The President at the Alfalfa Club...

The President at the Alfalfa Club last night:

You’ve heard it from the pundits: “Obama is cloistered in the White House.” “He’s aloof.” “He’s in the bubble.” “He’s not connecting­.” And that’s why one of my big goals this year was to get out and be among everyday, ordinary Americans – like the men and women of the Alfalfa Club.

And Speaker (John) Boehner, it is good to see you at the head table. I know how badly Eric Cantor wanted your seat. But, John, I want you to know: I am eager to work with members of Congress to be entertaini­ng tonight. But if Congress is unwilling to cooperate, I will be funny without them.

I’d like to acknowledg­e a very good friend of mine – Warren Buffet’s secretary’­s boss is in the house.
