(Newser) – Barack Obama broke bread with America's most influential conservative opinion shapers last night. The Washington Post reports he was guest of honor at a dinner party given by columnist George Will, along with Bill Kristol, David Brooks, and Charles Krauthammer. Rumors were buzzing that Rush Limbaugh would attend, but a source tells the Huffington Post he was not at the table. No word yet on the topic of dinner conversation.

Keep your friends close and your enemies...though the attack dogs don't hurt.

Thank God Limbaugh didn't attend. He would have ruined the dinner. Right Wing Nut.
