The hardworking staff received this email today from the Obama-Biden industrial complex:

Friend — We’re adding a twist to the upcoming Dinner with Barack: You not only have the chance to sit down for a meal with the President and a guest of your choice. You also get to help pick the President’s guest. Pitch in $3 or whatever you can to be automatically entered to win a seat at the table, and then make sure to weigh in on who you think should join President Obama. Three supporters like you will get to bring a guest, so why shouldn’t the President? It’s only fair. And he’s had some pretty amazing dinner guests lately: George Clooney, Sarah Jessica Parker, and of course, President Bill Clinton. So tell us, who’s next? Make sure your name is in the running to be at the Dinner with Barack happening soon, and while you’re at it, let us know who you think President Obama should bring: https://donate.barackobama.com/Your-Dinner-with-Barack Bonus points if you vote for me. (Just kidding.) – Julianna Julianna Smoot Deputy Campaign Manager Obama for America

The hardworking staff’s top three dinner companions: Mitt Romney, Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh.

That’s about three dollars’ worth of fun for us.
