Obama supporters pay $30,000 each for dinner with the President, but he eats alone in another room

by editor on August 2, 2010

You shell out $30,000 each to have dinner with President Obama. Then you find out that his definition of “dinner with President Obama” means you eat in one room, but he eats alone in a different room of the same hotel.

How pissed do you think those $30,000 suckers are?

The New York Post has the disastrous dinner details:

obama-sharpton-dining

Sharpton: "They paid you $30,000 each and you didn't even eat with them?" Obama: "Have some more fried chicken, Al."

The big spenders who shelled out $30,400 a head for dinner with President Obama at the Four Seasons restaurant and at Anna Wintour’s house didn’t actually break any bread with him.

After starting Tuesday night at a dinner for 60 high-rolling Democratic supporters hosted by hedge-fund billionaire Marc Lasry, Obama headed to a private room at the Four Seasons to wolf down steak, potatoes and broccoli with two aides before heading to Wintour’s Greenwich Village home.

Obama arrived at the Four Seasons at 5 p.m. Spies said he gave a short speech and schmoozed with 60 attendees, including Lasry and Joan Ganz Cooney, wife of Blackstone Group’s Pete Peterson, and ex-Martha Stewart CEO Sharon Patrick, sitting briefly at each table before dining alone.

For $30,000, IHateTheMedia.com’s editor and administrator will not only eat dinner with you, we’ll pick you up, send our wives over to baby sit your kids, make some dandy little hors d’oeuvres (probably velveeta on Ritz crackers), wash the dishes, take you home, kiss you good night and let you get to third base.

And for $30,100, you can slide safe into home plate. If you know what we mean.

But wait a minute, you got to see Anna Wintour (publisher, mom, and liberal elitist snob), and if you showed up early got to see Anna kicking the latina waitress for using china plates instead of the politically correct Indian date palm serving dishes

Empty suit, empty promises and for a sissy, absolutely no class. Funnier still, he is too pompous to figure it out.

There’s actually a benign explantion for this: BHO doesn’t eat in front of anyone because he doesn’t eat. He’s had a ghastly weightloss. During yesterday’s photos from the morning and afternoon basketball events, he looked positively ghoulish. I made a video on this change before those photos but I have one as recent as friday night in it. Click on my name if you want to see his weightloss over a year’s span.
Can’t weight for the MSM to notice.

Perhaps the Men’s Health coverboy cannot make it through a long meal with his cigs.

He has also grayed terribly. My Mom and I were wondering if he was going to start dying his hair before year’s end. Considering all the vacation time he is getting one has to wonder why is he all stressed out about? Everything he wants Congress to do they have done… It could be something called conscience…

Being a heterosexual I wouldn’t want to slide into home with the editor and admin but will their wives play catch for $31K? If you know what I mean.

Editor and Administrator are lucky men whose exceptionally hot wives are worth far more than $31K.

They are getting the cheap food and he doesn’t want them to see he is eating the $200.00 a pound beef. He doesn’t eat meals with the little folks. All he cares about is that their check cleared and is in his account.

No No No. I heard the cost was only $10,000, but you could pay the extra $20k to not have to listen to him talk while you ate.

And the wives will be cool with this? … I am thinking not…

lol

These people are idiots and if it was me (I wouldn’t bother to begin with), I would ask for my money back. What a great way to fleece people… stupid people.

Obama reminds me more and more of Louis the XIV. Louis the XIV created these types of rules and separations between himself and others, all part of the religion that he was created about himself. This mystique that he is trying to create was all part of Louis’ repertoire as well.

Before he died Louis said “apres moi, le deluge”. After me, the flood… After years (he is still the longest reigning European monarch in history) of (one can arguably say) mismanaging the coffers of the French govt and people and allow great deal of corruption to take place, Louis knew that his actions will bring disastrous consequences to his future generations and the country. Indeed less than 80 years later the last of his descendants were beheaded or killed due to mistreatment, disease and imprisonment or humiliated and sent away embittered and died childless. All due to a lack of desire to change things around and LISTEN to what the people are saying and what they want. The French Revolution was a horrible event and even know look at the French. All I am saying is that Obama is a type of a person that can bring disastrous consequences that will be part of many generations to come.

Save your virginity, Curtis… it’s worth a lot more than just 30 grand!
Besides, you should get a lot more than just dinner for that!

30 grand would get me that nice looking Nissan Frontier PRO-4X that I’ve been wanting…or maybe even be a good down payment on the badass F-150 FX4…
And I get to stimulate the economy too, and keep some of my fellow Americans in the truck manufacturing plants in Tennessee (Nissan) or Detroit (Ford) employed for a little bit longer.
