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.
Ah, so it’s not really a tower of champagne bottles. It’s just shelves.
Wow, I bet even Mittens doesn’t party like that.
Oh, it’s the ‘I HATE WHITEY’ crowd, drinking champagne made by whitey, talking in whitey’s language, paying taxes to whitey, etc. etc. etc.
These people are like a clown posse.
Did they invite Crissy Matthews to sing “if I were a rich man”?
Sex, “DRUGS” and rock ‘n roll. Lots of pot,coke,etc. The reason for no cameras I bet!
Oh the hypocrisy...
Where is the hidden camera when you need one? I would love to just have audio of Great Leader speaking the cadence of the street. I bet he lays it on thick and jive and gets all street with it. That recording would be worth some big bucks.
DJay Zerow got to get his pimp on!
Someone should bus in the OWS protesters and hand them some signs. Or at least post the address on one of their online forums.
How much did the empty bottles cost him?
reports are they only raised 4 million and Moochie didn’t go to the soiree
Chickenshite gutless cowardly ghetto trash nouveau riche nationally shameful muslim marxist mulatto puke !
<pheww>
“BONUS: President Obama’s campaign is launching their Runway To Win fundraiser again where fashion designers have made Pro-Obama gear to be sold for fundraising money. Beyonce & her mom, Tina, designed Obama baby onesies from House of Dereon (of course) that retail for $65 each:”
That was my point.
Unfortunately, libs will see no harm in this...”Jay-Z’s paying for it!”.
Yeah! Something like that. ;-)
The pain you feel today is the strength you'll have tomorrow.
