On Socialism & Wealth Redistribution: Michelle Obama Spent $447.39 on an Afternoon Snack
AudacityofHypocrisy.com ^ | 10/19/2008 | admin

According to Michelle Obama, “The truth is, in order to get things like Universal Health Care and a revamped Education System, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of the pie so that someone else can have more.”

Oh, really? Who is the someone who gives up a piece of the pie?

On October, 15,2008, Michelle Obama spent $447.39 on room service (for 2) at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for an afternoon snack of Lobster Hors D’Oeuvres ($50.00), Whole Steamed Lobsters (100.00), Iranian Osetra Caviar ($150.00), and Bollinger Champagne ($44.00)

See the Michelle Obama wealth redistribution quote below, and the enlarged receipt for the sumptuous snack, signed by Michelle Obama.

Sounds exquisite, doesn’t it, if your culinary tastes run to lobster, caviar and champagne? But this insight into the Obama lifestyle makes us wonder how often Joe ‘the Plumber’ Wurzelbacher of Toledo, Ohio and his family eat lobster with all the trimmings.

How often does the average person eat like this? Or is it only those who make $250,000 or more? Or only the 95% of the population laboring under the illusion that they will get tax breaks under the Obama Wealth Redistribution Plan?

Actually the prices listed there are too low - the bill came to over 600 dollars, and I specifically remember the champagne costing $98 (I like champagne, so I paid specific attention to that part)

Yeah, but it wasn’t lobster PIE so that’s OK.

I posted this thought on another thread.

Huckabee asked Joe the Plumber what he did when he couldn’t make ends meet. Joe replied “buy bologna instead of ham”

Someone should compare this to Michelle Obama’s asking Joe to give up his “piece of pie” (or bologna in his case) while she snacks on lobster, caviar, and champagne.

Let them eat cake?

Leaders of the vanguard party of the proletariat are not bound by shopworn bourgeois notions like “shame” or “hypocrisy”. Read Comrade Stalin’s “Short Course” for further illumination on ths point.

Where did the copy of this receipt come from?

Goodness--that girl is so nouveau! You know, for a gal who talks about how tough her family had it, she sure had a fancy wedding (white tie), lives in some of the best digs in the best neighborhood in Chicago (her town is ranked as one of the best in the country), and now room service to boot! This is beyond anything my husband's company would underwrite a guy on the road.

However, she may want to limit her fish consumption if she plans to do much traveling in the next few hours.

It is not all that unusual for visitors from the midwest or other places to feast on lobster when in the NY and New England area. These little seen in their area delicacies tempt them beyond all resisting. While native New Englander natives will resist all lobster prices in excess of $0.50 per pound visitors are encouraged to spread their wealth around to whatever the market will bear. Hopefully the new Obama administration will price control lobster at $1.00 per pound so all of us aficionado’s may enjoy it at a reasonable price. My sincere apologies to all the lobsterman’s sons and daughters I grew up with. //sarc

I wonder how Soros likes his cash being pissed away like this?

There are two Russian terms that are destined to be part of the American lexicon I fear. One is “dacha,” and the other is “zek.”

A Freeper bought up an important query. I gave it scant attention at the time. It does bear careful consideration. Notice the two signatures of Michelle. They seem to be exactly alike. It may not be evident unless one tries this out with one's own two signatures.

The human hand cannot exactly duplicate a signature. Only a copy machine can do that.

The original source—the NY Post—has pulled the article. What do you suppose that is about?

There was also a 20% mandatory “service charge” -—something you and I would call a TIP.
Then the sales taxes were applied to all that total—so it definately came to over $600.
A copy of the bill was on a thread this AM.

I cannot think of a single human being living or dead that makes me want to use racial epithets more than this ‘woman’. I really hate her.

I stand corrected- that is the same copy I saw this AM.
I thought there was another item on it, and I must have mis-read it.
Sorry.

I feel the same way. The mere sight of her brings something bilious out of my guts.

In a decent world both the Obamas would be prosecuted for child endangerment for subjecting their daughters to irreverent Wright throughout their young lives.
