because they have a fireplace. They have a generator, but no gas – so after a few days, when they could make it out, they had to drive to TN to get some.

    I wonder if McConnell is cowtowing because The One is promising special Federal aid to Kentucky….
