Can the Obama administration be anymore tone deaf? After pushing his $1.1 trillion Generational Theft Act of 2009 through the House last night, the White House apparently decided to throw itself a swank cocktail party.

The article says $100 per serving. Unless we are eating at the Big Texan in Amarillo, a serving is about 6 to 8 ounces of steak, so it is more like $200 per pound.
Supposedly, the Kobe beef cattle get fed a diet of beer, receive warm oil massages (great work if you can get it, eh?) and generally avoid anything that would make their meat muscles toughen.
