$35,800 is an odd number. I thought it was supposed to be $3500.00 a head. The article should have included at least the number of suckers who showed up Let’s see, George Soros, the Rockefellers, the head of the Muslim Brotherhood........

Darn, you beat me to it.

Have to try the White Castle menu sometime.

The more we read about rich hypocrite liberals and their expensive lavish banquets, the more my wife and I intend to follow a simple diet featuring good nutrition and ample flavor but costing a mere pittance of what gets set in front of these ruling class put-ons.

Lobster is currently $4.95/lb. in these parts. 36 G's would buy you quite a few boatloads of the crustaceans. But of course, Obama's "donors" are not paying for food - they're paying for influence.

This is, by my accounting, Obama's 30th fundraiser this year... and the election is still one-and-a-half years away. He's already got upwards of $750 million in the bank. Now, there is no way that any Presidential campaign operation could ever spend that much money. So what is he really trying to buy?

LOL!

What the heck is “Hen of the woods”? Free Range Chicken?

Liberals sure are funny... when they aren’t destroying the Republic.

I adore White Castle burgers. There are no restaurants in my state, so we’ve got to settle for the frozen variety (conveniently located in your grocer’s freezer section). I’m only surprised that someone hasn’t yet charged White Castle with implicit racism.

Nah! They’re eating Grifola frondosa. A very delicious mushroom.

I heard it was all-you-can-eat man-ass. Was that another fundraiser?

“Let them eat Kale”

No, arugula. (Remember BHO’s asinine, elitist statement about it in fly-over country?)

The article leaves out a few details I’m more interested in reading about: how many attended, and who were they?
