Drinks Are On the (White) House

I am very glad to see these useful and important information shair in this post.

This Political Punch have important and relevant data. These data is very useful and valuable.

$100/lb. steak? This is an outrage! I wouldn't pay it if I were you.

Quick using Bush as a scapegoat to Obama's bad behavior. who cares what Bush did, we're concerned over Obama because he is the antithesis of Bush, right? Therefore, when you libs talk about Obama's reckless spending as paling in comparison to the Bush spending, forget it. Two wrongs don't make a right. We want change, we want better accountability, we don't want to see him partying it up. It's suspiciously similar to Marie Antoinette's infamous quote "let them eat cake." Bottom line, we're losing jobs and he's partying it up.

Why weren't all you right-wingers so upset when Bush flew in wagyu steak from Australia? At least Obama is giving money to AMERICAN cattlemen. But that's the GOP for you... country last...

I am trying to feed my family on 12 dollars a day. This makes me sick!

Where the martinis spiked with Koolaid?

Where are the PETA wackos bashing Obama for eating meat? Oh. I forgot, it's ok, because they're on the same team.

Well, considering that HALF the country voted AGAINST the empty suit, why should we go along?

Jake, I do not remember you telling us about Bush's dinners and what they had to eat. But,keep up the great reporting! Good job!

All this talk about steak is making me hungry. I think I'll celebrate also! I only buy things when I have the cash to do so. I never use credit cards. My house is paid for, and worth more than I paid because I skimped on luxuries, rode the bus, and paid it off in 7 years. Only after did I buy a car, and I bought my car with cash. I have some great toys that I only bought by saving for them and waiting patiently for them to go on sale. The rest I add to my savings account. If I am laid off tomorrow, I'll be ready.
Americans need to be more fiscally responsible for themselves, and stop depending on the govt to write stimulus checks. This 800B+ is going to turn this recession into a depression! Who here doesn't realize that with every loan, there is interests. This stimulus, once paid back, will have cost US $3 Trillion. I'm going to the store now to get what may be one of the last Porterhouse steaks I'll eat for a long while. They're only 12.99lb, and pretty tasty!"

Your last name sounds like it is Ramsey!

LOL

Better than I deserve!

Where was the pie? I mean, he wants a piece of my pie, your pie, your kids pie's... as his wife put it - we all need to give up a slice of pie for someone else... hmmm... no pie for the party... oh that's right - it's coming out of the new stimulus bill - to be taken and served at a later time...

Obama has no clue how hard the average American is working just to keep a little of what they earn. 46% income tax, but what about the gas tax, capital gains tax, sales tax, local tax, property tax, and don't get me started on the fees and fines.

Then when someone that pays into the system, tries and use the system it doesn't work. Unemployment insurance is a joke, WIC a tragedy, and the welfare foods stamps is enslavement to bureaucracy.

Meanwhile Americans are losing their jobs and Obama is spending millions on his crowning, Billions to his buddies that put him in power, and drinks for everyone in the power circle.

Real reform on the technolgical release of military/government technolgy into the civilian market(mainly high schools and community colleges) would burst this whole economic problem. TAKE THE TECHNOLOGICAL LEASH OFF! NOT ADDING MORE GOVERNMENT!

SO out of touch....

How do we write the white house to complain about all of this.. and does the President know how angry the people are... and does the President pay for things like cocktail parties...???

Some ask 'Why is it a big deal??' It's more of 'do as I say, not as I do' doublespeak coming out of the mouth of Oz. You know, the man behind the curtain using smoke and mirrors to impress everyone??? He whines about CEO pay, yet Oz just went from about $174K/year as a senator to $400K/year as prez. And he gets about half that for the rest of his life as a pension. How about that, work 4 years as a senator, get elected to president for 4 more, and get $200K/year pension for 8 years of work. While I'll acknowledge that discussions about executive salaries are valid, Oz has no credibility when chastising them based on his lavish lifestyle while the rest of us suffer with our zero or negative raises and layoffs.

With the Obamas excessive, incredibly expensive taste in food and drink they make Caligula's epicurean binges look like the Amateur Hour.

Must be nice to spend your evenings swilling cockstails and chowing down on the most expensive steak in the world. The overwhelming majority of taxpapers can only dream of such an unbridled luxurious lifestyle such as the Obamas'. Maybe Obama can throw the working peons a leftover scrap?

Oh for goodness sake! This is cocktail party where they serve slivers of food. Get that? Hors d'oevres. Not steak dinners. Slivers of steak,tiny tomatoes and cubes of cheese and miniature food, people! Haven't any of you ever been to a coctail party? Lord,make a sliver of steak into a federal offense and you will wind up looking like a coctail weiner!

It was a COCKTAIL PARTY. Who would eat a pound of meat? They were appetizer portions. Get a life.

Also, who said $100/lb? Cooking.com sells that type steak for $65 for a 14oz portion. And, I'm guessing it's cheaper at the local grocer or butcher.

Next time he invites the Republicans, maybe he can serve little weiners in ketchup on a toothpick.

Surprise, surprise - the Obamas eating the world's most expensive steak, washed down with cocktails, while working Americans make ends meet with meatloaf. Now, that's sacrifice.

The Obamas on working Americans: "Let them eat cake!"

There is hope out there for hopeless conservatives...I just read article that Boehner was talking to the RNC that they needed to get back to their root values now that Bush is out of the picture.
It may be all talk but I really hope so.
As for the steak...Come on people!
If you didn't see this kind of behavior coming a mile away, your eyes have been shut!
