The Donner Party

The White House just released the names of who will be sharing Mrs. Bush's box during her husband's State of the Union speech tonight. On the list of political volley include: Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, Jenna Bush, Lynne Cheney, Lori Ball (homemaker- hurt, by mortgage crisis, later saved by a social program supported by Bush), James Barnard (small business owner from Michigan), a Staff Seargent injured in the war... and etc. As you see, such an elite guest list has more to do with politics than anything else. Administrations play politics with guest lists, as they spell out certain stances on relevant issues by who gets invited to share such an elite spot on the First Lady's guest list.
