Only if I could wear blue jeans and a t-shirt that said "I didn't vote for you!"
I dunno... I guess if you think that's cool. Personally, I have zero desire to hobnob with politicians of any sort, or really a lot of people the world seems to consider 'cool' or important. I'd rather be out back cooking on my grill, or spending time with my family (wife and son, that is). If I were going to take time away from home and travel, Washington D.C. is pretty darn close to the bottom of my list in terms of places to visit.
Maybe I'm strange, or stupid, or whatever... just holds no awe or attraction for me.
The way I see it is you accept the invitation either way.
1. You like th guy and the job he's doing. No Brainer you go you schmooze you enjoy your evening.
2. you don't like the guy or the job... You go you get a chance few dissenters have and you can voice your opinion right to the man you disagree with and hear his side of the story without the press and media and handlers filtering responses. you can counter and make arguments for or against whatever it is in the government that you don't like and even if nothing comes of the time, you get the opportunity to make your statements and your views to his face instead of hiding behind "the angry masses".
Either way you accept the invitation if you have the morals and character so many profess to. It seems to me more-so that you would accept it if you disagree with the president than if it was someone you agreed with...but maybe others just don't want to take the opportunity to stand behind what they preach so freely in anonymity.
