Obama had a celebration yesterday with Mexico’s ambassador and had a little gaff: President Barack Obama is celebrating Cinco de Mayo a little early. On the eve of the Mexican holiday, Obama on Monday had an event in the East Room of the White House with Mexico’s Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan (sahr-oo-KHAN’). Obama joked that it […]
Since the GOP doesn’t seem to be able to distance themselves from the disaster known as Bush, it looks like they will now embrace them: Former White House press secretary Dana Perino, former Bush counselor Ed Gillespie and former White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto are among those set to provide words of wisdom […]
Kal Penn is getting a new gig, and this one isn’t in Hollywood: I understand it was your decision to leave House. True? KAL PENN: Yes. I was incredibly honored a couple of months ago to get the opportunity to go work in the White House. I got to know the President and some of […]
