WASHINGTON - President Obama will have lunch Tuesday with several TV anchors and hosts, fulfilling a White House tradition held the afternoon before giving the State of the Union address.
The annual lunch, which is off-the-record, allows the president to frame his upcoming speech before influential figures in TV news, all of whom will be leading or part of their networks’ coverage later on. While Obama will personally give anchors a sense of what he’ll outline in the address at the 12:30 p.m. lunch, White House aides have already been speaking to reporters for days — typically not for attribution — about what to expect on Tuesday night.
The anchors of all three broadcast evening newscasts — NBC’s Brian Williams, ABC’s Diane Sawyer and CBS’s Scott Pelley — will be in attendance, The Huffington Post has confirmed. Some cable hosts will also be on hand, including MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. George Stephanopoulos, co-host of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” is attending, too. (read more)
I’m just gonna make a drinking game out of this; Take a shot of Bicardi Rum when…what?
Take a shot of whiskey or rum every time he says “invest” or “investment”.
Kiss your sweetie every time he says, “fair share”.
Beat the dog every time he says, “I was wrong”.
Chances are you’ll get lucky with your sweetie and the dog will never wake up!
Looks like I’d be doin the first one (alot); Single and don’t have a pet (maybe get a rottie later on).
Here’s a score card I borrowed from Chicks On The Right:
How many minutes to blackout ya think? (I notice they don’t have “Chris” or “Kyle” on their scorecord–makes sense)
Shuffle that card a few times, and you can make BINGO out of it also.
Also, these chicks sound great.
Depends on how soon you want to be under the table.
When he lies? That’s every line.
When he proposes further “investments” and blames Republicans for something?
I don’t know, alias. Seems to me that any drinking games in the context of King Skeeter’s speeches could be an immediate threat to a person’s health, at least in the short term. It’s hard to come up with any line that wouldn’t require an immediate bottoms up.
Unless you want to flip the game and take a shot when he speaks truth, speaks with maturity, makes use of common sense, acknowledges the value of others’ points of view….’course then there’d be no game.
Being under the thumb of soft tyranny is just as un-fun as Mark Levin said it would be.
Well, I’m instead gonna go visit my dad later and help watch the kids for a bit. Get the same content from the chirrens as I would listening to Barry-boy, but without the anger buildup.
That sounds like a wonderful plan! This evening I expect to be busy with working on a birthday gift for my grand-daugher. I noticed some lint on the floor in the corner of the kitchen and need to do something about that. Enjoy the kiddos
When he says gun control. You’ll be hammered in no time.
“for the children”
well all I can say is thank goodness the strike is off and there is a Ranger game tonight
Also the rest of Westminister, and teh Preppers!!
