The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of the pie so that someone else can have more.”
-Michelle Obama
The photo is that of a receipt from the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, whereupon Mrs. Obama called for room service, Suite 29 M. At 4:04pm on October 15th, she ordered two lobster hors d/oeuvres @ $50, two whole steam lobsters @ $100, one order of Iranian Osetra caviar @ $150 and 1 bottle of Bollinger champagne @ $44 for a total of $447.39.
Please also see the included photo for “discounted” W-A room rates (through Expedia.com). I chose the smaller “one bedroom” only double suite, for an example, at $47,710 a night. Sorry, breakfast not included.
Michelle and Barack Obama: a Presidential couple “for the people.”

Hmmm – that room cost more than I made last year… how’s that “Wealth Redistribution” plan coming along?
Every heard the term “N… Rich”?
Somethings never change!!! Can’t wait to see what she does to the White House!!!!
I wonder if she knows that caviar is just fish eggs?
I’ve heard they plan on getting rid of the bowling alley. In fact I’ve heard that twice, and each time I got a twinge in my gut.
I don’t get it, I am not even an American citizen (yet), but I have the distinct impression that I have more love for the history of this country than a large number of “born” Americans.
And thus the quote “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” bobbles through the privicy of my mind.

LoneRider: I fear you are completely correct. I find that the recent LEGAL immigrants I encounter have an infinitely greater love for this country than the bulk of my naturalized citizens, as they come from countries not necessarily embracing THIS country’s strengths and freedoms, and they have the capacity to grasp what a wonderful nation the USA is truly.

A dollar wasted by a Republican is a scandal. A million dollars wasted by the Democrats is understandable because they’re the good guys. So simple here.
Thanks alot BZ, I just threw up on myself….and I’m sober.
I would have to work for 15 months to afford that room and dinner for one night.
447+ dollar dinner? I sure hope somebody got LAID, TWICE besides the taxpayers.
October 15th, just before they unloaded on Sarah Palin and the 150K wardrobe…
Funny thing, the wardrobe was given away to the needy after use. I guess we as a nation got the meal after use.
It truly does make me feel ill, BZ! I can’t even think of anything to say. 🙁
You know what, folks? I’m just one little fat guy cruising the internet. I’m no “official” journalist (though I’m EVERY bit the journalist compared to the MSM). I’m no amazing discoverer. I just happen to be the recipient of e-mails and a rider on the ones and zeroes.
And yet, DESPITE that — where else, other than MY blog, have you seen THIS information in any kind of public venue?
Shouldn’t that bespeak VOLUMES to you all?
BZ
BZ,
I think the first thing to consider is, is it true?
The second is, is it any worse then a President going fishing and playing Golf many times while our troops are in harms way?
I think not.
They all do it, both sides.
Well for God’s sake BZ, don’t piss off the wrong old crone, you’ll be a fake cop, a paid writer, a shill, all kinds of shit…
I mean, you must be a paid shill, how else would you possibly get such good information??
Right Gayle??
Well lets get it out there.. EVERYONE cross post this on your blogs, and maybe we can get it on at least fox… I know for a fact, FOX’s internet browsers have been on at least 3 of the blogs I help with.
Lets see Ranando, it is worse because the cry of the Obama camp was Palin’s wardrobe, the “elitist” cries of power and corruption in the RNC…YET this was hidden from the public.
I think when Obama is president there is going to be a lot you DON’T SEE, and that should cause YOU more concern than what you did see from Bush.
And an inaccurate wardrobe story related to Governor Palin got all the press. Shameful.
Manufactured controversy. This is really silly. Oh, please run Newt for 2012, I’ll gladly contribute to another loser like him.
Typical, phrases like N…Rich appear on a conservative blogger website. You guys are living in the past. Don’t be so scared white dudes.
CS
(aka not a scared white guy)
You can buy half a house for that much here in Tennessee. But I don’t blame it so much on Michelle or on the spending habits of the left illuminati. I really think that’s how rich people roll, and they don’t think twice about it. Want lobster? Say the word, swipe the card, be done. And sadly, we are always gonna have a rich POTUS, because nobody who isn’t rich can afford to get himself there.
