Am I the only one pissed that celebrities have unlimited access to the president and others in DC

| It amazes me that any celebrity (including those who are not US Citizens) can get a meeting at the White House with the President or a meeting with any Congressman. I on the other hand have worked for the Federal government for over 30 years and I can only imagine the reaction I would get if I asked for a meeting with Obama.... |

No, you're not. But you're also not likely to get any sympathetic voices either.
Look on the bright side, thie district wasn't such a hip town before the waters parted in 2008. |

What do you have to offer?
FWIW, your congressman would take that meeting. But celebrities? They're better than you and me. |

| Maybe not. But I don't think I'm that special or important that I need access to Obama. |

Well.... If I knocked on your door and asked to use your phone, would you let me in? If George Clooney knocked on the door and asked to use your phone, would you let him? |

"any celebrity"?
Define "any". Define "celebrity." There are about 986 issues higher up on my list of concerns than this one. |

No, OP. I am pissed because the only change I have witnessed is the death of hope.
Obama is a suit. |

| Even better than the access celebs have is the special treatment they receive - particularly Jay-Z and Bey. Authorization to visit Cuba for their anniversary, really?? Like any commoner would be granted such authorization. Please. |

why do you feel its important to see the president OP (and i assume you mean any president and not just obama)?
like a PP said, you have better luck getting a meeting with your congressman or even local elected official. i suggest you try that and maybe if you impress your elected officials, you may one day meet the president if that official thinks of you to attend an event. 30 years in the federal government doesnt equal access to the president. are you 10 years old? "why cant i be an astronaut? ive read so many books about going to space since i was a kid and i bet if i walked up to NASA and asked if i can go on the next launch they would say no. how do i get down?" |
