Dinner with Barack - What could go wrong?

[Merrick]

I just got an email inviting me to join some sort of contest to win a seat at a dinner of 5 with Barack Obama, which sounds just terrible. Not because I don't support him, but because I know I'd do something really awful and make a huge ass of myself. You know, I'd probably get all nervous and flustered and say something really stupid or throw up or pass out face first into whatever lovely food they'll be serving. Something like that.

How would you probably ruin everything if you're chosen?

1. Easy. Bring my laptop, log in to GD: P, let him scroll through.

There would be so much laughter and folks spitting food out, the dinner would be ruined.

2. Would you tell this to him?

On January 24th, 2009, in the oval office of the new Democratic president:

The Secretary of Defense is giving the President the daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

The President's staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and says, "One Brazilian is too many! I am glad that we are beginning to draw down our presence in Iraq and put an end to this long national nightmare."
