It's not private when you have a gaggle of people with cameras behind a cordoned off area, announce which beer was selected by each particpant, talk about the table selection process and make it an outdoor thing followed by statements to the media. If they all truly wanted to meet and talk they would have just done it without the fanfare, maybe in the kitchen.
I suspect the cameras could just look and not listen because the President didn't want an unanticipated Joe The Plumber moment from any of the other three (including Biden).
Evidently you dont know what the "Joe the Plumber moment" was, but I think this arrangement was all right. I agree, they should have met in the kitchen and then each talked about it (if he felt like it) later, but photographing for all of us to see their body language and facial expressions, showing who spoke, smiled, etc. MOS was an okay decision and maybe better in the long run for everyone, given the insane speculation and sour-grapes bad wishes that went on about it among right wingers.
I would have to politely ask to replace the beer with something non-alcoholic since I don't drink anymore. I'd accept the invitation just to see the monuments of DC and the White House itself. I don't like Barrack and Michelle Obama but I'd still like to see the White House and DC monuments.
If you like museums, there is no better city than D.C., in fact, no other city can even come close
Without hestitation. I would be honored by the invitation and I would introduce him to some good home brew.
I would only have a few conditions.
1. No media
2. No clintons
3. No Kennedy's
Biden could come if he promised not to tell anymore BS stories about Home depot.
