36. That's a great rebuttal.

But I'd imagine his response would be "We could fit it in the ballroom if we kicked out all the reporters."

That would be his ideal - not only owning the venue but controlling the invite list - "sorry Mr. Obama, security says you can't attend the dinner in your honor."

It is essential he have something that no other president has ever had, or needed.

Sigh.
