Herman Cain Surfaces in White House Xmas Poem

This year’s holiday poem by SRN News White House Correspondent Greg Clugston had a little something for everyone — first lady Michelle Obama anti-sugar jokes, the infamous Satan sandwich, a Herman Cain 9-9-9 crack and more.

A shocker: White House Press Secretary Jay Carney attended. He’s the first Obama press secretary to ever attend the party.
