White House Thanksgiving Traditions: Broken and Observed
ABC News ^ | November 26, 2009 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 11/26/2009 12:04:27 PM PST by trashcanbred2

Because the tradition the White House is breaking is a media one. The press office says they will not be releasing the menu of what the family will be eating today, as White House press offices have done on Thanksgiving Day for as far back, as well, we can remember.

For instance, last year we know the Bush family dined at Camp David on free range turkey, zucchini gratin, and pumpkin mousse trifle. And in 2007, the record shows that the Bush family Thanksgiving menu was nearly identical, with the addition of a jellied cranberry mold.

So what will the Obamas be eating today? And will the American public be satisfied without such details? All the White House press office will say today is that the first family will be enjoying “traditional foods and family favorites.”

Per the BBC Muslims fast during this time. How about a Obama menu with nothing, nothing, nothing & nothing on it?

they did release the menu a few minutes ago. Standard Fare.

Though I wonder if Mo will be orderin’ room servus. Maybe a couple of lobster tails, cheap champagne and two week old caviar?

The 0bamas are not interested in joining the American people in a traditional holiday feast. They are above all that. Above and apart from the American people is exactly where they think they belong.

And especially not with those bitter clingers, terrorists and racists of flyover country.

Actually, the idiots at ABC News contradict themselves in the article.

First they claim the First Family’s Thanksgiving menu was not released and then a paragraph or two later, they link the First Family’s Thanksgiving menu.

Those MSM media folks are complete idiots.

I can assure ABC news that I will not lose a moment of sleep over not knowing what the Obama's chowed down on today.

Ok, you caught me, I didn't read the article. I was making popcorn.

But the point remains: the MSM is on the verge of being criminally negligent in some of these things although we will never be able to charge them with anything.

I know as a muslim he hates jews,,but as Mike Savage used to joke, “he really needs a sharp Jewish Madison avenue PR man”.

Why oh why does the Kenyan make everything controversial? The press asks “Hey, what was the thanksgiving menu” for a 5th page puff piece, and they stonewall it and say they won’t to reveal it. THEN everyone suddenly gets all interested, cause its human nature to pry when leaders hide things. The idiot.
