Klobuchar on Obama Super Bowl guest list
President Obama is hosting a Super Bowl viewing party this weekend at the White House, and one report says that Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar is among the invited guests for the Pittsburgh Steelers-Arizona Cardinals showdown Sunday night.
But the gathering is not a Democrats-only affair, says Politico.com. Among the other invitees, the reports say, is Rep. Trent Franks, a Republican from Arizona.
