typical #$%&% marxist - exploit people’s problems to gain control and then live like a king while making sure the people think their problems are being solved by the king..... i.e. Castro is very rich while “his” people live in poverty.

Isn't there a law about transporting food across state lines?
If there isn't there should be.

Did barak leave a tip for the pizza delivery dude?

I still say, this guy's restaurant should be boycotted.

An organization that serves as a watchdog on the U.S. government for American taxpayers has launched a campaign to uncover exactly how much tax money is being spent on parties at the Obama White House.

The president has shown a penchant for lavish galas.....

Now, Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch, told WND today he’s seeking information about the partying in the White House since the Obamas moved in

As WND reported this week, Freedom Watch is seeking information from the federal government on who had input into bailout legislation and whether they got anything in return.

Klayman said the reports of the partying at the White House, “with the likes of Steve Wonder and other high priced entertainment stars,” will be the focus of document requests being submitted to the General Services Administration. The requests will seek to determine how much taxpayer money is being used.

“Barack and Michelle Obama have been throwing taxpayer funded parties nearly every night with their ‘friends’ and supporters, with Michelle Obama even exhorting them not to ‘break’ White House property,” Klayman’s announcement said.

“This party atmosphere sends the wrong message to the American people. As the Obama-Clinton crowd party on, the American people are suffering greatly,” Klayman said.

“It was right to criticize corporate execs for using taxpayer bailout money on bonuses and corporate junkets. In the face of this criticism, it is an outrage for Barack and Michelle Obama to party on, as Rome burns. It’s like throwing a party at a funeral,” he said.

According to a report by the news and commentary website Politico, many of the parties have been just that – parties, not political and government meet

“Since moving into their new digs, the first couple has hosted a half-dozen gatherings – from bipartisan cocktail receptions to a public open house to the more intimate Super Bowl party ... ending many of their days past midnight,” the report said.

The report quoted White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers saying the Obamas want to “replicate the same kind of environment they had in Chicago.”

“If there was a party or an event [in Chicago], they were there,” the report quoted “a friend” saying.

But is anything of government value accomplished?

Insiders said in the report that the Obama social schedule is busier than any other previous occupants of the White House.

“We haven’t seen this kind of entertaining in a really long time,” Dee Dee Myers, former White House press secretary to Bill Clinton, said in the report.

According to an ABC report, many of the parties have been on Wednesdays, and the report confirmed one featured a Stevie Wonder concert.

“This is a pretty big house, so we get lonely,” the report said Obama announced. “It’s hard for me to move around out there some times so I got to bring the world to me.” Published reports said the Jonas Brothers were on hand in the White House for a special event for the Obama daughters, Sasha and Malia, on inauguration night.

Dinners have featured lavish menus including “Celery Soup, Wild Mushroom Crisps, Steelhead Salmon with Citrus sauce, Crispy Spinach, Toasted Saffron Couscous Pearls, Baby Iceberg lettuce with Maytag Bleu Cheese and Yogurt ranch dressing and for dessert, Milk Chocolate velvet cake” – all served on gold-rimmed china.

In the meantime, this Catholic Church in Pa. was told they couldn't sell home-made pies at their fish-fry dinners without a license.

Thanks for finding the link.

"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" Cake is for royalty. Brioche was supposedly the term used and described a flour-and-water paste that was "caked" onto the interiors of the ovens and baking pans. The modern equivalent is the oil-and-flour mixture applied to non-Teflon cake pans. Exactly what we'll be left eating when 0 is done with his Change.

If were racist, I would say something like; boy he is the N word rich.

But since, I am not, I won't.

This is the Pizza chef flying his "stuff" to Washington...

I wonder if it was the pizza that caught Obama's attention?

This is very serious... he keeps claiming to be “Chicago” and more specifically “Southside” and he flies in a St. Louis pizza maker? Chicago style pizza is very different than St. Louis style pizza. He has betrayed his fake “Southside” roots.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK"
The Obama, May 2008, Roseburg, Oregon

Lead by example, you filthy stinking commie cretin. Not only is the King eating as much as he wants, but he wasting tens of thousands of dollars doing it. What a despicable piece of human debris.

Ya know, we now have a “food of the week” featured in our church bulletin.

That’s what we are collecting for the food pantry.

So far we’ve done rice, boxed meals, pasta and spaghetti sauce ... just getting started. 18 percent unemployment out here.

Think how much spaghetti and Hamburger Helper the food pantry could have purchased with money spent on those pizzas.
