President Barack Obama is coming to the Motor City for a $1 million pizza party being thrown for him compliments of Denise Ilitch, daughter of Little Caesars’ founders Mike and Marian Ilitch. Ilitch is opening her home April 18 for the fundraiser where movers and shakers are being asked to pony up thousands to add to his re-election coffer while getting a chance to rub shoulders with the most powerful man on the planet. “I’m honored to have been asked,” by the Obama campaign to host,” Ilitch said of the event she and husband, Jim Scalici, will hold at their Metro Detroit home. She made the comments on “Michigan Matters” when asked about media reports.
When asked what she planned to serve, she said: “Pizza! But, we’ll be serving it on sterling silver plates!”
The price of admission isn’t for those on a budget. $40,000 buys access to the cocktail reception, formal photo with Obama and dinner. $10,000 buys dinner and a photo.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I can’t stand BHO but I don’t go so far as having him being forced to eat Little Caesar’s Pizza.
... scratching Little Caesar’s pizza off the fast-food list ...
Just another reason to just say “no no” to “pizza pizza”.
Little Caesar is throwing a party for Big Caesar.
Isn’t that special.
Yep
The event is the latest twist in the political relationship between Obama and Ilitch, eldest of the Ilitch’s seven children. Mike and Marian also own the Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Tigers, Fox Theatre, Motor City Casino and more. The family is among the wealthiest and most influential in Michigan with an empire worth billions.
Nice to know these good people and what they control in the self-destructing motor city.
Have never tried Little Caesar’s pizza and now I never will. Could switch car insurance to Progressive - nope, ain’t happening. That Coca Cola product I’ve been buying for the past few years? Off my shopping list. It’s going to have to be Gatorade from now on. The power of choice is a wonderful thing, n’est pas?
No more “Pizza, pizza” for us.
Those hot’n ready pizzas were nothing but $5 hunks of bread anyhow. But we won’t be buying from them anymore.
Well at least he won’t be getting good Detroit pizza like Buddy’s, Shields, or Cloverleaf.
I've no problem with this. A rich person can spend their money ANY way they want. As long as this isn't taxpayer financed . .... have at it.
Mooch likes pizza, so I'm sure we'll hear another lecture of "Do as I say, not as I do".
Detroit being a ghost town I bet most of the Loony Tune mob will be from out of town.
Will they have lobster pizza?.
Damn,...now I have to boycott another product I never use.
We (too) frequently pick up a Little Cesar’s pizza on the way home from work. It’s fast, hot, and filling. But no more. It does nothing but make me fat, and I won’t put a dime in the pockets of someone who wants to cram Obama down our throats for another 4 years.
Nice to know these good people and what they control in the self-destructing motor city.
When Obama steps in and renovates their city,
they will be trillionaires.
Hmmm... Something appropriate about that.
>> Damn,...now I have to boycott another product I never use.
LOL...
