I am going to DC this week and have a West Wing Tour!

[saracat]

I get to see the Oval office and get my pic the Press office Podium! This is going to be fun. But what we are really hoping for it to see Bo! My frirend has met every presidential dog but has yet to meet Bo! We were joking around and we told the WH folks we don't care about Obama but we really want to meet Bo! Who knows? maybe we will! LOL!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Congrats!

How did you swing that?

Take lots of pics, and be sure to share, OK?

Very cool!

:hi:

[saracat]

5. We can only take them on the portico, Rose Garden and Press Room.

But no one said we couldn't take pix of Bo! This is really cool. It is the second time ever I had to get Secret Service clearance! Yay! I passed!

[lonestarnot]

2. Have fun!

:hi:

[EFerrari]

3. Wow. I bet this is a great time of year to go to D.C.

Have a great time, saracat!

[saracat]

7. It is. And we get to go to my family's alma mater Georgetown well

and to the Smithsonian to view some of my grandmother's films . She was a silent film star and my dad donated them before we ever saw them. This is going to be a blast!

[akbacchus_BC]

4. Really, so you hate President Obama but happy to tour the West

Wing, you got nerve!

[saracat]

6. Oh please. Grow up! There are policies I do NOT like. I am still a citizen.

and I am a Democrat despite what you think.

[akbacchus_BC]

9. I have grown up. Some words do come back to bite you... Remember

"I don't care. I am going to say it. I actually hate Obama and his thug supporters! Snip ... "If he is elected I don't want to be an American". "They only care about the holy obama, they are sick". Then you went on to call us Obamites! And you get to tour the West Wing!

Good for you!

[saracat]

Funny , isn't it? So, he wasn't my primary pick. Big Whoop.

I still am fascinated by history and still am interested in the WH! What does my primary support have to do with the West Wing, or do you think anyone who supported another primary candidate shouldn't be allowed to tour?

[akbacchus_BC]

11. Knock yourself out. Hope you do not get to see President Obama!

[saracat]

14. I have already met the President. Twice.I have a picture. But I really need to meet Bo!

My friend is crazy about the Presidential dogs. They have met Buddy and Barney and now want to meet bo! Hey, all their names are "B" words! Coincidence? I, OTOH, was more enamored with Socks and the Bush's black cat! I used to tell my cats that Socks was a role model! LOL!

[akbacchus_BC]

12. BTW, your fascination about history has nothing to do with your hatred

for President Obama. The white house is yours to see!

[saracat]

15. Indeed it is! Big of you to say so!

[akbacchus_BC]

18. Sorry, have a good time visiting and let us know if you met Bo and the

President.

[saracat]

24. Thank you. It is gracious of you to say so!

[EFerrari]

17. Pssssssst, the primaries are over.

[akbacchus_BC]

19. Sorry, and I apologise!

[JohnnyLib2]

16. Well said.

We've made a point of taking kids and grandkids to the WH and other DC sites, regardless of past political stands.
Sheeeeesh!

[Number23]

35. Dayummm!!

:rofl: :applause: :applause:

((I was also wondering why someone who has voiced nothing but displeasure, disapproval and disgust at this President is all boo-hooing with joy at going to see the White House but you said it in a much more ass-kicking way than I would have. :)))

[Whisp]

42. if those are real quotes, that sounds like a security risk to me!

:rofl:

o the hate, sometime you got to laugh

[jgraz]

53. well, you've really shown her. How dare she call Obama supporters "thugs"?

:eyes:

[BuelahWitch]

59. Yeah, they're really a bunch of Mean Girls

Justin Beiber fans ain't got nothin' on these chicks! :rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

62. Wow, you're mean!

I'm a Democrat, and I was an Obama precinct captain and
I'm proud to be an American.

I too, have criticized some of Obama's decisions and policies.
However, I would be excited to see the White House and to
stand and take pictures in the White House.

The White House is the PEOPLE'S HOUSE, and I would be elated
to be there and to meet Obama.

Geez. I get so tired of the rabid wolverine hooey around here.

[JohnnyLib2]

8. Have a great time!

:hi: :kick:

Rec.

[Jamastiene]

10. Have fun.

:hi: :D

[PufPuf23]

13. Have a great experience, SaraCat.

My only time in the WH was a public tour in 1972 when age 19.

The USA alas is not the same.

Enjoy. I hope you posy pictures.

[Whisp]

20. yes, we know you don't care about Obama.

well, have fun.

you won't feel a bit, odd? or something? like an ungrateful guest, or something?

[akbacchus_BC]

21. See, when I stated how you think, I apologised!

The best fucking President in recent years is being insulted all because we identify with him, no matter which corner of the earth we come from.

They come on here and abuse him, never in history so many people opposed someone and when we are here to help him, more abuse is piled on.

Mr. President Obama, bipartisanship do not work, let it go!

[Whisp]

22. I hear you.

:)
and lots of others do as well.
some people have much larger mouths and the din of the few is mistaken for numbers.

did you see Ohio? the downer hatefilled nasty shits will be dissappointed in November.


:bounce: :bounce: :toast: :bounce: :bounce:

[akbacchus_BC]

23. We are outnumbered on here! Am in Canada and we shit head christians

leaning your way, the christian academy! Gawd, what is wrong with these people in Canada now, are they learning from those fucktards in the US?

[Shining Jack]

25. "The best fucking President in recent years"

Well in recent years there was Chimpy, not really hard to beat that clown.

[akbacchus_BC]

28. To each his own, what you want him to do after he inherited a boatload

of shit? What are your suggestions?

[Shining Jack]

[saracat]

26. Ungrateful guest? I think not. He may not have been my fav, but I voted for him in the general

but the reality is, the WH is the "people's house" and all of us are the people.It mtters nor who is Prez. This is "our house" But I am sure you would agree we have a speacial fondness when we have a Democratic President!( and one with a lovely family and a great dog! ) LOL!

30. Pffst. If I said that it was primary ranting. So what? I wasn't a fan. Big whoop.

I supported the nominee, wasn't crazy about him.We are allowed our feelings during a primary. I haven't left, though honestly I would like, to because of craziness in genral but I can't afford to.I really wish I had left in 200O but I was talked out of it.But we are all in this together now. And GOTV is the best we all can do.

36. Whatever. I don't have to love every Democratic Pol.

But if he/she is he nominree, I have to vote for them, and I do so.They are better than the alternative.

[akbacchus_BC]

29. Well go visit the darn White House and stop griping, Take photos if

ya don't mind, but do not pose with President Obama! Hate will kill you if you have a heart condition!

[saracat]

31. Sigh, I don't hatePresident. I just don't think he is the cats pajamas

but he is what we have and thats that. I keep hoping he will be better and who knows, maybe he will?

39. Perhaps and if he is our nominee, I will vote for him again.

I don't know about you, but I do support my Party and I am very proud of my local candidates.I haven't been thrilled with a lot of what our Pres has done but like I said, the alternative is worse. But I have always retained my right to disapprove of the top DC pols. That is part of being a democrat and is inherent in a healthy democracy.

37. Bet your cat loves you! Or not?

[saracat]

40. My cats adore me. My husband says they cry when I leave. Thanks for caring!

[akbacchus_BC]

45. That's awesome! My Mia cries when I leave too but gosh, she was so

ill treated before, she is a rescue cat. Now, she sleeps with me, before, she only slept in her house!

[jgraz]

54. You do understand that it's really OUR house she's visiting, don't you?

She's not exactly a "guest". Sheesh.

[apocalypsehow]

38. "and we told the WH folks we don't care about Obama" ...

Pretty much sums your repeatedly expressed views about the President here at DU up. You're at least intellectually consistent on that singular point, if little else.

UnRec. :thumbsdown:

[saracat]

41. We were joking. We have already met Obama. We want to see Bo!

My friend is a big dog lover and has made it a point to meet every Presidential dog. They loved Barney! But they keep just missing Bo! We hope to spot him this time!

[Whisp]

44. I think I like you better sour and ornery

this Skippie McHappy thing in this thread just doesn't fit you.

[Number23]

48. "this Skippie McHappy thing in this thread just doesn't fit you."

:rofl: :rofl: Oh Jeez! Oh Lord!! Owwww my sides!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[akbacchus_BC]

46. You going to the white house just to see Bo, wow, awesome. Dogs are

high maintenance, cats are just so low maintenance! Have fun visiting the white house!

[akbacchus_BC]

47. Sorry if I annoyed you, you seem very down to earth. Well am not pleased

that you dislike President Obama, but we all have our likes and dislikes.

For me, after ten years of Bush presidency, President Obama will make a difference. He inherited shit and the only thing I want him to stop, is the stupid bipartisan shit. Repugs hate Dems and Liberals. Somebody needs to wake up President Obama that he will never be able to work with republicans. Look, I saw on CNN, her lowjesty Palin saying that America has the best healt care ever, is this woman foolish? And she went on to say that what the Dems proposing is going to erode the best health care ever. Sorry, no need to ramble, you live there!

[JohnnyLib2]

43. LOL! Cleared by Secret Service but not by fellow Dems.

Go figure. :eyes: :wow: :hi: :popcorn:

[Scurrilous]

55. "My frirend has met every presidential dog but has yet to meet Bo!"

Every presidential dog?

I doubt that...

[jgraz]

56. I bet she didn't meet Condi

:hide:

[laughingliberal]

57. I'm so happy you are able to make this trip. Have a great time! nt

[alsame]

58. That's wonderful! Have a great time. I look forward to seeing

your pics.

[Touchdown]

60. It's a good, if short tour.

Take lots of pictures! :hi:

[bvar22]

61. Have a good time, saracat!

Lots of rude, sour grapes on this thread.
Don't let them get you down.

[pinboy3niner]

63. Good for you--enjoy it!

Just remember, no matter what anyone tells you, those are MUSLIN curtains, not MUSLIM curtains. :)
