Obamas enjoy multi-course tasting menu By Jonathan Easley - 12/29/11 07:35 AM ET
President Obama enjoyed a five-to-seven course tasting menu Wednesday night at a dinner in Honolulu with first lady Michelle Obama and 10 friends.
The dinner at Alan Wong's restaurant in Honolulu comes as the president enjoys his annual holiday break in Hawaii, a vacation nearly cut short by the fight over taxes with Republicans in Washington.
The Obama's are regulars at Wong's restaurant—both gave head chef Wong a hug upon entering before being taken to their “traditional table,” which Wong describes as the “feng shui” seat in the house, according to the pool reports.
The Obamas were part of a group of ten, which included the president’s sister, and the party ordered off a special tasting menu – a multi-course meal designed specifically by the chef.
“The Obama party had a special 5-course tasting menu for $75 a person, $105 per person with wine pairings for each course," according to the pool report. "Highlights include "Sassey Salad" and bacon wrapped pork loin,” according to CNN’s Peter Morris, who the pool report said was at the restaurant when the president arrived.
Other diners generally didn't notice the president's arrival, the pool report said.
The Obamas spent about three hours at the restaurant before returning to their rental at around 11 p.m.
Before the dinner, Obama hit the links, spending nearly seven hours at the Ko’olau golf club with Mike Ramos, Greg Orme and long-time friend Robert Titcomb, who earlier this year plead no contest to soliciting a prostitute in Honolulu.
It's interesting to watch how liberals take such pride in their elite leaders spending and acting like royalty as they pander to the "make everyone equal" crowd.
Let me know if you'd like to be on the golf ping list. The 2012 season is right around the corner
just a bunch of queers and lesbians doin what queers and lesbians do
How many of those 7 hours do you think Bammy spent in the locker room with this guy... away from Secret Service eyes?
I am thinking the Obum likes golf more for the locker rooms (showers, ala Penn State Sandusky?) than for the golfing.
But, the press tells us he is the GREATEST Dad ever! and the model Family man!
I despise the leftist and moderate media. We need truth in media, not propaganda.
I played Ko’olau many years ago when it was Japanese owned. Beautiful course that is sculpted out of three levels of the mountain. You do not want to walk this course. It is also one of the most expensive courses I’ve played. Not just in green fees, but the number of balls you lose from the narrow fairways and unbelievable deep rough. If Barry is a mid- to high- handicapper, he probably lost two dozen balls....on the front nine.
“Generals have never made good presidents.”
Um... George Washington?
You know Bammy+Moochelle like to hang with JayZee+Beyonce. Bammy and JayZee admire what each other has done. Bammy Boy fancies himself being a rap star enthralling his audiences while that thug mo-ron JayZee fantasizes about being President
Probably shouldn't be using "gave head" and "wong" in the same sentence when hangin' around O'Bummor!
Larry said SO!
Hmmmmmmm....
Things are getting queerer by the minute.
Yes Greta had on college kids that think poor Obama had a jobs bill (like it was a good and magical bill) and the pubs stopped poor Obama.They do not see news that Obama is on the golf course and so full of corruption it is mind boggling.POLL off the street people and ask them what fast and furious or solyndra is.They will say oh Bush did it.
George Washington was not a member of the United States military.
Just like Missouri country courses, except for the scenery.
Is or was this Titcomb ever married?
Actally I agree with you.
What’s the Choom Gang?
I can only assume that Bobby Titcomb knows a lot about Zero’s life in HI - who he hung out with, what drugs he did, his proclivities, and perhaps details about Frank Marshall Davis - he was selling drugs at that time. I think Zero is placating/bribing/paying off and maybe a few threats as well, to shut Titcomb up. Titcomb could probably tell a lot of info that would be highly detrimental to Zero. Highly.
Our fearlessly ineligible POTUS deserves a break. It has been a good 10 days-two weeks since the Mombasa MF’s last vacation.
“...Titcomb’s father was a well known judge on the island for over 30 years, before he died in 2000 of a heart attack...”
Since most taxpayers are white, maybe that's why they take such joy in pissing away the money.
Tit...comb? Wow, you really cannot make this stuff up.
. . . . Bobby Titcomb again.

Thanks lj.
On Drudge now
LOVE LOST: ‘I just called Reggie. I miss him’...
Hugh? That all depends.
Just to whom did the bacon wrap porker loin belong to?
Ohhhh..you said Titcomb. :)
It’s a shame my sons are grown. I would love to use the line “You think you have it so bad, let me tell you about little Bobby Titcomb.” or “I might be mean, but at least I didn’t marry a Titcomb.”
I could have so much fun with that. (which is why I have no class, LOL!)
ChollaMan?
;-]
Titcomb is on the left.
Barney Frank?
I just did a Google search on him and found out in Oct 2011 he got the misdemenor expunged from his record because he was such a good boy for six months. I don’t think anyone else would get this lucky.

“Sassey Salad”.
Wow. No wonder our enemies quake in fear at our curtain-hanging, limp-wristed,bicycle-helmeted,can’t throw a baseball, fake president.
Because they are allowed to do anything to fool the Americans.
lemme guess...this “friend” is a marxist as well?
Can you pick out the gay guy?
What would you call our interstate highway system? Perhaps you are too young to remember how the country was before that.
All three.
“Can you pick out the gay guy?”
Um - the ones holding the shaft?
To quote Gomer Pyle, “surprise, surprise, surprise”.
Really great optics for Obama to be golfing with the guy though. It would only be an issue if a Republican President was involved. Kind of like lighting ALL the Menorah candles and joking about it afterward like Obama did a couple of weeks ago. The guy ain't Teflon, he's Flubber..
Okay, I give him one.
He did good there.
I spent more than that on a dinner last month for our 25th.
For vacations we usually enjoy a decent restaurant, and then little coffee shops and dives where the best local food is served.
And next month we will be in NOLA doing just that.
So I have to give him a pass on dinner.
Seven hours on a golf course for a single round is ungentlemanly and he should be publicly flogged for taking twice as long as he should have taken. There is no excuse for that. Take your snowman, pick up your ball and move on. Obviously he has never played golf on a Sunday morning at a municipal course.
I believe that.
Calvin Coolidge was one of our best presidents and he was criticized for doing nothing. The less the politicians do the better off the public is.

I agree he was one of our best presidents. His correct belief was go keep silent (hence “silent Cal”) and let everyone else yammer as they pleased. He just kept his mouth shut and did what he had had to do as president. This drove everybody nuts because of his silence.
