[laughter] in the media, one of them is going to have to leak it. sure as heck, one did. now, we all know who were there. and let's see -- i can't remember all the names, so i won't mention any. but let me tell you obama's purpose. does anybody really think that barack obama had dinner with a bunch of conservatives hoping they would change his mind? [crowd "no"] hell, no. his purpose -- and his purpose really wasn't to change theirs -- his purpose was to anoint them as conservative spokesmen. these are the people that obama's willing to break bread with. these happen -- some of the people there happen to be the people who think the era of reagan is over, who believe that conservatism needs to be redefined. of course obama would try to lure them in. well, all of a
