President Obama held José Andrés up as an example of the need to pass comprehensive immigration reform during a $10,000-per-plate fundraiser at the celebrity chef's Zaytinya restaurant.
The president called Andrés “exhibit A of giving immigrants an opportunity” and credited the Spanish immigrant as “the quintessential American success story.”
“Michelle loves him. I love him,” Obama added.
The Obamas have long been fans of Andrés, with the first couple spending last Valentine's Day at his Minibar restaurant. Andrés also catered a lunch for the spouses of world leaders during the G8 summit at Camp David in 2012, and the Obamas visited his Oyamel restaurant in Washington this February.
Earlier this year, Obama recognized the chef as an “Outstanding American by Choice” during a naturalization ceremony at the White House.
Andrés himself has been a proponent for immigration reform, penning an op-ed last year in the Washington Post to promote the legislation.
The fundraiser Monday night, which will benefit the Democratic National Committee, begins a busy week of fundraising for the president. On Tuesday, Obama will attend at least two DNC events in New York City, and then head to Connecticut for a fundraiser benefiting Senate Democrats.
On Thursday, the president will head to Los Angeles for another DNC event. The next day, he'll head to San Francisco for two more days of fundraisers benefitting the DNC.
If the taxpayers were buying me $200 an ounce Wagu steaks and all the delicacies that normally go with it, I’d probably smack my lips and praise the chef, too.
José Andrés is an illegal alien?
Naturalized citizen.
Wow, those sure are alot of fundraisers.
I remember when ABCnews always did investigations on GOP fundraisers during the Bush years. Now not an iota of curiosity.
A Spanish guy who can cook. Who knew!
Obama and Michele sucked-up bigtime---he and the F/L say they "love" the guy.
Looks like desperate Democrats are making a last ditch effort....resorting to using their "Heart of Gold strategy"
"Heart of Gold strategy" means Dems will suck-up to anything that moves.
Everybody is familiar w/ the lovable "heart of gold prostitute" in Hollywood movies......."Sweet Charity" and that type.
With the money Obama raised, the DNC is providing Dem candidates w/ the handy pocket book: "The Prostitute's Manual To Having A Heart of Gold."
Foreword by Barack Obama.
I guess Michelle gave the latino a BJ later, as an-after dinner treat (cackle).
yeah - thanks for that mind picture Liz -post eyewash immediately
So, this Spanish chef slipped in illegally through our southern border?
Spanish = Mexican?
That’s as stupid as OBEE-GUY-KNEE.
So the POS and his POS wife are on an around the country all expense paid by the taxpayers on AF1 again this week. When the write the history books in a few hundred years, Emperor Obama will be known as the one who flew on AF1 while the country burned, figuratively. No difference between this clown and Nero IMO except Nero actually got his title through birth.
Actually, he didn't - he was adopted as an heir by his Great Uncle Claudius. And he was supposed to share power with Britannicus, Claudius' son by Valeria Messalina. Of course, he murdered Britannicus and took the throne for himself.
He was born in Rome from what I gather, that was the birth comment. I know about the adoption.
WOW! It can still be done the right way? Send the rest home until they figure it out.
For instance, Pro-amnesty people demand that President Obama give work visas to at least 8,000,000+ illegals.
But what pro-amnesty traitors conveniently forget to mention is that many of these 8,000,000 illegals who will get work visas have husbands/wives and school-age children.
24,000,000 illegals get amnesty? My point is this: Pro-amnesty people are not really talking about 8,000,000 illegals, because they secretly know in their hearts that they are really talking about more like 24,000,000 illegals----3 times 8,000,000 illegals--- who will eventually get AMNESTY when President Obama takes his pen and quickly signs his executive order in a few weeks.
how did I arrive at the number of 24,000,000 illegals? I did it this way: I multiplied 8,000,000 illegals by 3.
1. Obviously, illegal immigrant men need their wives and children to keep them company. and many of them are already here.
2. And illegal immigrant women need their husbands to help them with the children.
3. Also, these illegal immigrants with their new work visas will now have no fear that immigration agents will be coming to their home to check to see how many in the household besides the visa holder are here legally.
4. So once they get their work visas, they can invite any number of relatives to live with them without fear that immigration officials will be coming to their unexpectedly to check the status of the people in the home. As long as visa holders pay their rent on time and their children attend school, we can be sure that no immigration officials will bother them and their families.
My point is this: Work visa holders and their growing families will be here forever. Basically, deportation of these illegals and their families will never happen, if President Obama has his way and goes ahead and signs his executive order soon after the midterm election.
5. You see, you can't very well legalize 8,000,000 illegals by giving them work visas, on the one hand, and then, on the other hand, turn around and deport husbands and wives and children of the work visa holders, persons who may not qualify for work visas for one reason or the other.
6. So I believe that multiplying 8,000,000 illegals by 3 is a good conservative estimate of how many illegals will immediately benefit from President Obama's executive order---an estimate based on a household with two parents, one child.
7.Of course, many households will be single households with no children.
8.But, as we know, many, many households of illegals who will be given work visas will have two or more children, so all those many children will easily make up for those households in my 24,000,000 estimate that have no children.
9. So that is the way I concluded that 24,000,000+ illegals will really get amnesty when traitor President Obama gives away our country with the simple signing of his executive order: 8,000,000 million illegal work visa holders times a conservative estimate of 3 member's in each illegal immigrant household.
10. Again, when President Obama quickly signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections, he will NOT be giving amnesty to just 8,000,000 illegals as the pro-amnesty people want us to believe.
11. Rather, when the smoke clears, anti-amnesty people will wake up one morning and suddenly realize that the pro-amnesty people and President Obama have pulled off one of the biggest scams in history, because President Obama will really give amnesty to 24,000,000 illegals, not 8,000,000 illegals as President Obama will claim when he signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections.
NOTE: 'Because it was the right thing to do." This is Obama's favorite phrase when he wants to justify his decision on a controversial subject like illegal immigration.
It is as if Obama wants us to believe that his decision is divinely inspired, that is, God himself told him what to do. What a bunch of crap.
So be prepared to hear Obama's phrase---"Because it was the right thing to do"---over and over after Obama signs the worst executive order ever.
It is the worst ever because President Obama will lie to us and give amnesty to not 8,000,000 illegals as Obama will lead us to believe when he signs the executive order, but to an unbelievable number of 24,000,000 illegals. Sick. Sick. Sick.
NOTE: If the government can't handle those hundreds of illegals who crossed the Mexican border recently, how in the world is the government going to process the 8,000.000 illegals that President Obama will give amnesty to in a few weeks after the mid-term elections? No way. No way.
The restaurant is named “Minibar”? How appropriate. Overpriced junk food, just like in a hotel room minibar.
