“It’s long been said that time is a president’s most precious commodity.”

“Said,” as in past tense; that is, until 2008.

Apparently “Alex” is a female.

I was actually surprised by that.

Geez, I thought Alex was a man and it was a gay wedding.

Turns out she only looks manly.

Nice to hear. I was wondering just how “close” the President and the Chef were...

Nice to hear.

The first thing I wondered about, was whether this was a gay wedding or not?

Wasn’t this guy’s bachelor party the real reason Obama flew back to Washington midway through his vacation? At whatever expense to the taxpayers for the trip (but that was just a fortuitous bonus from BHO’s point of view).

“Longtime.” Does that mean since BEFORE or AFTER 2008? Does the article ever explain?

Sam and Alex? Is that a guy and a guy, or is a female using a nickname that sounds like a guy?

Another gay “marriage” and we probably got to pay for the food. How much was the cost for security?

Was Obama the queer best man at the queer “wedding”?
