DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi, the former Chairman of the Republican National Committee, skipped a second straight meeting between President Barack Obama and the governors from the Gulf of Mexico region, the Biloxi Sun Herald reported on its website Friday. Obama did meet with the governors of Alabama, Louisiana and Florida.

Barbour's spokeswoman told the paper the governor was in New York City meeting with bond-ratings agencies and attending a Mississippi-themed picnic in Central Park.

He skipped a meeting with Obama last week during the president's trip to the region to attend the opening of a solar panel plant.

3. What is a "Mississippi-themed picnic"?
I'll take the sweet potato pie, but hold the stupid sauce.

8. Perhaps if Obama knew his place
Maybe Haley could meet with Obama after Obama had served the meal and cleared the dishes.
Provided Obama was willing to show the proper respect.

11. Republican corporate pig Barbour is a racist cracker as well as absolutely despising democrats....
Edited on Sat Jun-05-10 07:15 PM by GreenTea
Barbour reminds me of that other well known cracker, Lester Maddox - Both southern governors who ignorantly and most arrogantly believe they are better and more deserving in that this country belongs only to "their kind" simply because of the color of their skin.
