No word on whether President Obama order Grey Poupon on his caviar
When President Obama went to a burger joint, the media reported it as if he had walked on water. When he took his daughters out for ice cream, the media went into full orgasmic ecstacy. After all, this is The Greatest President in history, and yet he eats the same food the rest of us eat. He’s not just Everyman, he’s EverySuperman.
Somehow, the media missed President Obama’s recent lunch with Russian puppetmaster Vladimir Putin. Luckily, it was reported by the Jamestown Foundation’s Eurasia Monitor: reports:
Obama had a “Russian style” working brunch with Putin with smoked beluga and black caviar. At present, the commercial production, sale and consumption of beluga or black caviar is illegal in Russia to protect endangered species. It was speculated that Putin served Obama Iranian-made caviar, which is legal (Interfax, July 8). Of course, in Russia, laws do not apply to the top nomenklatura, so the delicacy Obama consumed was most likely Russian-made and contraband. It is not clear what is politically more damaging for a U.S. president: to publicly eat Iranian caviar or Russian contraband. Putin indeed has a peculiar sense of humor.
Mmmmm, endangered species.
We’re still waiting to hear the response from PETA and the World Wildlife Fund.

The Media will go down swinging to protect The One they helped elect.
That should surprise nobody.
Good catch. (No pun intended.)
By the way, there are special fish farms where it is legal to grow fish producing caviar in Russia. For example there is one in Archnagelsk regione, the other one (biggest in Europe) is located in Kaluga region, one more will be built in Ryazan’.
So please stop you political crap.
I do not disagree with your statement “Of course, in Russia, laws do not apply to the top nomenklatura, so the delicacy Obama consumed was most likely Russian-made and contraband”, but please change your article, because it lies about Russian caviar.
