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:

There is no way that thing weighs 500 pounds.
Barry’s regime loves poking the American public in the eye. Now the White House is racist so needs to be turned chocolate just as Nagin declared NO a “chocolate city.” Never mind the actual color of the executive mansion is not a racial statement. The stupidity of the “get whatever you can, however you can” crowd is beyond measure.
The gutter trash is running the palace and ruining the country.
To be fair, the Taco Bell by my house employs black people who spit in the food also.
One day an authentic non-elitist elected official will stop all this royalty-like oligarchical BS, and realize they are using the people’s money.
The Obamas are the worst elitists ever.
That is disgusting
You are so right!
Barry is a true, died-in-the-wool assh-le!
I saw a series of pictures of Muslime leaders who hold up the right hand’s index finger as a sign of Islamic solidarity.
Then I saw several pictures of the bathhouse denizen doing the same.
Also there are shots of the narcissistic sociopath subtly holding up the FU finger!
He is beyond disgusting.
I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into your gingerbread house.
;)
Queer pride solidarity.
More proof it should have been a fruitcake.
What better place for an a-hole to reside.
It will look like Trump Tower.
Special order, mooooooshelle wanted it for desert.
ROTFLOL
The pastry chef should have made little chocolate, nappy-headed figures to place inside the Black Hut.
I really believe, although both are Marxist-Muslims, that they are stupid. If their IQs were known neither would reach 115.
I believe the same is true of the Arkansas trash duo.
It has a complete interior. You can look through the windows and see Michael Moore sleepung in the Lincoln bedroom.
Few photos, no hype, no tour on TV with the Wookie hostess, no video tape of a doggie trip through the bedecked halls or bouncing around the front lawn.
Saddled with a muzzie sympathizer as the building's occupier, plus a disinterested and uninteresting family, who really cares if the People's House has a gingerbread house or not.
The only thing I'd like to see is if there's a creche scene with Baby Jesus in any one of the many rooms. How ya bettin'?
Years of Obama has effectively cast a ghostly, ghastly pall on the former national gloriousness of a Christmasy White House

Looks like the Obamas have moved on from the idea of the White House to the Chocolate House.
