How much did this cost us, the American Taxpayer? I only ask because these 2 never seem to pay for anything...
I believe the Obamas paid for it - thats why the invitation encouraged guests to eat before they dropped by - no dinner was served.
The invite was funny:
**Michelle Obama wanted guests to know that dinner would not be served at her 50th birthday party. But instead of adding “light refreshments” or “cocktails and hors d’oeurves” to the invitation, she went with a very straight forward note to “eat before you come” – EBYC, for short.**
