Now why would they ban photos of an event like this?
Via New York Post:
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.
Now, if only someone could release some secret video of THIS.
I am sure the attendees were told that if anyone released a video the Secret Service would hunt them down.
Thats quite a hit on the EBT card.
if I have my history right, I believe the French masses finally had enough of their royal king and queen when the people were starving in the streets and the queen stupidly suggested to let them eat cake (of course the royals were lavishly spending, spending, spending)...guess history does repeat itself: leaders partying it up with the expensive stuff while their governments are totally broke!
Not good, not at all...
40’s for $40,000 for my nizzles,fo’shizzle!
Stay tuned...... The videos coming out will fetch a pretty penny.
This is sick. Two members of our family have lost their jobs and had their children’s first homes foreclosed. In this horrible economy, it is mind-boggling that the president takes part in this disgusting display of opulence by two over-paid “entertainers” so he can get a few more millions for himself.
It’s like walking on eggshells. Tread easily,my FRiend.
I saw a picture of an Obama fundraiser on FOX this morning. The people were all going ga-ga over him. Then I noticed that at least 3 of them had no teeth!!!
The pigs are oinking.
Do you suppose the President could deign to take a few moments off from partaying to think about the Middle East?
Imagine if it was Mitt.
The power of the enemedia has never been higher. If we ever win another election, something will have to be done.
All this hypocrisy about the rich is disgusting. Obama is a fake, period.
“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.”
Too bad they are not that careful about details related to National Security and our troops.
I hope no one was discriminated & offended by having to show a photo-id to get into “common man” party.
Send in the spawn of Jimmuh Carter, he’ll ge the pictures. Well, some of them anyway.
