This tacky monstrosity can't belong to Obama, can it?
Maybe this is just wild conjecture here -- and we all know how much everyone loves opinions in Serious Journalism -- but isn't Barack Obama's birthday cake hideously ugly? This is not at all in line with Obama's sleek, skinny-tie persona, and frankly, we're shocked.
It looks like the Cake Boss's disgruntled ex karate-chopped the frosting bag.
Decorated with the presidential seal, the layer cake also is accompanied by various pies, including pecan, huckleberry, Key lime and coconut cream, plus a cheesecake.
How'd this happen? Michelle wears $540 Lanvin sneakers to plant organic veggies in the White House garden. The girls switch outfits aboard Air Force One to arrive in Paris in crisp khaki trench coats.
Sure, Barack did have that one little slip up with the mom jeans, but we're ready to move past that.
This is not a family that courts cavities via swirls of Harris Teeter grocery store icing and fondant seals propped up against the edge of frosted daisies and blue garlands.
The Obamas should be celebrating with Baked & Wired cupcakes topped high with icing and those little silver balls that look really cool but kinda hurt everyone's teeth nonetheless.
And then there's the "44." We all know he's the 44th president, but come on, it's his 48th birthday. Are we celebrating his birthday, or celebrating that he's president? Wait, don't answer that.
Michelle, Malia and Sasha, plus more than 30 staffers, sang "Happy Birthday" to the president at a celebration in the Roosevelt Room. Now, hush up, birthers, or you're not getting any cake.
Bad assumption — he is NOT a stylish president. Therefore, the cake is perfect. Tacky? You bet? Presumptuous? And then some.... Over-inflated? You got that. Arrogant and effete? That too.
Imagine that crowd chowing down on the official seal of the US.
Symbolic.
Looks like a VFW hat in a 4th of July parade.
Well, it’s his arteries.
It looks like Michelle’s designer did the cake.
What, no studded belt?
It looks exactly like the kind of cake I’d expect obama to have. The cake that Glenn Beck had for Obama was more fitting—red frosting, yellow star.
And his arteries must be as functional as styrofoam columns.
LOL! You’re right!
Still the King and Queen of tacky and pompous I see...
Someone needs to leave that cake out in the rain.
Suits him perfectly, IMHO.
BLING BLING!
Here's what Michelle wore.
Exactly.
LOL! You should put that on with one of her hideous dresses
That looks delicious. Still, it should read “1st Usurper”, not “44th President”.
How intimate, 30 staffers. Sort of like having the wait staff at Outback sing the birthday song to you. Reminds me of Lumbergh's birthday party in Office Space - birthday greetings from those who are just here for the cake.
I like Glenn Beck’s proposal for a birthday cake: a simple red rectangle with a yellow star on it. You could add a hammer and sickle, too.
