It was the tea party the Obamas just couldn’t resist.
A White House “Alice in Wonderland” costume ball — put on by Johnny Depp and Hollywood director Tim Burton — proved to be a Mad-as-a-Hatter idea that was never made public for fear of a political backlash during hard economic times, according to a new tell-all.
“The Obamas,” by New York Times correspondent Jodi Kantor, tells of the first Halloween party the first couple feted at the White House in 2009. It was so over the top that “Star Wars” creator George Lucas sent the original Chewbacca to mingle with invited guests.
The book reveals: any official announcement of the glittering affair — coming at a time when Tea Party activists and voters furious over the lagging economy, 10-percent unemployment rate, bank bailouts and Obama’s health-care plan were staging protests — quickly vanished down the rabbit hole.

However, the White House made certain that more humble Halloween festivities earlier that day — for thousands of Washington-area schoolkids — were well reported by the press corps.
Then the Obamas went inside, where an invitation-only affair for children of military personnel and White House administrators unfolded in the East Room.

Tim Burton decorated (WH Dining Room) “in his signature creepy-comic style. His film version was about to be released, and he had turned the room into the Mad Hatter’s tea party, with a long table set with antique-looking linens, enormous stuffed animals in chairs, and tiered serving plates with treats like bone-shaped meringue cookies,” reports the book, which The Post purchased at a Manhattan bookstore.
“Fruit punch was served in blood vials at the bar. Burton’s own Mad Hatter, the actor Johnny Depp, presided over the scene in full costume, standing up on a table to welcome everyone in character.”

This is so evil on so many levels.
The largest internet child porn ring, recentle busted, was called “Wonderland”.
The implications for the Obama Administration are vast.
It goes far beyond weird costumes and drinking “blood” from vials.
Keep in mind, they were holding hostage dozens of kids of military men, while their dads were far away fighting foreign wars. An ideal pervfest.
N. korea’s kim’s do the same thing...only they point!
It's all about the money honey...all about the money. One feeds the other and they all go laughing to the bank.
Wonder what fruit got squeezed for that?
Reggie Love?
The author, Jodi Kantor, better get some serious bodyguards.
And one of those mirrors-on-a-stick to look under her car for bombs.
The only female in the White Dacha, Alice, is 0b0z0.
Blood vials, eh?
Bottoms up, Nazdarovia!!
0b0z0’s bottom is always up, he must be in heat.
Put the two group photos together and it looks like a reunion of the Addams Family.
Noticeably missing from the photos are Uncle Fester and Lurch.....however Joe Biden and John Kerry were curled up fast asleep inside the Mad Hatter's tea pot and no one could find them.

I love Michelle’s outfit, but I wonder if Barak is wearing Mom Jeans?
This story just proves once again that the Fourth Estate is the Fifth Column.
Someone who is tech savvy should put together a site that chronicles with photos, stories and videos the things that the Obamas and their people have done and said over the last three, four years. It should all be in one place neatly categorized so that everyone can learn from it.
It just needs to get out to the average American.
He's suppose to look like a Mr. Rogers type. They present him to their groupies as being the perfect father and family man, squeaky clean and wholesome. The father all those degenerated hippy types secretly wish they had.
