The big spenders who shelled out $30,400 a head for dinner with President Obama at the Four Seasons restaurant and at Anna Wintour's house didn't actually break any bread with him.

After starting Tuesday night at a dinner for 60 high-rolling Democratic supporters hosted by hedge-fund billionaire Marc Lasry, Obama headed to a private room at the Four Seasons to wolf down steak, potatoes and broccoli with two aides before heading to Wintour's Greenwich Village home.

Obama arrived at the Four Seasons at 5 p.m. Spies said he gave a short speech and schmoozed with 60 attendees, including Lasry and Joan Ganz Cooney, wife of Blackstone Group's Pete Peterson, and ex-Martha Stewart CEO Sharon Patrick, sitting briefly at each table before dining alone.

True...just ask Gennifer. :-)

President Obama’s French food tested by ‘taster’

(AFP) – Jun 7, 2009

PARIS (AFP) — A US “taster” tested the food being dished up to President Barack Obama at a dinner in a French restaurant, a waiter said Sunday.

“They have someone who tastes the dishes,” said waiter Gabriel de Carvalho from the “La Fontaine de Mars” restaurant where Obama and his family turned up for dinner on Saturday night.

“It wasn’t very pleasant for the cooks at first, but the person was very nice and was relaxed, so it all went well,” he said on the Itele news channel.

Asked by AFP to comment, the restaurant confirmed the report.

"This I know how to do"

translation..... read a teleprompter and lie.

I don't think he gets that a whole lot of people that fell for it the first time, are now really hacked off because they were duped and have now joined ranks with those who knew it was all B.S. 2 years ago and are now getting educated!

[penelopesire]

Did you catch this new bow from Obama yet? Finally a leader worthy of a bow....LOL

[maggief]

Who’s behind him? That may be the real story. LOL!

He has no friends.

Has anyone ever read a story about his boyhood friends? He is like Raymond Shaw.

“One table wanted to talk about politics, but a lot of people wanted to talk about stimulating jobs in the fashion industry,”

Really?!?

I imagine there were similar conversations at the court of Louis XVI.

So does the Queen.

They say money is the mother's milk of politics, but it's not. It's one hundred proof corn liquor.

He was pictured eating during Ramadan last year and he eats with Biden all the time. Biden is a grade-A infidel.

Oh, there you go bursting the boy's bubble, you big meany.

Of course, a simple Google search on Obama eating would have disabused him of his notion....

Stalin had fund-raising dinners?

Of course, you pay or Dear Leader kills your company.

The serfs need not be worried about “fashion”.

That's Miss Hell's department.

Soon we'll all be regular customers at Salvation Army or Goodwill. Know your place, you arrogant serf!

[Verginius Rufus]

“You pay or Dear Leader kills your company” sounds like something the Obama White House tells CEOs.

[chiefqc]

How many food tasters does he employ?

[aruanan]

The reason he ate alone is because the meat had to be halal.

How many food tasters does he employ?

Where do you think all those census workers went?

He obviously thinks he’s the Pope. I’ve read that Popes always dine alone. (not sure why) He probably resents that the SS doesn’t have cool Swiss Guard uniforms, too.

How do you say “nuveau riche” in Arabic?
