Strange Visitor from another Planet.

Meetings, meetings, and more bloody meetings.

No. It's not corporate America having meetings, meetings, and more meetings. They're on a diet...

Faster than a stimulus package. More powerful than a bank stress test. Able to create debt with a single pen stroke.

Funnier than an HBO comedy special. It's government. It's Congress. It's the White House!

Yes, it's President Obama, first President of Color, who came to this office with a vision far beyond those of other candidates. Obama, who can change the course of the country, bend the economy with his bare hands; and who disguised as President, government rethinker and speaker to greater metropolitan newspapers, fights a never ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way...

If you have any funny in you at all, you've got to admit President Obama rocked at The White House Correspondents' Dinner the other night. He even pushed the envelope with the material, and without jeopardizing the office.

Here's the only issue I have: He still hasn't cleared the path for corporate America to meet freely, yet it must have taken 99 meetings to put that dinner together. There were planning meetings, site inspections, meetings with writers, secret service meetings, meetings to change seating arrangements (couldn't you just tell that Demi Moore pushed to be at that table in that seat).

Meetings are good! That meeting was valuable. Wanda Sykes was an asset, and no, you can't calculate the ROI she brings, and trying too has contributed to why corporate meetings are in the mess they're in now!

All I'd like to see is the gloves taken off for corporate America - just a word of support given by President Obama - so they can get back to the focus of meetings and off of the focus on meeting.

And in case you weren't sure and needed clarification, The Washington Hilton isn't a budget hotel! Some might even describe it as a luxury property. And no, a sleeveless First Lady, doesn't save enough to justify it.
