“I know the source is questionable, but wasn’t this the outfit that broke the Edwards “love child”?”
Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
If being an out-of-control drunk was the worst thing about The Usurper, I, for one, would be a really happy camper at this moment.
If you ever read the incredibly disturbing poem Barry wrote his freshman year of college, there's no question in my opinion he was seriously abused.
But he talks cool...with a teleprompter, of course.
Obamas inviting celebrity chefs, award-winning cooks to White House
Think of it as take-out, but at the presidential level.
Since bringing their well-documented high-end appetites to the White House, U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have broken new gourmet ground by inviting in a steady stream of the nation’s top culinary talents.
It’s an experience the chefs say they consider a career achievement.
“You work in the White House and you walk over to the tent and right across to your right, there is the Oval Office,” said chef Marcus Samuelsson, who prepared the Obama’s first state dinner in November in honour of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
“That’s not something that happens every day,” Samuelsson said.
Carl Anthony, historian with the National First Ladies Library, said that while inviting guest chefs to the White House isn’t unheard of, featuring such famous chefs is new. Anthony sees Michelle Obama using the chefs “to bring attention to the issue of nutrition, especially childhood nutrition.”
In fact, Michelle Obama recently appeared on the Food Network special “Super Chef Battle,” highlighting her White House garden and talking about it as a way to teach local children about healthy eating. Obama told the show’s famous chefs, “We really want you all to be a part of helping us spread that message.”
Former White House executive chef Walter Scheib, who cooked under presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, said there’s no protocol on guest chefs and the Obamas can invite as many as they like.

However, former White House executive pastry chef Roland Mesnier said he would feel slighted by guest chefs, who could use their White House experience as a promotional tool or for exposure.
“To me it’s a slap in the face. It’s an insult,” he said.
I do!
Tell me this isn’t by someone seriously messed up:
POP
by B. Obama
Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken
In, sprinkled with ashes
Pop switches channels, takes another
Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks
What to do with me, a green young man
Who fails to consider the
Flim and flam of the world, since
Things have been easy for me;
I stare hard at his face, a stare
That deflects off his brow;
I’m sure he’s unaware of his
Dark, watery eyes, that
Glance in different directions,
And his slow, unwelcome twitches,
Fail to pass.
I listen, nod,
Listen, open, till I cling to his pale,
Beige T-shirt, yelling,
Yelling in his ears, that hang
With heavy lobes, but he’s still telling
His joke, so I ask why
He’s so unhappy, to which he replies...
But I don’t care anymore, cause
He took too damn long, and from
Under my seat, I pull out the
Mirror I’ve been saving; I’m laughing,
Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face
To mine, as he grows small,
A spot in my brain, something
That may be squeezed out, like a
Watermelon seed between
Two fingers.
Pop takes another shot, neat,
Points out the same amber
Stain on his shorts that I’ve got on mine, and
Makes me smell his smell, coming
From me; he switches channels, recites an old poem
He wrote before his mother died,
Stands, shouts, and asks
For a hug, as I shrink, my
Arms barely reaching around
His thick, oily neck, and his broad back; ’cause
I see my face, framed within
Pop’s black-framed glasses
And know he’s laughing too.
He can’t rent it out thats where Bin Ladin is chillin.
No, that was the National Enquirer.
That's a very big "if". No, I don't believe the Globe, which is why my post was a joke about Clinton.
If it were about a conservative liberals would be citing this as a source left and right..."fake but true" being their battle-cry.
“And he is said to have had 50,000 guests at Christmas parties in December.”
According to this article, that’s not so unusual. It seems to be an annual White House obligation.
Marathon of Mirth
Think you have a lot of Christmas parties? Be glad you’re not the president.

Well Little Barry is still green, but he certainly has come to embrace the "flim and flam of the world".
He is President Flim Flam.
Such was the fall before the Revolution in France and we all know what happened there.
Except his daddy ain’t his daddy
Unless you're posting from MSNBC's studio and are reffering to their castaways, you need to nix the "We".
Interesting.
