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:
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.

$30,000 per plate for a damn dinner... and another $6500 for a photo with the president??? They should have deficit reduction dinners!
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.
"a fool and his money are quickly parted ...."

I would gladly shell out $30,100 for a dinner and a guaranteed "home plate". Yup. 20 years old an still a virgin.
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!
Do NOT pay attention to the man behind the curtain.....
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.
I wouldn't walk across the street to see him for free.
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.
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.
Editor and Administrator are lucky men whose exceptionally hot wives are worth far more than $31K.
The Editor and Administrator are very good at being married.
