Another Exclusive Party at W.H.—at Taxpayer Expense
The Weekly Standard ^ | Apr 9, 2013 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 04/09/2013 7:58:54 AM PDT by LucianOfSamasota

On Barack and Michelle Obama's schedule for today, this event is listed:

7:30PM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY host a concert celebrating Memphis Soul music as part of their “In Performance at the White House” series; THE PRESIDENT delivers remarks

As the White House has previously announced, Justin Timberlake (who will be making his White House debut), Al Green, Ben Harper, Queen Latifah, Cyndi Lauper, Joshua Ledet, Sam Moore, Charlie Musselwhite, Mavis Staples, and others will be performing at the exclusive event.

But while the performers are known, the guest list for the private event has not yet been released.

One imagines it's a tough ticket to come by. To attend any event at the White House, one must be invited. (The White House is now closed for public access by members of the general public.) And especially this one, with Hollywood and musical stars--and with remarks by the president of the United States.

"The peasants are revolting my dear."

"They certainly are!"

"At least they are no longer traipsing through our manor house every day."

"You can thank my brilliant Sequestration idea for that."

“Is Obama sending AF-1 to pick them each up?”

Last I heard, it’s all booked up lately for politicizing Newton CT and toting “grieving” family members around.

For the Fraud and Big Media, the ends justify the means, with extreme prejudice, bigotry and hate.

They are not and never will be nobility.

I can only conclude that due to youth many have not been taught about Reconstuction in the Post Civil War South. Many of the receipts showing the expenses incurred by the legislatures, imposed on the southern states, in that time frame are on the internet. Go look. There is no difference between those legislatures and the current administration. Life was and is one big party at taxpayer expense.

Meanwhile, funding for the Blue Angels has been cut, so they won’t be touring this year.

Yet the Obama family vacation to Hawaii cost about 1/4th of the Blue Angels yearly budget and on the eve of NK’s announced a Missile launch, Obama is hosting a star-studded gala at the WH at taxpayer expense.

OTOH, San Francisco will lose Millions of dollars from the cancellation of Fleet Week as the Blue Angels would draw 1 Million spectators and would bring in extra revenues to Hotels, Motels, Bars, Restaurants, etc...

FUBO

If I were to post my true feelings regarding these charlatans, I would be getting a visit from the Secret Service.

And I’m sure they wouldn’t be limited to 10 round mags either.

The Obama tribe is looting America like the Katrina looters stripped New Orleans.

They are nothing but Chi-town grifters who got into the neighbors home and are stuffing their pockets with anything not bolted down.

Just said the same, I;m so sick of our side which lets this self imposed royal family close our house, while they have vacations, concerts, dinners etc.

It’s a frigging outrage and if anyone on the left and the media which are the same today has no problem with this or point to Bush then they are nothing but hypocritical and only care about letters after a persons name like D [should be S for socialist] and don;t give a damn about the country or others who live in this country

I could never print what I think on here about these two people.

What nearly pisses me off as much is how our side is not doing a damn thing about any of this or even going after the media

Why is our leadership not out there calling all the networks for a meeting or press conference and saying why are you the media not pointing out this lavish lifestyle you would if this was a republican and why the hell is anyone outside the white house protesting this crap.

Telling me that there are no conservatives in DC who can protest and call the networks or are they too busy with their reaching out at their elitist cocktail parties and why isn’t anyone from talk radio taking a trip out there and chaining themselves to the fence and demanding the house , OUR HOUSE TO BE OPEN

As a resident of Memphis this offends me. However as Memphis is Democrat controlled, the local Democrat zombies are likely happy to fund this extravagance(sp?).
