President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama spent a leisurely couple hours at Vintage Cave Honolulu, dropping an estimated $1,000 on a meal with wine at an upscale restaurant that actually charges $500,000 for those who want to buy a membership.

Life is a Mooschelle.
As much as I liked W’s prosecution of the WOT and highly disliked his spending, inaction towards his detractors in the MSM and his creation of the DHS and TSA, I can’t even fathom his doing this at a time when we have soldiers in harm’s way around the world.

I guess he misplaced his optics meter again.
You also know this thousand dollar meal will be forgotten to them the next day like water under a bridge. I could make a grand last for weeks. There’s a difference.

The USA broke away from British royalty years ago, but has kept up its slavish adoration for royalty. The couple in the White House has assumed the role of royalty.
I would like for a regular citizen to show up at the door of Vintage Cave Honolulu and ask for the same deal that the obamas got. Should Vintage refuse then a discrimination suit should be filed against the restaurant.
