President Obama spoke at the Alfalfa Dinner to a gathering of Washington's elite. The club has Confederate roots since it was originally founded to celebrate the birthday of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. During is comments Obama noted that:
“If he [Lee] were here with us tonight, the general would be 202 years old... And very confused.”
Politico has the story here.
Sarah palin also attended the dinner. To Palin, Obama expressed surprise to see her with such members of the Washington elite she railed against during the campaign. Or, as he termed it in language Palin is familiar with, “palling around with this crew.”
Gobama!!!
