There's a report out that The Dear Leader (Hussein Obama) REALLY, REALLY enjoys his new status as Emperor Of The World.
Most of us thought that dietary items like arugula were a bit on the pricy (and eccentric) side. Now, however, The Dear Leader has added a new item to our national food lexicon:
For you Saxon dog serfs out there, we're talking about a type of steak that runs over $100 a pound. In some instances, Wagyu beef can run over $100 a 6-8 ounce serving.
You won't see this at your local McDonald's when they unchain you from the galley oars for a few minutes at lunchtime today.
Here are some links to articles on what's for The Dear Leader's dinner!:
Obama celebrates spending binge with cocktails and wagyu steak (over $100 a pound elitist chow) Michelle Malkin slices & dices Obama's Wagyu perks
Drinks Are On the (White) House ABCNews' Jake Tapper gets himself disinvited from White House press pressers, forever.
White House Cocktail Party Must Have Been AWK-ward! Tommy Christopher on AOL News is looking for an audit!
We've got some salmonella-contaminated peanut butter we're passing out at the back door of the White House for our good Saxon serfs.
We need to keep your strength up so's you can work hard to pay off that $800 billion we're going to blow...
Kobe/Wagyu is without question THE best beef in the world. It is worth every penny you’ll spend on it.
“I, uhhhhh, did NOT have alimentary relations with that, uhhhhh, slab of Wagyu beef.”
I get a thrill up my leg, knowing that I’ve contributed some of the pennies to buy the fuel that will keep The Dear Leader going, and will give Him the strength to save the American peoples...
I beg to differ. I got some of the best wagyu from my wife’s boss (Panasonic chief of operations) when she worked there and the stuff tasted like soft pork.
You can’t really grill it, because it’s so delicate and so filled with fat. You can pan fry it or fry it on a teppan, but then it’s not really a steak.
But that’s just me...
Look at the King's Beef, peasant - but don't even THINK about getting any for yourself.Waygu beef is awesome. If you can't afford it, that's your fault for not working harder. Should I feel bad because I could go to a restaurant that served it and you have to eat at Burger King? Why don't you just quit your job and go on food stamps and then complain that you can't buy Waygu beef with WIC. What have you got against wealth?
Pinging Bacon Man because he was there ... the only time I’ve ever had it, I’m sure it was grilled, because that’s what we do to steak in Texas.
It was out-freakin-STANDING.
What’s next? Whole lobes of French foi gras?
Today, Obama is squawking at the big companies that took the first bailout for giving out big bonuses. I’m assuming that he was the big shot Democrat Senator from Illinois at that time and voted FOR the bailout. IF he is SO smart, then why didn’t HE stand up at the time, take some genuine LEADERSHIP and demand that some limitations and controls be placed on the use of OUR money by these corporations and banks that were standing in line and accepting OUR money? - He sounds like the typical Monday morning quarterback in all this. It’s easy to pontificate after the fact.
As one of the taxpayers that furnished the pennies, I certainly hope the Obamas enjoyed every bite
Maybe...but I live in Cattle country, hell Prime Rib is the State Flower of Nevada...and for my money, nothing beats that good grass fed beef we get from Fallon and Central Nevada. Of course I’ve never had a c-note to toss on Wagyu...
I absolutely love Wagyu Beef and we are blessed to have one of the major Wagyu ranches close to us.

They supplied a lot to President Bush for special occasions.
Who's wealth was it that paid for this feast?
$100 beef for Washington homeless
Obama Tells Staff: Leave Dinner Scraps on Street
"Victims of Bush need our compassion." New city after each W.H. dinner.
We have a winner. :-)
Dear leader is a man person of rare intelligence ... It’s rare when he shows any.
Shhhhhhhh! ;-)
Just a quick correction, buying imported Japanese runs about this price, American Wagyu generally is between $25-$40/pound.
I think you’re confused about the function of Free Republic, FRiend.
