Obama’s Coffee Klatch: No Conservatives Allowed

President Barack Obama has drawn criticism for inviting an all-star list of liberal and progressive media people — including three MSNBC hosts — but no conservative voices for a chat over coffee at the White House.

Tim Graham, director of media at the Media Research Center, observed: “In the Bush years, it was considered a major scandal for [Fox News chief] Roger Ailes to send a note to the White House, but MSNBC stars meet with Obama, and it’s just another day of ‘hope and change.’”

Chris Tapper of ABC News reported the Dec. 19 meeting in the Roosevelt Room: “The group chatted with the president about economic messaging, his agenda for 2012, the various campaign arguments against different GOP candidates, the desire among some Democrats for him to highlight his foreign policy accomplishments, fighting corporate influence and the ‘crappiness’ of the Senate filibuster, as one attendee put it.”

Those in attendance included Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes of MSNBC, Frank Bruni of The New York Times, Nation magazine editor Katrina vanden Heuvel, Ezra Klein and Greg Sargent of The Washington Post, Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post, Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo, Faiz Shakir of ThinkProgress, and Joy-Ann Reid of The Reid Report.

It was just a strategy  meeting for his re-election campaign. You know, just the closest insiders invited to attend.

Which was why the talking empty heads from MSNBC were there.  The ReichsMessiah's Ministry of Troof needed to get the playbook for burying anything rational and coherent any opponent of Teh Won might say (or anything especially irrational and incoherent spewing forth from the mouth of Big Brotha).  I got the mortgage payment that says the other attendees were SCIU union thugs, ACORN vote fraud experts, and Ron Paul.

What is amusing to me?  That two-thirds of the American populace has never heard of these liberal buttlicking buddies of Zer0 and 90% of those who have, think they're as full of shit as a Christmas goose right before the axe descends.

Now, now, Mr. Wiggum, I'm sure both Little League and T-Ball Toddlers must have all-stars.
