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.

Broccoli can be done deluxe style. Green Giant is one company that does this. What was really interesting, however, is how Bummer wolfed down the two aides.

Like my father says, “You’ll see his TRUE colors once he’s out of office. You haven’t seen anything yet.”

Unless he gets so frustrated with the virtually inevitable GOP takeover that he jumps off a bridge or sumfin.

He didn’t want the suckers, excuse me, I mean donors and supporters, to see aides cutting up his meat for him.

Or the Imperial Food Tasters.

"Obama supporters pay $30,000 each for dinner with the President, but he eats alone in another room"

Sounds like a variation on an old vaudeville gag, "0bama supporters paid $30,000 each for dinner, but didn't get to eat with Mr. 0bama, those paying only $15,000 had to eat with Mr. 0bama."

Yes, yes he does.

“lots of rich Liberals. Where?re all the rich Right wingers. We?re supposed to represent the rich yet we be hard pressed to name them.”

That would make a good campaign ad.

Because evil people want one of two things, money or power. Once they have a lot of one, they want the other.

[9YearLurker]

You are right, in that they’re mostly happy to be schmoozing with the other $30K donors.

nope, that's their normal menu...Chewie has this thing for lobster....

[Carley]

He wanted to feed his teleprompter in private?

I’m holding a fund raiser for myself. You can dine “with” me for only $1000 on August 8th. Of course, you’ll have to find your own place to eat a fantastic meal anywhere in the world, since I will actually be eating at home with the family that day and we don’t want any company. So feel free to eat that day but remember to send me $1000. If you want, I can write out a few encouraging words and post them here on FR if you are so inclined to want to read them.

Your father sounds like a wise man.

I forget the impetus for my words, but about a year ago I predicted this guy would slowly vanish from public and become an electron, seen on TV and youtube, but not so much in public.

The Max Headroom president?

I was wondering why his aides each looked like they had one leg shorter than the other.
