Here is awkward, squinting David Plouffe standing in front of the White House “asking” (as if we have a choice!) all of us to host Obama Parties, in our homes, this weekend. Wow. Four days advance time is cutting it pretty close there, nerd. But that’s nothing to you, is it? You go to work all day, go to your fancy three-martini lunches, while we stay at home and take care of the children and pay the bills and cook food. You want us to put together a house party for strangers this weekend? WHY NOT JUST TELL US THE NIGHT BEFORE? [Barack Obama]
PARTY. MY HOUSE. TEN MINUTES.
Has anyone seen Plouffe and Nate Silver in the same room? Just sayin’.
There are already a lot of events in DC and nearby burbs. I am thinking of going to one in a nicer neighborhood than mine- but I am avoiding the poetry reading.
Whatever you do, don’t drink the Kool-Aid!
finallyhappy: Here’s a money-saving tip: Try to go to one with lots of homemade Xmas cookies. Then fill the empty purse/messenger bag you take with you with several dozen (just make lots of passes by the buffet). Take them home and package them up and, voila, your gift list is finished! All your friends and family will get lovely and lovingly-made cookies from you, you thoughtful friend/relative, you!
Change is coming? Shit, I hate change, he doesn’t wipe his feet or put money in the beer jar..rude bastid.
FreshCliches: You just made my leg tingle.
Gee Wilikers! It’s really an Obamaware party. When you get there they try to sell you those silly plates. Or an ocean cruise with Bill Kristol. I think we should all chip in and buy one of those plates for Jonah Goldberg.
Obama has potentially 8 years in office. Does he really want to burn out everyone on his e-mail list before inauguration?
Having Biden beg for Mark Penn money already brought us to the edge.
Why can’t the illegitimate President…the right wing told me so…just take over the West Wing and throw his own damned party?
I will invent a way to distill vodka from hobo beans and make a fortune! A hobo fortune, anyway.
Sorry, but I’ve already organized my Jay Leno is Moving to 10pm Celebration Party for this weekend, and my friends would never speak to me again if I called it off now.
Bad Jim! Hurted me from the laughings!
…using only two hundred and thirty-nine beans, ’cause one more would be two-forty.
I’m getting tired of getting emails for Barry’s campaign website. Dude, you won…now leave me alone.
Plouffe looks like a Pinnochio puppet! Ha! Unless Hopey is coming ova himself, I’m not lettin anybody in!
“…because only you can help bring about…Change. And now, let me introduce you to the new Bic shaver. This shaver has never failed me…”
If anyone’s gonna be in Abu Dhabi this weekend, party in my hotel room. You bring the coke, I’ll supply the booze & hash.
I’d love to help out, David, but I’m afraid your Change is Coming party conflicts with my Bush is Leaving party.
Don’t act like you leave your apartment more than once a year, Jim.
The last time I hosted a party for those people, some bag of fuck stole my Hootie cd.
How many times do I have to tell you, it’s pronounced plUff, not plOOf.
Because in the month of December, nobody has any social engagements like office parties or family gatherings or drunken holiday hook-ups that could possibly conflict with impromptu wonk-fests.
Nag, nag, nag!
I donated. You won. Now piss off.
BarthexDeRosa: WIN.
I’m still recovering from the mocking I had to endure from my family on Thanksgiving for ordering the NY Times from November 5th. Now they’re asking me if I’m willing to be labeled an Obamatard by the entire neighborhood by hosting an Obama party to which only delusional and insufferable people who think they can influence the government by consuming chips at a neighbor’s place will come? Sure, why not?

GIT YER FAX WRIGHT.
Something about seeing him as a real live person makes me feel bad for consistently deleting his emails. I always thought of him as a little emailing robot. Oh well.
i don’t get it….people want to come to my house?….and this has something to do with Barry?…
first off, i don’t think the cats would like it….secondly, it takes a refined palate to handle my mother peas n’ roux…
bring guns, you may need them..
joeybrill: I was just saving you from the blowfish.
Ploof is a big Poof!
Like the most exciting thing about this video is the green station wagon that passes through the background at about 0:45.
There could be something more exciting later - I didn’t make it much past that.
Oh my god
ToeCramps: If Hopey showed up at my place, I would definitely come over myself. And anyone unlucky enough to be standing nearby.
Bitchincamaro will host a house party if, and only if, he can have all the same multitudinous concrete and steel barriers that the WH has. Exact replicas will be fine.
This is Hopey’s plan for redistibuting the wealth. Poor poeple find Obama parties in nice neighbors, have some nice snacks and pilch some jewerly. That is my plan anyways.
