They Party in High Style While Millions of Americans Face Hard Times!

Is the White House just not good enough for the Obamas? Why else would they erect a glass "tent" on the White House lawn for what has to be one of the most expensive state dinners of all time?

A large tent was erected for the State Dinner on the South Lawn of the White House November 24, 2009 in Washington, D.C. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama hosted their first State Dinner for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife Gursharan Kaur of India.

In 1867 the Reconstruction Legislature of the State of Lousiana voted itself $250,000 in Christmas hams.

Yup the cost of this has to be many times the cost of inviting fewer hot guests and using the WH facilities.

But he’s an actor himself and depends on Hollywood (and MSM) stars for support.

Come to think of it, I bet lots of high-level teacher’s union folk were there, the thousands of instances of kids singing 0bama’s praise has to be sourced somewhere.

Obama is racist. He didn’t want Indian people in “his” house so he built a tent in the backyard.

140 guest dining room is sufficient and has been for forever. This was over the top and sickening. I hope we can keep the lights and internet on through Feb.

Will that charge be on my next month’s visa bill or will it just be added to my taxes this year?

Your great grandkids will be paying for it.

It had to be big enough to hold more than Øbama's ego. They had to make room for things like this:

Along with a ton of other Cr@p these liberal/socialist ingrates impose on Americans. They should be proud of their place in history as the worst congress and president America ever had.

I guess the ones who pulled the lever for Obama forgot the saying “be careful what you wish for” because it came back to bite them - but that included me, which I am very unhappy about.

Where's the latrine?

That "tent" is about the size of Versailles. I'm surprised there isn't a humongous fountain inside.
