You’ve got to be all glam and glitz to hang out at Obama’s pad these days.  According to the Washington Times, the President is rolling out the red carpet for Washington’s glittery socialites.  [shaken, not stirred]

The Obamas "are trying to push the vibrancy of Washington nightlife to the forefront," said Tony Hudgins, the associate publisher of DC Magazine.

Some even argue the Obama’s are taking from the "Reagan playbook by blending social Washington, political figures, and Hollywood."

While some conservatives feel the President should focus on other matters more important than the DC social scene, others are "praising the the Obamas for "wanting to get to know their neighbors…That’s not social climbing. That’s normal."

All we want to know is whether or not the Presidential updo will affect the White House Pig Roast.
