WASHINGTON — Nix the flags and the podium. Cue the opulent 18-foot tower of gold-bottled French champagne.
When President Obama addresses an elite roster of hipsters and multimillionaires, including hosts Beyoncé and Jay-Z, in New York tonight, he will do so next to a custom-designed tower of $800-per-bottle champagne that dominates the main room at Jay-Z’s 40/40 nightclub.
The 350-bottle champagne tower — designed by Jeffrey Beers — is a monument to Jay-Z’s favorite bubbly, Armand de Brignac, which is known colloquially by rappers, clubgoers and connoisseurs as Ace of Spades because of its gold-spade label.
“It’s floor-to-ceiling gold bottles in the entire space. It’s beautiful — breathtaking,” a rep for the Flatiron District hot spot told The Post. “It’s the first thing you see when you walk in.”
But the White House, which meticulously controls Obama’s image, is not expected to release any photos of the president’s appearance at the lavish club.
Details of the party are “under lock and key,” according to the rep, and the White House was guarding the guest list as if it were the latest intelligence profile of Iran’s nuclear program.

The Post is famous for its headlines. You do have to learn how to read them, though (or be a New Yorker!).

You can’t make this stuff up....
Beyonce & Jay-Z:
Poor, “down trodden” blacks.
(America is so hateful and unfair.)
Where’s OCCUPY?!!?
The only reason they are voting for Obama is because he’s black. They are truly, utterly, racist.
The article states that the carefully guarded image will have all pictures of this opulence under lock and key, yet Romney gets bootlegged at his fund raiser and its in its 2nd day of wall to wall media coverage. The media will stop at nothing to protect their boy.
Well I’m crushed that I didn’t receive an invite to this social event of the season. Sob, boo hoo. I’m sure everybody who’s anybody will be there.
And you can bet that anyone who dares release a video, will get a visit from the Secret Service.

How fitting: Obama with champagne taste on a Beers budget...
it’s the same need as driving big showy cars for some tropical Africans here
been that way forever...all my life
Caddys, Champagne, Bling ...you name it
my ex wife from Brasil first thing she said driving from Miami to Mickeyland in 1987 her first time here was “Why do black people here all drive such big cars?”
it show off impulses like big rims and loud colors and floppy pimps hats and platform heels...now it’s Crystal and Herve Legere
ingrained culture
blacks with WASPy discretion are looked down on by their peers
gauche is good basically
cause it’s all about style over substance in their culture..for most anyhow
they didn’t make up Welfare Cadillac in a shotgun house in Sugar Ditch Mississippi from whole cloth
there are more vernacular ways to describe this trait but I’ll leave that
irony is ..rather tropical African looking anti white bigot Jay Zee just had to marry a very white looking mixed race woman who barely signifies anything black other than her cafe skin tone and ample caboose
and he’s black and proud of course
all the rich black men that are proud do this it seems...have less than black looking women
*yes I know there are exceptions but I don’t see a Cicely Tyson anywhere on the arm of these poseurs today
