Now why would they ban photos of an event like this?
Via New York Post:
Nix the flags and the podium. Cue the opulent 18-foot tower of gold-bottled French champagne.
When President Obama addresses an elite roster of hipsters and multimillionaires, including hosts Beyoncé and Jay-Z, in New York tonight, he will do so next to a custom-designed tower of $800-per-bottle champagne that dominates the main room at Jay-Z’s 40/40 nightclub.
The 350-bottle champagne tower — designed by Jeffrey Beers — is a monument to Jay-Z’s favorite bubbly, Armand de Brignac, which is known colloquially by rappers, clubgoers and connoisseurs as Ace of Spades because of its gold-spade label.
“It’s floor-to-ceiling gold bottles in the entire space. It’s beautiful — breathtaking,” a rep for the Flatiron District hot spot told The Post. “It’s the first thing you see when you walk in.”
But the White House, which meticulously controls Obama’s image, is not expected to release any photos of the president’s appearance at the lavish club.
Details of the party are “under lock and key,” according to the rep, and the White House was guarding the guest list as if it were the latest intelligence profile of Iran’s nuclear program.
Sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll.
Pimpin’ ain’t easy.
Via Beltway Confidential:
After President Obama was introduced by Beyoncé and Jay-Z, he explained to the famous rap artist that they had something in common.
“Beyoncé couldn’t be a better role model for our daughters because she carries herself with such class and poise and has so much talent,” Obama said. “And Jay-Z now knows what my life is like. We both have daughters, and our wives are more popular than we are.”
$280,000 worth of bubbly. The 1% sure have it good, but Obama wants you to believe he looks out for the little guy? Obama thinks he is KING, not President. Michelle Antoinette Obama has the same sense of entitlement.
A tower of champagne bottles in a nightclub? So, if one drunken dancing fool trips and bumps into the tower, Jay Z is going to be out a quarter million dollars? Genius.
whachuwanna bet Obama didn’t talk like no white man at the party...
Livin’ large at the expense of others - THE reason a democrat tries to get elected.
A man of and for the people, that Obama is. This is real representative of us common folk, for sure..lol
Two words: conspicuous consumption. The reparations tour continues.
That must include a lap dance.
Notice them making that bizarre “O” sign with their hands.
I saw a bumper sticker that read “O&Joe, O12” so I guess they’ve decided to go with the highly appropriate Zero as their campaign motif.
Of course if you point this out you’re a racist.
“Ace of Spades”....If you or I said that, it would be racist. Reparations at $800 a bottle.
The idiot probably got drunk and high on something so refused to let the world see him for what he is.A scam artist..
Typical “nouveau riche”.
As my mother always says....”Class and good taste are taught...never bought.”
And I bet Obammy has water coolers in the Whitehouse full of red or white wine as well.
While the world is burning the moron goes out and drinks with his buddies..and still idiots will vote for him..
That should save or create a lot of jobs in France. Bunch of Learjet libocrits.
Pray for America
