The Obama Diet Not Just Arugula
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?

Hey, the same thing the wife packed for my lunch today!
What does PETA have to say about this?
Dems are off limits to PETA.
He’s on FOX now and he obviously likes to eat pie...that’s what he said..he likes all pie...esp sweet potato pie...
Healthy Lungs.
I thought Iranian Caviar was illegal in the US?
It isn’t too often I want to be a Lobster.
Iranian caviar sells for about $300 an ounce retail, not Waldorf-Astoria room services prices.

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.

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.
This needs to be an ad. Show the people what happens to the money you give to the Obama’s. Waldorf, lobster and caviar. Not elitist my a$$!
Were there any preconditions set on that Iranian caviar?
I am going to start a collection for ya. To get ya a remote controlled TV. Happiness will be yours at the press of a button.
And Him liking pie is an obvious lie. Unless he is being forced. And that I can believe.
He also said.....(freep mail)
Is this the same Michelle Obama who told the rest of black america not to strive for the middle class?
