Prez-Elect's Last Supper

So we just got our mitts on Barack Obama's dinner menu for January 19th.

The Hilton Washington Hotel in D.C. is hosting one of three "official candlelight dinners" the night before Obama takes the oath. Here's what's in store.

- New England Lobster Bisque en Croute
- Porcini Dusted Petit Fillet, Port Wine Demi, Complimented with Seared Sundried Tomato Scented Escolar Basil Emulsion
- Sea Salt Roasted Tri-Color Fingerling Potatoes
- Winter Baby Vegetables
- Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream

Ben's Chili Bowl, eat your heart out.

91. Michelle Obama is the biggest racist of all. I do not care how what dream menu they have, that women has no class and is going to be the worst First Lady. There will be no menus to plan in four years if she does not change her I hate America attitude.

You need to grow up. If I didn't you would be bi***ing that I need a spell checker. Is that enough "trailer trash" for you? Just because I want to know other people's opinion is not "nonsensical rantings." Get off your soap box and do some growing up. If anyone is here with "nonsensical rantings" it's you. The man is NOT black, but you are half right.

94. What soon-to-be president obama eats is really not a big issue. That fact that soon he will be funking up the oval office is. Live every day like it is your last. With a lying, racist bonehead as our president it might well be.

95. This is really funny stuff. All of the fried chicken and greens and watermelon references. Wasn't this man labeled as "elite" by the right. He mentioned arugula once and people went off like he said caviar or something. So which is it haters? Is he every black stereotype you can think of or is he an elitist? The two portrayals don't reconcile. That's what happens when you let hate guide you. Hate makes no sense and neither do you.

99. Let's see we got Franken, Obama, Burris. How do these people get to run the country? I can't wait to see how they show us how nasty politics can get.

100. I actually feel sorry for Obama. I think when he chose Rick Warren to do the invocation, he was really trying to bring Christians on board to help get our great country out of this gigantic mess. However, I think Obama is being too optimistic. It seems that no matter WHAT he does, or if he in fact DOES turn things around, there will always be those racist, intolerant, right-wing Christians who will hate him no matter what. The man hasn't even been inaugurated yet, and already the racial epithets and hate are spewing out of their mouths. Not only about him, but his family as well. I don't know of alot of lefties who go after Laura Bush that hard...why is that??
After 911, alot of Democrats rallied behind Bush and the country. We turned on him when we realized what lies were told to us to get us in Iraq. We waited until AFTER he was in office and mistakes were made to be critical. Just goes to show that they can cry "foul" all they want when they are accused of being intolerant and racist. But the great part is, they show their true colors everytime! The hate before the man has even served a day, they really are hypocrites.

101. 58. Well how is Obama going to afford all these checks he says he is sending me? 100k for a last supper. I'll tell you what -- I'm sure we would be happy to chip together 100k if this was truly his last supper. Maybe he will choke on his filet......then we won't have to see the results of his empty campaign promises.

============================================
The same way dumb ass Bush got the money to pay for his war for profit where he and Chaney and their cronies are making away like bandits. They are cleaning out the treasury before they leave office, by giving away the tax payers moeny free to their selected cronies on Wall Street and you Republicans are so blinded by your racism (because Obama is half caucasion and half black) that you cannot see that Bush and company play you guys for fools. Do you think that the republicans care a rat ass about people like you? Bush had a fund raising dinnier with some of his base and he said that they are his base, '"the haves and the haves more". Bush just baught a house for $2 million, in a neighbourhood that upon till recently excluded all blacks, I am certain that he got this house at a steal of a deal due to his mismanagement of the economy. He tanked the economy under his watch and sent this country to a pre 1927 depression, and you are making your sarcastic remarks about President elect Obama before he even takes up office. What is going on her?. I have notice that all of a sudden all those who were afraid of speaking out against the Bush and Chaney administration because of fear of being thrown in Gitmo as an enemy or a terrorist have finally come out of their coma. You guys need to shut your mouth up and give Obama a chance to govern and then you can creticize his performance.

Jesus had his last supper, after which he was crucified so that he could save mankind from their sins. He was the real deal, but some people where so caught up in their bigotry and hatred that they could not see the light and instead voted to crucify him. Obama is bringing back a change form the incompetence of the last eight years under Bush and Chaney, to one of competency and a lot of people do not like it because they are really going to see how a real government should govern. Cleaning up Bush's mess is going to take devine intervention. We all need to pray for this country and the President elect Obama and his administration that they will make the right decisions in pulling this country out of this quagmire, because the situation is very, very grave.

102. Judy, I really enjoy all your posts. They are really informative. I forgot how liberals were so much like Christians when they bashed Obama for picking Rick Warren. Or when Prop 8 was defeated in California and the protestors jumped up and down on someone's cross they were carrying. Or the hate that was spewed at Palin and that her baby was not her baby but really Bristols baby. Or how nice the liberal christians were toward Bristol."racist, intolerant, right-wing Christians " I am none of these things but it is amazing to see you judge lest ye be judged!!!!

103. Hey, may be he'll choke on the lobster that he'll be throwing down his lying throat and there will be no one around who know's Heimlich.... INSTANT KARMA.

104. And by the way, it has nothing to do with hate. The hate word sure is thrown around alot and the word tolerance sure is thrown around alot. I do NOT hate Mr. Obama, I strongly do not like what his policies and ideas are! I believe he has purpetrated a FRAUD on America by saying he is for Hope and Change yet no one wanted to know how and in what direction will this take this country. He is a great speaker but if you listen he says nothing and is now doing nothing but scaring the American people about how the economy will get worse before it gets better. I thought he was inspiring to people, I think not. Mr. Obama is an absolute fraud.

105. 68. THE PRESIDENT ELECT IS
50% WHITE AND 50% BLACK

AMERICA'S FIRST MIXED RACE PRESIDENT WILL TAKE OFFICE ON
JANUARY 20TH 2009
HE IS NOT BLACK, HE IS NOT WHITE HE IS OF MIXED RACE!

Please stop calling him black, because he is not.

================================================
Back in the days they say one once of black in your blood and your are black. If I saw Obama on the street, the first impression I would make of him is that he is black, even though he is of mixed race, because he is not so light that he could pass as a caucasion, he has more black features in terms of his skin colour. Probably that is why he identifies himself more with the black race, because he would not be accepted in the white race as one of them. Now we see all the racism coming out of the mouths of these white people, form Barack the Magic Negro, to Harry Reid, the leader of the senate stating he does not work for President elect Obama before the man even takes up office, so go figure. There are some white people who are saying that he is not black, becaose of their steriotype of black people as unachievers and wrong doers, Obama defies all these odds and some white prople cannot reconcile that a black man can be president of the USA, hence some people are saying that he is not black. This is realy interesting times to be alive.
