Poverty and unemployment are at near-record levels, the economy is stalled, and a record 47 million Americans are on food stamps, yet aides for first lady Michelle Obamas tweeted out a picture of her two dogs apparently dining at a table laid with crystal and china.
Bone appétit!, the aides added to the insensitive tweet, using the language of Frances queen Marie Antoinette, who was executed by radicals in 1793.
One dog appears to be wearing a jeweled necklace. The other is wearing a red ribbon.
Obamas media courtiers applauded the ostentatious display of canine luxury. Bo And Sunny Obama Get Decked Out For The State Dinner And Its Pretty Adorable, says the headline on an article at the Huffington Post.
In 1980, Ronald Reagans wife, Nancy, was relentlessly criticized in the press after she ordered a new set of china for the White House during the painful recession created under Democratic President Jimmy Carter.
The china was bought with donated funds, yet it prompted so much media controversy that it was not used until February 1982. Nancy Reagans new china set survived its White House debut intact. Nary a $48 cup was broken, declared a snarky AP article.
The palace dogs tweet was quickly praised by Obamas followers.
So cute! Aww! said a tweet from Erica.
OMG SO CUTE, said Jessica.
Others reactions were jaundiced. #Boneghazi, said a tweet from SeaWorldSammy. Dont laugh. That will be the @FoxNews headliner tomorrow, he added.
And their state dinner tonight, consists of: White House does know is what will be on the menu for
350 guests served in a tent on the South Lawn
Music by Mary J. Blige
The meal will include quail eggs from Pennsylvania and American Osetra caviar from the presidents adopted home state of Illinois, as well as 12 kinds of potatoes.
The salad course, featuring a winter garden salad of what the White House called petite mixed radishes, merlot lettuce and baby carrots inspired by the first ladys kitchen garden.
The main course will be a dry-aged rib eye of beef, brought in from a family farm in Colorado and topped with blue cheese from Vermont.
For dessert, there will be a chocolate malted cake with bittersweet chocolate from Mr. Obamas birthplace of Hawaii, accompanied by Florida tangerines and Pennsylvania vanilla ice cream.
There will also be lavender shortbread cookies, fudge from Vermont maple syrup and orange zest-dusted cotton candy.
Wow, Michelle surely has class!
** IN YOUR FACE, AMERICA!! **
Ya ever notice that all the “entertainment” at these functions are black?
Hey, the royal dog-minders have to do something for fun.
“’Comrades!’ he cried. ‘You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely, comrades,’ cried Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, ‘surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?’”
How do you sit at that table?
Let the peasents eat ALPO!
Apparently nothing is too good or expensive for their dogs, too.
A great book. Should be required reading of all high schoolers.
Hey Michelle! Get your d***** dogs off of OUR chairs!
The older I get, the more I appreciate Orwell’s wisdom.
When Nancy obtained donated china for the White House, the MSM became unhinged.
When China bought the White House for Clinton, the MSM went mute.
Thats the good thing as a President, I can do whatever I want
WHO ON EARTH would plan an outdoor “TENT” dinner in February in DC????? That’s the judgment of these people...sheesh.
This is not a joke. This is obviously how these dogs eat every day in the White House.
