Yikes! Did Michelle really say that?
That makes a striking side-by-side with Joe the Plumber.
Bollinger? I guess Mad-Dog doesn’t make Champaigne.
Lobster and Lobster. Send the DNC more money! Pelosi says if they had more money they could eat more Lobster,,,err,,,,get more seats!
Michelle needs her caviar fix, please people! She is just like one of us, where is the humanity?
Ah Obamination
Fabrice better watch his back.
This, in plain english, reeks.
Wow, that meal was enough to cover a car payment, or rent...I’ve only had lobster twice (does Red Lobster count?) These people want me to believe they have something in common with me?
Just like Hillary said...
the someone obviously isn’t Michelle. All the people they’re making promises to should see how their king and queen will live.
Those guys are racists for reporting this and you’re a racist for posting it. You do know I’m being facetious.
I could go for some lobster. Instead, I just finished my lunch which consisted of a piece of bread swished around the inside of the now empty salsa jar and the remaining half cup of this morning’s cold coffee.
Nice to be really rich! Who was that food for, just Barack and her? It’s too much even for me, and I have a big appetite.
How did they manage to get a real copy of the receipt, if that is real? I hope the hotel doesn’t get sued. I wonder if Michelle threw in an added tip on top of the gratuity charge.
Imagine if Mrs McCain had ordered such an incredibly expensive meal. The “news” media would be screaming about it.
Ayers and Obama shared more than lobster - looks like they shared an office.... From another thread:
Two Bloggers’ Work Makes Closeness of Obama-Ayers Ties More Obvious Than Ever

Ayers’s take on Farrakhan and his security detail also would seem to raise questions about the nature of Obama’s relationship with the Nation of Islam leader, including whether the Obamas feel they owe Farrakhan or his flock any future favors for the extra level of protection Ayers clearly feels the Fruit have provided.
Then there are Verum Serum’s findings:
(The) Chicago Annenberg Challenge website from 2002 shows the total amount of funds given to Bill Ayers’ Small Schools Workshop from 1995 to 2001. ..... According to this page, the total given under Barack Obama’s direct supervision was $1,056,162. Adding that amount to the money given by the Joyce Foundation and Woods Fund during Obama’s tenure brings the grand total to $1,968,718. Just shy of two million dollars! That’s a lot of scratch, to put it bluntly. And don’t forget, this doesn’t count the 3/4 million that went to John Ayers during the same time period.
..... (Also) Bill Ayers and Barack Obama shared an office. Ayers’ Small Schools Workshop, the one Obama directed all that money too (sic) is located at 115 S. Sangamon Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607.
..... In 1998, the address for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, where Obama presumably worked, was 115 S. Sangamon Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607.
Verum Serum has screen grabs supporting his same-address claim at his post, including web archive and tax return evidence that both the Annenberg Challenge and the Small Schools Project were located on the third floor.
Bollinger is excellent Champagne. I don't think Michelle Obama drinks Mad Dog.
Is that receipt real?
Ping from one Fightin’JAG to another.
What is she doing ordering Champagne?
I’m sure she paid for that with her own personal funds
I think it was a meal for 2. I just read the post about the barbeque and greens Obama picked up at some joint in Illinois. You know damn well, that meal went right in the trash.
Not only racist, but according to Politico, you are part of “The Resistance.”
Maybe even Politico would get the historical implication of “Viva le Resistance”?

No clicks for Politico!
You’re living large ;)
She and Barry are the vanguard of the proletariat, comrade. Those victuals may seem extravagant, but they need that food to feed their minds so that they may usher in the Workers’ Paradise! They ate they food for the common good of all workers, peasants, and toiling masses.
Amanda Carpenter notes:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle, complained the government’s $600 economic stimulus check was only enough to buy “a pair of earrings” while stumping for her husband.
“You're getting $600 - what can you do with that?” Mrs. Obama said in Pontiac, Michigan last week. “Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn't pay down every bill every month. The short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good, and it may even feel good that first month when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings."
She made these remarks at a “working women’s roundtable discussion.”
Well, it's not like Michelle Obama makes comments like this all the time.
"Not everyone can afford to keep it all together, especially here in Muskingum County, where, according to the census, the median household income in 2004 was $37,192, below both the Ohio and national average. Out of that, there’s the mortgage. And child care. Health care. Education. Lessons. “I know we’re spending — I added it up for the first time — we spend between the two kids, on extracurriculars outside the classroom, we’re spending about $10,000 a year on piano and dance and sports supplements and so on and so forth,” Mrs. Obama tells the women. “And summer programs. That’s the other huge cost. Barack is saying, ‘Whyyyyyy are we spending that?’ And I’m saying, ‘Do you know what summer camp costs?’”
One wonders whether that $600 budgeted for earrings could be spent on, say, fruit:
"Now we’re keeping, like, a bowl of fresh fruit in the house. But you have to go to the fruit stand a couple of times a week to keep that fruit fresh enough that a six-year-old—she’s not gonna eat the pruney grape, you know. At that point it’s, like, ‘Eww!’ She’s not gonna eat the brown banana or the shrivelledy-up things. It’s got to be fresh for them to want it. Who’s got time to go to the fruit stand? Who can afford it, first of all?”
Here's what she should be drinking...
Why? Black people only drink Mad Dog? Is that a rule somewhere?
Aloha BL!
She’ll get my vote when Hell freezers over!
Let her get her lobsters elsewhere!
Honey, please. This woman is so out of touch with reality. I would not dream of telling anyone to do with their own money, but I’m tired of this woman (who needs to pluck a less angry arch in her eyebrows) pretending that she or any Democrat has anything in common with the “common people” with our guns and religion and stuff.
The last recreational beverage I had was a dern good Margarita on-the-rocks with the salt on the rim (blood pressure be damned) and last time I looked down I was still black.
Hiya Ms B! I just bought a load of shrimp for 5 bucks.
Gonna make a seafood salad yo bet.
Think I could charge Michelle $100 bucks for a plate of dat?
Sheesh! To be so elite. I pay $15 for a basket of fruit and veggies every other week. $27 once a week if I wanted organic. But, my kids will eat anything. They aren’t spoiled little rich kids.
JUst read your profile. Love your turn ons and turn offs. Cheers! :)
That’s what I was thinking.
If they could take the line from Joe the plumber on the Huckabee show where huckabee asked Joe what he did when he couldn’t make ends meet and joe said he’d buy bologna instead of ham and compare that to the lobster gig, might be huge.
I know a number of people who drank Mad Dog when they were in college and needed something dirt cheap for parties.
Have a look at their tax return. I posted a link to it in post #25.
They would not last 5 minutes in the hood. Nor would Oprah.
Hiya My!
What the hell..
Hell, charge her 200.00!
LOL
Hey, lobsters are 3.89 a lb. right now..
YOM!
THAT is funny right there. :-)
Did she even give a tip?
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
I hear you can get them off the boat for 2.99 right now!
Thats bad for the lobstermen but good for you!
Iranian Caviar?
Very typical of the “nouveau riche” though.
Order $150/oz Iranian Cavier and then drink it with a $44 bottle of Bollinger. With caviar, you should have nothing less than a Tattinger or a Veuve-Cliquot...
Just sayin’...
Legal yes. Very bad form? Check.
I know..
I feel badly for them.
The lobstermen (and women) work VERY hard for their pay.
Dont I know it.
Can you freeze lobster?
“Fred Sanford! You old heathen!”
If so, Fabrice may be soon out of a good paying job.
