The Obama Diet — Not Just Arugula [Lisa Schiffren]

The "people's ticket" ordered a little snack from room service at the Waldorf, as the N.Y. Post's page Six reports:

While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne, a tipster told Page Six.

I'd guess the bill for that snack came in at around $350. Iranian caviar ain't cheap — even if you negotiate for it yourself. What the hell . . . Your campaign contributions (soon to be your tax dollars) at work.

Does anyone else remember Gerald Ford toasting his own English Muffins in the family quarters of the White House? Michelle's style is a little more Leona Helmsley, who's ad campaign featured a picture of herself in one of her hotels, with the slogan, "a hotel fit for a Queen." Can you do that at the White House?

The tab for this had to be over $1,000.

Iranian caviar sells for about $300 an ounce retail, not Waldorf-Astoria room services prices.

http://www.markys.com/caviar/customer/home.php?cat=284&gclid=CLSl48ncrpYCFQE0xgoddQ9fKw

That was probably at least $500 on the menu, if not more.

A bottle of Dom is about $125 retail, and typically alcohol is uplifted at least 4X in a restaurant, so that is another $500.

The rest was probably another $250.

Michelle, I hope you were wearing your excessively large, iced-out, spinning clock necklace when you ordered all this. No matter how many chedda you drop on your food, you won’t be a respected rapper unless you’ve got an excessively large, iced-out, spinning clock necklace. Better get with the program, or you’ll only get 95% of the black vote.

*many/much

Selecting the proper street slang always leaves me with a few grammatical errors. Don’t be hatin’.

While this is illuminating as well as gleefully snarky, a more important and frightening analysis linked to WSJ by Peter Robinson from your link demands everyone’s attention - a Must-Read.

Describes a perfect storm of Noah proportions come the Obamination.

The rich make the best socialists. It keeps the rest of us from getting where they are, thus guaranteeing the elites that they remain the elites.
