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.

I prefer to call it a “coup”.
I double dog dare Obama to have a Pig Pickin’ at the White House... I’ll even buy the pig.
You have not lived a full life until you have had this experience.
If I’m reading the article right, it merely deals with the question of who paid the air faire. I would like to know how much the pizza cost the taxpayer.
No, the idiots actually voted.
We can’t call it a coup.
I’m exhausted by the unending insistence that Bush wasn’t legally president. I can’t stoop to their level.
I have family members that voted for him.
He’s a pig and so is his wife. Users, that’s all they have ever been and all they will ever be. It damn well better not be on our dime. I imagine his puppet masters paid the tab.
We know the left won’t say anything about obama,
____________
Oh yes they do sometimes. I know 3 people that voted for him that emailed me the Pizza story and said that he was out of control.
I think he paid for it himself.
He can afford it. He is the King.
“No one cares, unless of course he is using our money.”
The President does not pay for his own food. I couldn’t give a crap if he paid a billion dollars and had it flown in from Kenya if it was his own money.
Maybe the guy put anchovies on it... with a side of salmonella. Of course we’d never be that lucky.
So, he flew from St. Louis to Washington with dough in his suitcase for 140 guests? MMMMNnnnnahh. Sounds like damage control.
I wonder if Barack will bow to this pizza guy?
How convenient that this eco-pizza man was seeing his girlfriend in DC - sounds too hogwashy to me, too pat an answer, and after the fact. What kind of climate criminal has a girlfriend that he needs to expel this much CO2 to see her - if he really cared about the environment, or as much as these assclowns lecture the rest of the Earth, he would have discharged her long ago. The Brit greenies used to flambe Tony Blair for taking air flights for his family vacations. The fact is the White House called and he just so happened to have to see his girlfriend the same day - sorry I am not buying this or anything that Joe Biden says.
This is the $200 dollar haircut and shutting down LAX.
My mistake, I thought I saw you posting on another about Bush flying in BBQ.
Yes, he would have been criticized no matter what he did.
But again, my apologies. Just saw a few posts about how Bush was no better for having BBQ flown in and I am thinking “How is that the same??”
“In fact, his restaurant buys carbon credits from a wind farm in Colorado.
Not only that, they recycle about 75% of their waste.
Not only that, John himself is going into the green building business. You couldn’t find a worse case for environmental hypocrisy.
Finally, Barack Obama isn’t saddling the American taxpayer with the tab for this feast. He’s picking up the tab, for local ingredients, out of his own pocket.”
I stand ignorant... I know to read a story before I respond. It was a stupid idea for the conservatives to make a big deal. Let’s make a big deal that he’s botching the Somali pirate deal instead.
We could also make fun of the idiot green guy. Maybe this was put out there by the administration because they knew we would bite the pizza? Who knows. Shame on me anyway.
My apologies...
If Obama paid for the whole thing himself, I don’t have a problem.
The problem really is, being a POTUS who has chastized all of us for having too much as opposed to the rest of the world, and then living an extravagant life himself. He needs to set the tone by practicing what he preaches.
That is what I take offense to. This man has never done much to earn it, nor has he done much in his life that would earn him the job of POTUS and a blank check from American taxpayers.
Obama needs to spend some time being a president. Like getting behind the desk and doing some real work. We are sick of his celeb status.
Sort of reminds you of Bill Clinton’s $3,000 haircut, no matter how you slice it.
the apologetic article disgust me. Oh its all to do about nothing, oh look at those right wingers criticising obama over something as little as this. Its frivalous, no matter who’s paying for it. While million goes unemployed, Obama dine on the best
Is Armand’s the place down in old town Alexandria? I loved their pizza when I was living there in the eighties.
Its still wasteful and hypocritical on his part when he chastises the people for lesser indiscretions.
Heyup.
And for the record, I will criticize what I damn well please about him. He is in the public arena.
The bill, of course, was sent to American people who are having a difficult time staying employed.
