Stolen Question: Who’s Coming to Dinner?

I’m running way behind this morning for a variety of reasons, so I’m going to swipe another easy question and throw it back to the audience. this one’s from Eric Lund, who asked:

If you could attend a dinner with any major political figure in the world, who would it be, and why?

The answer that makes this an easy question is “Barack Obama,” who is currently the most major of world political figures, and comes off as almost too good to be true on tv. So I’d like to have dinner with him (after playing hoops for a while to work up an appetite), just to see if he’s really that good.

But that’s too obvious a question. So, other than Obama, what major political figure would you have dinner with, if you could?
