Obama Invites Congressional Leaders for Cocktails at the White House

It appears President Obama will be holding regular cocktail parties on Wednesday evenings. I'm sure the Bush administration had their own fun in the White House, but I can't help but smile at this news. Oh I know it's just another avenue to leverage one's political capital, but what a nice touch? I can't help but wonder about what cocktails are ordered for this affair, or if there is an official White House mixologist shaking up drinks with a Presidential Seal. Cheers to the Chief.
