Why did Hillary Clinon not come to the state dinner with her husband? I see others had their spouses with them- like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. I think he should have been able to accompany her.
Maybe he had a prior committment. Ex President Clinton has a lot of projects he takes care of...
Nettie, he was invited, he had to decline the invite as he was obligated elsewhere... watch MSNBC.
At first I thought it was odd that Hillary didn't bring a guest, but she can definitely hold her own at such a function! I'm sure Bill would have come if he could have.
It is extremely rood to picture Michelle as a monkey. The website has to be accountable for it. Not only it is a disgrace to black people but also shows racism still exists. what a shame!
Good to see barry and aunt esther out whining, dining, and pocket lining instead of worrying about an astronomical debt, troops dying in Afghanistan because of his blunders, and unemployment in double figures. What a weak ass loser for a POTUS.
What is th esource of the pictures in the slideshow?
And to the idiot poster I aske what he felt about war criminal Bush entertaining? He was the ass that got us where we are!
Maybe you should learn how to spell better than a 2nd grader "Paul" before you call other people "idiots." Bwah-hahahahahaha what a libtard.
