Obama's Fancy Snack

October 17, 2008 --

THOUGH he's battling GOP accusations that he's an Ivy League elitist, Barack Obama has a lifestyle of the rich and famous, like TV show host Robin Leach, who always signed off, "Champagne wishes and caviar dreams!" While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service....

[Samizdat]

Wow. I knew they were elitists but when people are seeing their own portfolios lose value, home prices are tanking and taxpayers are being handed the tab, here they are eating caviar, lobster and champagne! What was it Marie Antoinette said? Let them eat cake?

[Charles Martel]

Iranian caviar? Figures.

[counterpunch]

The 0bamas plan on living well off of other people’s money for a long time to come...
That’s the Socialist Dream.

[goldstategop]

Oh yeah! I don't need to go to a fancy restaurant to eat a good gourmet meal. I can prepare it right at home. Its definitely champagne, filet mignon and creme brulee for the Obamas!

A super HIGH CHOLESTEROL diet !!!!!

[KansasGirl]

“Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d’oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne, a tipster told Page Six. “

Naah. Not elitist at all!

What the heck is Iranian caviar? Is that something special as opposed to American caviar?

[rfreedom4u]

Iranian caviar?

No wonder he wants dialogue with Iran without preconditions. He’s got to keep his babies’ mama happy.

[erkyl]

Gnoshing on lobster and caviar all the while their goons and thugs in the MSM were destroying Joe the Plumber’s life. Can somebody please do an editorial cartoon?

“Let them eat cake” comes swiftly to mind.

[HungarianGypsy]

AndI’m quivelling about splurging on the NY Strip I bought today $8.04 for 2 (expiring today). Must be nice. If he wants us all equal, does that mean we will all eat like him and get to share presidential duties?

[NetSurfer]

Lobsters are the ocean's cockroaches.

They sure are delicious, though ;)

[Bulwinkle]

Didn’t Obama appoligize because Michele ‘couldn’t make it’ to the Dinner???????????????

[Samizdat]

I didn’t see that. Maybe she didn’t like the menu at the dinner so she stayed in for a little snacky poo. Unbelievable!

[goldstategop]

Marie Callender's Saute and Finish line of gourmet meals can be had for $8.00 - from Wal-mart. One bag feeds two but its a meal all in itself. I just wonder how much Michelle paid for her five course feast at the Waldorf Astoria.

[WakeUpAndVote]

They want to keep her mouth shut.

It's about $400 an ounce more expensive. Kind of like a comparison to a haircut for John Edwards.

[irish guard]

Soon they will have the finest dacha on the Maryland shore after confiscating it from the bourgeois.

[Samizdat]

I think somewhere else it was reported that it was some $350.00.

[LowOiL]

see my price above, it does not include shipping and the hotel price of serving it...

[Samizdat]

Maybe someone should call the Waldorf Hysteria and ask them how much a meal like that would cost from room service.

[LowOiL]

Wholesale price from the distributor... only not hotel price..

[lady lawyer]

Michelle ordered that stuff because that’s what she believes high class rich people eat.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

When he publicly eats a pork chop or bbq pork ribs we can then be sure he is not a muslim.

[Paladin2]

0be should spread some of that wealth around my house (though Alaskan Salmon would be preferred).

[dbacks]

“A super HIGH CHOLESTEROL diet !!!!!”

No wonder her Steatopygia is so prominant!

[AppyPappy]

There are pictures of him eating during Ramadan.

[Samizdat]

I’ll bet the hotel charge is a lot more than this! This story has legs and I think it will really damage their poor man image.

[albie]

“Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d’oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne”

...”and if there’s even a sliver of shell in the lobster I’ll have you in the stockade! Peasant”!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Reminds me of SKerry a few years back who had a photo op at a fast food hamburger place, then stopped and got a gourmet meal at another one w/o photographers present.

[NotchJohnson]

Well, John Edwards said he had Wendy’s for his anniversary with his wife that he cheated on. They got the Wendy’s and the had a nice catered dinner instead. But they are for the working, middle class.

[dandiegirl]

He REALLY keeps her out of sight. I wonder what’s up with that? Cindy McCain is everywhere her husband is. At least he can’t say she was home taking care of the girls-no,no,no, she’s upstairs eating lobster and caviar and drinking champagne

[freeplancer]

They are acting like Al Sharpton. He staid at the 5 star hotels while campaigning while everyone else used 3 star hotels.

[nobamanada]

[dandiegirl]

“Michelle ordered that stuff because that’s what she believes high class rich people eat.”

Bingo!

[PGR88]

Michelle Obama in NY?

Are they actually letting her out in public, this close to the election?

[Army Air Corps]

The 0bamas plan on living well off of other people’s money for a long time to come...
That’s the Socialist

Comrade, they are the vanguard of the proletariat. Their labour is more valuable as it ensures that the workers, peasants, and toiling masses are moving closer to the Workers' paradise. Supreme Comrade Obama and his wife need that fine cuisine to feed their minds so that they may toil on our behalf. Do you not see that it is for the greater good? (See, I have the skills to write for the New York Times)

[tioga]

yes, MO dined like a queen.........and later that night, in the ballroom Obama stood in his tux moaning about the poor children on the streets of NYCity.......what a joke that pair is!

[amishman]

She’s sadiddy.

[SAJ]

Do you carry osetra? My sister bought a couple of ounces as a gift for a relative. Excellent flavour, fine caviar of course, but I know she got bloody skinned on the price.

Prices for some of the items here

[SAJ]

Apols for the doubled post...sigh...

[lady lawyer]

And the really really said part is that, after she eats all this expensive rich people food — which she didn’t earn — she’ll still feel like she doesn’t fit in, and it will be all whitey’s fault. I’m feeling guilty about that already.

[philled]

While they are in lockstep on many issues, apparently America's Unhappiest Millionaire hasn't discussed the evils of cholesterol with Julianne Malveaux. Remember Malveux's diet advice for Justice Clarence Thomas:

"The man is on the Court. You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. Well, that’s how I feel. He is an absolutely reprehensible person."

How can anyone possibly doubt that these tolerant people want nothing but the best for all Americans? Seems to me that universal healthcare and income redistribution in the hands of people like this would be a good thing. Well, either that or off to the camps...

[ladyvet]

” That was not the snack I used to know.....”

[lady lawyer]

That’s . . .really really sad part . . .

[LowOiL]

LOL, I have never even tried caviar...

My most expensive meal of my life was in college... I wrote a bad check at McDonalds for a big mac, Dr. Pepper, and fries cost me about 35 bucks... way back in the 80's...

I just linked a wholesaler for those that wanted to get an idea of how expensive this Iranian caviar was...

I will stick to my Big Macs thanks...

[Yo-Yo]

What the heck is Iranian caviar? Is that something special as opposed to American caviar?

Back home we call it 'bait.'
