Guests attending Michelle Obama’s 50th birthday party at the White House later this month can look forward to “a little Dougie” but definitely not dinner.
Word’s out that the lucky VIPs invited to fete Mrs. Obama at a “Snacks & Sips & Dancing & Dessert” party have been advised to dust off their dancing shoes and, more strictly, “to eat before you come.”
While it’s always nice to give the stiletto sporting crowd a heads-up, the East Wing’s “EBYC” directive has some folks in the party planning business scratching their heads.
“I don’t think it’s rude, but I do think it’s a little . . . different than what people are used to. How’s that for putting it delicately?” joked Lizzie Post, great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post and co-author of “Great Get-Togethers: Casual Gatherings and Elegant Parties at Home.”

Have another lemon!
Didnt she have the family dog at the handicapped kids party who knocked down some poor sweet 4 year old?
What is wrong with this woman?
the dog knocked down the only white child...you tell me...
The little girl wasn’t the only white child. In fact....very few blacks...unusual for Michelle
Why don’t they just say “Hors D’oevres” and “Wine”?
Functions hosted on base by the Missile Wing always advised that they would serve “light refreshments.” That pretty much made it clear you would need to eat before you show.
My overseas unit were directed to bring a flight to march in a parade for the deactivation of a numbered Air Force activity. Afterwards, our First Sergeant advised us that we were specifically “Not Invited” for refreshments afterwards. This isn’t that crass, but it’s really trying...
Don’t have a party if you can’t at minimum meet your guests’ basic bodily needs. Seriously. You don’t need anything fancy, but even if she’s calling it snacks and cocktails, you serve enough little chicken wings or other protein rich hors doeuvres that your guests can fill up. You don’t need seating. Just enough protein snacks so that no one has to go hungry.
And it is the height of rudeness to tell guests not to arrive hungry. You might as well ask them to drink water before they arrive because there won’t be any beverages. Or to make sure their bladders and rectums are fully voided because the restrooms will be locked.
A party = sharing of nourishment (in many ways). Even at a college dorm party, guests should expect a passing of the bong and a reach into the party size Doritos bag. Come on, mooch.
Michelle says “Pay your respects, then get the hell out!”
Yes, i know. Im glad you corrected the poster
I would never have pointed out such a thing even if true, wouldn’t have noticed it, not being a racist
no class. dancing champagne and nibbles and snacks would have said it all.
The media and the culture are SO DEDICATED to the Obama Cult, that even in the face of obvious disrespect, they refuse to acknowledge the truth that is as plain as the nose on their face.
A sickness it is spreading over the land.
This is so the Mooch can chow down like a starving dog in privacy before the event and then feign to nibble like Princess Grace while in the public eye.
Seriously, there seems to be something going on in the background of the Obama marriage.
I call that the foreground.
The man is gay. Rev. wright fixed him up with a Strong (mean looking) Black Woman to help him politically. And it looks like he was able to procreate once or maybe twice. But I doubt the drive is there for any intimacy.
Or perhaps the invitees have no knowledge of etiquette and would need specific direction. ie no class.
Rumors are Mooochelle and Barack are getting a divorce and that she will stay in the Washington area with the girls after his term is up while Barack will move to Hawaii to shack up with a boy friend of his.
Now that he’s been elected twice it seems there is no longer any need to keep up the pretense, Barack will come out of the closet after his term is up it seems
Like her husband in the Presidency, she is an inexperienced buffoon who is still learning on-the-job.
Yeah, my guess is that the “important” people get dinner first. The hoi polloi can come later for the chips n dip.
Let’s Move!...towards the buffet table.
Shoot, this is possibly the only thing we could say that she was saving the taxpayers money. In a twisted sort of way.
