Ineed, sadly. Rosling is one of the people on my "fantasy dinner-party" list.

  If I were POTUS I would have weekly dinners with three to four people I admire. From different fields, but some connecting subject. Presumably the guest would find that stimulating, as well. Everything off-the-record, in an informal atmosphere (some chairs by a fire maybe). Afterwards, the guest list is published (for transparency – but not the subjects that we talked about). I mean, you can have anybody! Nobody declines such an invitation. Do presidents actually do this? I feel it would be the greatest perk.

    Quite a few people have declined for the current POTUS, but then again, would you want cold fast food and rhetoric shouted at you in the Whitehouse?

      Lets put petty political posturing aside. If you have any issue you care about, the opportunity is singular. It would be a great waste to decline, no matter the dinner faire.

        Oh I agree with you, but it seems to be a matter of principals.
