It was the tea party the Obamas just couldnt 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 Obamas 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 Hatters 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. Burtons own Mad Hatter, the actor Johnny Depp, presided over the scene in full costume, standing up on a table to welcome everyone in character.

And another thing!
Each ‘according to his own desires’ makes Man his own god: by definition, Satanism.
This, I believe the current Administration’s actions and policies most assuredly demonstrate as their core beliefs.
Fox had a link to that story, that link had a itty bitty photo of 0 he was wearing that same sweater(yet different photo) so I am thinking yes.
That evil stuff on those McDonald's Band French Fries!
Oh the Huge-Manatee!
Let um eat cookies or mushrooms....
This is top be expected. The fool, obama, is nothing more than a gold-digger with an open checkbook.
So, is the East Room the same as the Dining Room? I guess I read it to mean that there was a celebration in one room for military kids etc, but that unbeknownst to the reporters etc, there was the Alice party being set up. But, I am thinking I must be wrong. lol
Someone will rise to the occasion. They have to work up to it, but it must be soon..
thanks afraidfortherepublic.

It reminds me of the famous freak portrait taken at Lisa Minelli's wedding...she with her faggy husband, the aging Elizabeth Taylor and that creme de la freaks, Michael Jackson.
Even Obama looks like an avid Count Dracula in this photo......happily rarin' to fly into my bedroom to suck away my last vial of money.

She's supposed to be the Morton Salt girl.
MO looks better than usual....
BO can’t hide his femininity.
Well, the book apparently came out and made it public so I guess they had to join in.
Who authorized that ghastly picture?
Has anyone heard anything more about the book by Kantor?
I wonder if it is a tell all hit piece or a love fest.
I’d pay good money to hear some trash on the trash.
Well, Obama had white hair this morning. It really changed his looks. He looked like an old family retainer.
Rush was talking about this. The media obviously covered for the Obamas. I agree that it came out now, rather than close to the election.
Good one!
