On Christmas Eve, the Obama White House posted on social media a photograph of a huge ginger bread house on display in the executive mansion, which had some Americans thinking more Marie Antoinette than Merry Christmas.
"Let them eat gingerbread," one social media user said in response.
The 500-pound gingerbread house is an exact replica of the White House and was designed by Executive Pastry Chef Susan Morrison.
"A lot of love goes into this 500 pound gingerbread house!" Morrison is quoted in the White House post.
Interestingly, The Associated Press noted that this year's gingerbread house differs from past efforts in a not-so-subtle way ... Morrison used dark chocolate "instead of white chocolate as in years past."
Included among the reactions on social media was a reminder that some Americans struggling in a tepid Obama economy don't have the luxury of affording to build a gingerbread house of their own.
Here's a sampling of responses from Twitter:

This creation looks more like a brown house to me.
Well it ‘is’ one big pile of crap these days so it’s truth in advertising.
My gingerbread house is still underwater.
I’m sure the intent of the material choice was not lost by the makers.
Slime creates slime.
Dorkbama the Muslim is the very baseline of slime, from which all lesser slime oozes.
I pray to outlive it...yes, it...so I can take a bodacious bacon-laden you know what on its grave.
Oh please, grow up. I know it’s insincere and a front, but think of the alternative. At least it doesn’t have any condoms or Muslim outreach. Let up. If Reagan had had the exact same gingerbread house, all we would have heard about was how callous he was to have an enjoyable Christmas while some children were hungry or some people were homeless.
Knowing where it was made, I’d think the “ingredients” are suspect. It’s kinda like a white person taking their chances at the drive thru at a Taco Bell that employs all hispanic help.
Actually, I shouldn't disparage the gingerbread house. Despite what I think of the Obamas, the chef put a lot of time and talent into making the gingerbread house. It's not her fault she works for that pair of grifters. Their sins are not hers.
We would really be angry if we knew how much it cost to maintain this Chicago Marxist-Muslim trash!
Mooch-Hell has 26 assistants assigned exclusively to HER!
Surprising. Thought it’d be made out of skittles.
I think fruitcake would have been more appropriate....

A lot of darkness coming from the White House these days. Looking for big change soon.
Chocolate gingerbread? Gingerbread is brown but I never heard of putting chocolate in it. White icing would have fixed it!
How many thousands of dollars did this thing cost?

Its not a replica of the present White Hut. Where are the minerets and camels?
Alahwahoo Whackbar!
“Let them eat gingerbread.” Brilliant response.
>>This creation looks more like a brown house to me.<<
Well, the half breed HAS crapped all over it. Just as he has the Constitution, Congress and the American people.
It looks like a sculpted turd.
Should have used half-and-half.
A gift to the ruling elite from the indentured peons. Enjoy, oh Holy Family! We are happy to give it to you. Just send a thank you card, you hear!
Clever.
That’s what the Obama’s should be displaying since they don’t believe in Christmas.
Might top it off with a pile of dog sh-t.
