OBAMA'S FANCY SNACK
October 17, 2008 --
THOUGH he's battling GOP accusations that he's an Ivy League elitist, Barack Obama has a lifestyle of the rich and famous, like TV show host Robin Leach, who always signed off, "Champagne wishes and caviar dreams!" While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne, a tipster told Page Six

They deserve it. They have worked hard to kick your evil RWv asses. You are just upset that some of us can afford what you think is your birthright. Eat shit.

The economy has turned to shit, the war in Iraq is costing $10 billion a month with no end in sight, New Orleans is still flooded - - so the American voters will turn to some befuddled 72-year-old idiot who thinks the fundamentals of the economy are strong, that it's OK to stay in Iraq for 100 years, who doesn't even know how many homes he has - - and why? because Obama's wife has a taste for lobster and caviar?
Wow, you guys must be in some kind of competition for the Nobel Prize of Weird.
-
Lobster and caviar is symbolic of wealth, but I actually do not care.
Symbols are not bothering me , there are plenty of real concerns.
-
<<Lobster and caviar is symbolic of wealth, but I actually do not care.>>
What's it a symbol of when you don't know how many homes you have and it turns out to be seven or eight? What's it a symbol of when you say the fundamentals of the economy are strong even when the roof is crashing down around your head?
You are certainly right not to care about symbols, because, symbolically, your man is fucked.
-
It's not surprising that the symbolism here is lost on your BDS addled friends. Combine this with their attempted evisceration of one of the regular folks they cry crocodile tears over every election cycle and Americans are seeing who these people really are.
Polls are bearing this out.

I wouldn't care if you were right , I am more worried that he might actually loose the election.

I think "your man is f*cked rather suggests that he is doomed.
Don't feel too bad for McCain: he has six golfcarts, seven houses and all the free Budweiser he can drink. I think now he can probably get free Stella Artois as well.
-
I wonder if Barry and the big gummed one will be able to afford the lobster and caviar back in Hide Park?
Sure, I'm sure Resco will pick up the tab.
-

Fine, ..
Actually?
and we will have to fight hard to preserve the constitution.

That weird obsession with gums appears again.

===============================================
In what ways is McCain fighting hard to protect the Constitution?
The Republicans have tortured people, they want to deny a woman's control over her own body, they claim that they have the right to eavesdrop on our conversations without a warrant. I don't see that as protecting the Constitution.
-

He will appoint judges to the federal judiciary who will strictly interpret the constitution rather than those who would stretch the constitution to mean whatever you would want it to mean.

That's bullshit. Total bullshit./ He will appoint cryptofascist assholes like Scalia and dolts like Thomas who will pursue their annoying ratwing agenda.
I'm having none of McCain. He's several steps backward from where my country needs to go. Screw him, and the horse he rode in on.

I would hope so.
I worry that Obama will appoint Justices who will ignore the letter and the spirit of the constitution to get their wonts done.
It would be like trying to play baseball with an umpire who didn't know the rules, but felt competant to make them up as needed.
The country does need strict constructionist judges , elese it may have a constitution written in smoke.

==============================
The term "Strict constructionist" judges goes back to the days when Nixon was trying to lure racists away from Wallace voters. The truth is that the rightwing wants the Court to skew judgments in favor opf corporations each and every time. It is bogus as an argument. Take the case of the woman who was discriminated against for thirty years, and could not get compensation because he did not report this violation immediately, EVEN THOUGH she had no way of knowing that she was being treated unfairly. The rightwing jerks on the Court voted to deny her her payment, and Congress did the same because of corporate greed.
Roe vs. Wade is based on the idea that the people have a right to privacy, in the event you did not know this. I WANT a right to privacy. I consider this one of my greatest rights, and I do not need some asshole like Scalia or dunce like Thomas to take it away.

Well it's shocking I know but evidently, the "report" about the meal was made up out of whole cloth.
Consider The Post's Lobster

But This is True
Correction of the day award goes to The New York Post's Page Six, which ran this item today:
The source who told us last week about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviar delivered to her room at the Waldorf-Astoria must have been under the influence of a mind-altering drug. She was not even staying at the Waldorf. We regret the mistake, and our former source is going to regret it, too. Bread and water would be too good for such disinformation.
The original item, which ran on October 17th, has been scrubbed from the Post's Web site, but that doesn't mean it hasn't had an impact.
Rush Limbaugh's Web site has a transcript of the radio host reading the Page Six item and saying, "Now, the first thing about this is, if I'm the Obamas, I'm thinking, 'Who the hell called the newspaper on this?' These hotels are not supposed to say a word about what goes on in there. Trust me, they do." Mr. Limbaugh also termed the Obamas non-existent meal order "hypocrisy." (Weirdly—appropriately?—Mr. Limbaugh's transcription service renders the hotel's name 'Waldorf-Hysteria.')
Town Hall's Carol Platt Liebau wrote, "Look, I don't begrudge the Obamas their caviar and lobster. I like lobster, too (caviar? not so much). It's just that the whole mentality strikes me as typical of Democrat thinking."
It wasn't just professional talking pointers jumping on the story. This "P.U.M.A." Web site (remember "P.U.M.A."? Good times...) mocked up a fake receipt signed by Ms. Obama. A different site ran with the headline The Audacity of Michelle Obama's $447.39 Snack Tab. Here's another which noted "Obama is swimming in the $$$$" and then quipped, "What does one do with all that cash?"

>>Bread and water would be too good for such disinformation.<<
This is interesting isn't it? This is a little insight into how libtards think. It's like Barry letting the cat out of the bag when he talked to Joe the Plumber. Given their way people who piss them off for one reason or another would be locked up and feed bread and water. I'm guessing those folks would be lucky. People who really piss them off could expect the Fidel Castro treatment.

If a Supreme Court can give you a new right made up by putting the constitution in a blender and pasteing together whatever they want , then they can use the same process to remove from you an old right , and how would you argue that this right was constitutionally protected? If the constution means exactly what this brotherhood declaires it to mean then it protects nothing and you are entirely dependant on the good will of this court.
Can you really depend on the Suprems to always progress in the direction you like? If BHO does poorly as president he may be followed by a serious conservative , thus I actually can be sanguine in the face of his potential incompetance , if he is worse than expected , conservatism might come back in fashion.
If you want a new right , the right way to get it enforced is through the legislature or through admendment of the constitution if it is all that important. The alternative of weakening the force and substance of the constitution by strengthening the power of interpretation makes the rights that the constitution already protects less secure and the new right protected even less since it is written in the penumbras of shadow , they have less substance than smoke.

Just because the hotel denies she was staying there doesn't mean it's not true.
I went to a hotel in Pennsylvania on Saturday for a gaming convention. I was searched by the Secret Service, and I asked who was there. I was told "House Majority Leader <Scotty something or other - a made up name>". I just went on, knowing they were trying to keep it quiet. I know who the House Majority Leader is (Steny Hoyer) because I worked on the same floor as his office once upon a time and ran into him many times. I asked at the desk, and they refused to tell me.
I did run into Sarah Palin in the hallway, though. Not literally.

>>Just because the hotel denies she was staying there doesn't mean it's not true.<<
Hotels never give out this kind of information. "Journalists" sometimes bribe their way in in order to get these kinds of stories. Of course the hotel would deny it after the fact.
-
Of course this all brings up the question of: why does it matter what Michelle Obama's culinary tastes are? Did she ever claim that she could not afford a meal of lobster and caviar? Was anyone under the impression that she and her husband have no money?
I assume that Senator McCain and his wife can order such a dinner if they please, or perhaps filet mignon is more to Cindy's taste. I have no idea, nor could I possibly care any less.
Are y'all expecting droves of people to vote for McCain now that Michelle has enjoyed some lobster and fish eggs? Will Michelle like them so much that she won't allow a tax increase on the wealthy?
On an aside, there was a time when lobster was the meal of the poor. They were considered vile and disgusting by the wealthy classes and were a cheap food source for the coastal poor. Times they have changed...

Yes but I really don't think that this story has much importance whether true or not.
Hmmmmm....
It does prove that they are not serious Muslims , .....if they are shirking Halal and eating non approved food , but this is really not important either , I bet the percent that beleive he is Muslim is less that 1% , and half of these are voteing for him anyway.
So no, I am not worried about his diet .

===================
My mother's favorite was corn on the cob from a farm in the Mo. River bottomlands, where we would buy 12 dozen ears and freeze them. She mentioned this to some friends she made in Yorkshire, England. They were amazed that any humans ate corn. When she came back a year of so later, they told her, "we tried that corn of the cob of yours, and we boiled it and boiled it, but he was still too hard to eat after boiling it for ten hours.
They had tried to make corn on the cob from dried feed corn.
I think with a little lye, you can make hominy from this, or grind it up for grits, but apparently fresh corn is unavailable in England.
It does not bother me what the Obamas eat. I think a president's wife would do well to avoid fur coats and thousand-dollar Jimmy Choo shoes, but so far as I am concerned, the president's family can eat anything it wants. Well except New Guinea "Long Pig'.
-

It's not freshness (though fresher tastes better). Corn is grown in England (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/3518594.stm), so they would be able to buy fresh corn; it's the variety that matters. What humans typically eat is "sweet corn" while what is fed to animals, and most of what is grown in Europe, is "field corn". Popcorn, BTW, is different from both of those varieties as well, it's known as "flint corn". Matter of fact, I asked a friend who lives there about it, and was told that in East Anglia, you can buy cooked corn on the cob from roadside stands (in season, of course).

"Long pig" is human flesh.

I really don't think he means it , I think the Obamas could sit down to a hearty fried baby dinner twice a week and he would still vote for them.

It seems to me that cannibalism would be deal killer for any politician.
I don't think that it is likely that any of the thirteen parties on the ballot in FL are running a cannibal.
Cannibalism, baby-raping and bestiality are three practices that pretty much would shut anyone out of a bid for public office among all voters, in my opinion. Can anyone think of any more?
-
Bestiality wouldn't be a deal-killer EVERYWHERE. I saw Deliverance and I know Georgians are more broad-minded than you give 'em credit for.

If he doesn't mind abortion , why should he mind anything?
As voters if we don't mind absolutely no regulation on abortion why should we want any regulation on what happens to the carcases ?
I mind more that they are being killed than that they are not being made into Soylent Green , as long as they must be killed what is wrong with makeing sausage of them?

======================================================
I maintain that just because a man IS a pig-f*cker does not mean that he would VOTE for a pig-f*cker.
Abortion is hardy the same. Most Americans believe that at least some abortions are justifiable: cases of incest, rape, etc. I would even venture to say that if we held a referendum on abortion with no propaganda on either side, the outcome would rsult i the same number of abortions occurring.
I don't really think men should have a say in any such election, being as they lack the plumbing to really comprehend it at a basic level.

Lets feed that to the hogs , then eat the hogs.
If we keep brainstorming like this we might come up with some usefull ideas eventually.

Very few Americans favor abortion at any time during pregnancy.
Even fewer are opposed to all abortions.
Most take a position somewhere in between.

There is a whole lot of long pig going to waste in Abortion sites and where ever terrorists get caught by preditor drones. Could this stuff be gatherd up , vacum packed and shipped to New Guinea for sale?
-
This would not work, because (a) New Guineans have become civilized and no longer eat one another. There is a disease transmitted only through the eating of human brains that causes madness, and the local governments have managed to convince the tribal elders that this is the cause and not eating brains is the solution.
(b) cannibalism has caused wars between tribes, and everyone now seems to agree that such wars are bad.
(c) fetuses were never eaten. Only mature humans qualified as "long pig". As I said, cannibalism is almost a thing of the past in Papua New Guinea and the other half of the island, the Indonesian province of West Irian.
(d) I am pretty sure that the export of aborted fetuses to feed primitive people with body paint, feather adornments and exaggerated penis sheaths would not have any viable constituency in Congress and would be outlawed.

Why , sheer prejudice?
-
I am pretty sure that Congresspeople would frown on exporting fetuses to cannibals. I can't think that there would be any Americans who would favor this export. New Guinea cannibals live in a cash-free society. They have nothing that Americans might want.
The other problem is that these particular cannibals have no taste for fetuses.
This is a plan that is seriously flawed from every angle.

Agreed. The democrats could run Idi Amin and they'd vote for him. I hear he was a pretty good speaker too. Plus, you'd have to be a racist not to vote for him.

It would be a major blow to racism.

It is amazing the weirdo fantasies that you come up with.
Now you compare Obama to Idi Amin. Two black guys with oratorical talents.
Using the same twisted illogic, one could say the same thing about McCain and Herr Adolf, if not for the fact that McCain is not that great a speaker.
Perhaps you need a new pasttime. Have you ever explored the possibilities of the saying "every time you change hands you gain a stroke"?

<<It is amazing the weirdo fantasies that you come up with.>>
Time and again, the right HAS to come up with fantasy worlds to inhabit because their crackpot theories of life and economics are so dramatically and obviously at odds with reality.

I think you might be embellishing Richie by calling him "the Right". William F Buckley he is not. Pat Buchanon he is not. He is more like a rerun of a third generation tape of Rush Limbaugh.
Proposing that the Democrats would vote for Idi Amin, who is ineligible to run for president because he was not a citizen, and now eligible to run for anything because he is deceased, is beyond even the grossest of Limbaughler stupidities.
Amin was also a cannibal, which as I said, is an automatic disqualifier. People will always refuse to choose anyne who views them as a potential snack.

Google searching took a while to confirm , he died unnoticed?

Faisal Wangita, 25, was one of a group of 40 that attacked and killed Mahir Osman, 18, in a busy north London street in January 2006.
The Somali teenager was stabbed 20 times, attacked with baseball bats, bottles, hammers and scaffold poles, punched and kicked. He died within a minute of the start of his assault, prosecutors told London’s Central Criminal Court.
The attack, outside Camden Town underground station, was part of a bitter turf war between the Centric Boys, of which Wangita was a member, and the North London Somalis gang.
“It was a premeditated attack using a level of violence I have rarely seen,” said Detective Chief Inspector Michael Broster.
The attack resulted in two criminal trials, in total 13 people have been convicted for the attack, including three men found guilty of murder.
Wangita was acquitted of murder but was jailed for five years in April for conspiracy to wound and violent disorder for kicking Osman when he was on the ground. Judge Stephen Kramer described him as a “serious risk to the public.”
The conviction could not be reported until today for fear of prejudicing an ongoing and related trial. The judge had ruled that Wangita’s parentage should be kept from the jury in case it proved prejudicial. His father, Idi Amin, was one of the most feared and brutal dictators in African history.
Between 1971, when Amin seized control of Uganda in a coup d’état, and 1979 when he was deposed, the dictator is estimated to have been responsible for the death of 300,000 people.
According to popular history, he had awarded himself the title: “His Excellency President for Life Field Marshal Al Hadji Dr Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, King of Scotland, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.”
The former ruler died in exile in Saudi Arabia in 2003. He had numerous children with various wives and lovers.
Wangita arrived in England some time ago and was living here with his mother, staying at a number of addresses in London, the court heard.
He had previous criminal convictions for possessing an offensive weapon and fraud in November 2000. In May 2002, he was given community service for threatening behaviour and he was convicted for theft and carrying an offensive weapon in 2006.
