So what did the high rollers get for their money Thursday night after ponying up $28,500 each for dinner with Barack Obama?
The Thrash dinner was part two of Thursday's fundraising blitz that garnered $1.6 million for Democratic coffers. An afternoon reception with Obama at Ginni and Richard Mithoff's drew more than 250 who paid either $1,000 or $2,300, the larger figure earning a photo with Obama.

Exactly how the Obama presidency would run things, lavish expensive food for the elite, fried chicken for the peasants. BTW, if they tasted MY fried chicken, they would have skipped the sliced beef tenderloin.

"The menu began with seafood martinis (martini glasses sumptuously laden with crawfish, shrimp and lump crabmeat) and continued with a lavish cold supper of sliced beef tenderloin, curried chicken salad with mango chutney and cashews, roasted fennel potato salad, grilled asparagus and tomatoes caprese. Dessert was help-yourself with an array of sweets served on two-tiered silver stands."
What was the Carbon Footprint for all this???? Did they do an environmental impact study on all this food? How can they eat from the oceans when the oceans are dying?? Free range chicken??? BEEF??? What about the starving children Bush has created in THE IRAQ??? OMG!

I'd answer your question, but I'd just be guessing.....Salsa?
