Apparently, there is no story small enough for the right to try and discredit the President with. Prominent conservative blog Ace of Spades really lays into Barack Obama for, of all things, ordering pizza. I wish I was kidding. Unfortunately, he left out some important facts. Here's the thrust of Ace of Spades' Pizza-Gate: What a douchetool.
How much does Obama love his pizza? So much that he is willing to fly a chef 860 miles to Washington D.C. to make him a personal pizza.
When you're the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do - even if that means flying a chef 860 miles. Chris Sommers, 33, jetted into Washington from St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday with a suitcase of dough, cheese and pans to to prepare food for the Obamas and their staff.
He had apparently been handpicked after the President had tasted his pizzas on the campaign trail last autumn.
Hey, you guys know what says you are really sincere about this whole Global Warming thing that you want to use to justify an economy crushing cap and trade program? Jetting a dude across the country to make you a freaking pie.
He goes on to suggest that Obama is flouting the recession with this extravagance, and suggests a local pizzeria for the President to use.

They can try to blow it off all they want but the fact is that flying in a pizza chef is highly instructive about the personality who did it. Very babyish...extremely immature.
A little slip of the finger. My apologies.
“then he turns around and does this.”
He gives his all for the poor, forgotten members of society.
I’ve seen you post this example several times on this issue with Obama.
Can you please explain the difference between having a food item shipped in and flying a chef in to cook the bbq?
Maybe? Maybe you can handle that slight but oh so important difference in detail.
I’ll bet Barama throws away the crust, and gets pineapple on his pie ;)
Flying somebody 860 miles to make you a pizza is beyond extravagant.
That depends on who paid the air fare.
If the Government paid the air fare, that is inexcusable.
If the pizza man paid his own air fare, that is very cheap and very smart advertising for himself.
Meanwhile we are being scolded to only eat food grown locally.
So, the left justifies this with ‘carbon credits’? Ace of Spades story still has merit. Nobody refuted anything in it. Pizza Pi for the discriminating socialist.
That was my first post ever on this issue.
Even if Bush had someone flown in on their own dime he would have been criticized.
I would have to add that it also fits very neatly into Hussein’s inflated, self-important, messianic delusions he harbors for himself.
What? You mean Obama did this at taxpayer expense?
“In fact, his restaurant buys carbon credits from a wind farm in Colorado.”
Proving that the restaurant will fall for anything.
How nice. That fact really brings a tear to my eye. If only we had more leaders that appreciated the fact that a restaurant buys carbon credits. That would make us all feel warm and fuzzy inside, like the idiot leftists.
It's not one pie. He flew out to make a bunch of pies for a White House dinner party of 140.
Libs exaggerate like this all the time.
Wasn’t the 2 point whatever percent that Zero won by said to be a “landslide”?
I don’t care that much about the pizza, EXCEPT that he’s fiddling while our country and Capt Phillips burn, figuritively speaking
Why be apologetic? I like calling out for a pizza, but this is ridiculous.
Yes, it was.
It was an “annointing”, not an election.
Apparently not.
Still, he has a lot of nerve when he talks to me about being wasteful.
