Obama chows down on $100/lb Japanese Kobe beef.
Serves his guests the cheap stuff and bills them.
The guy is a millionaire extreme Left Liberal.
So naturally.
Liberals say “We” must do this or that but actually mean “You” must do this or that...give up your SUV’s, guns, money, freedoms, etc.
She really is living it up, isn't she?
Failed African States have this kind of leadership as well.
Amateur hour continues...
Hell, I can buy Delmonico steaks well under $10/lb at retail pricing. Buying through a distributor would be an even greater savings.
BTTT
I tend to doubt it. Even on a president's salary, he wouldn't be able to afford weekly parties for the Dems with $100/lb. wagyu beef. WH meals are likely free for the "First Family" - it's a 'perk' we get to pay for . . . . . . like AF1.
The president pays for his own and the first family’s personal food.

An old article, but google more articles if you don’t believe me.
Can the Obama’s embarass the American people anymore? The budget is for hosting dinners with important people not flying in people to entertain you!
I think things have changed since the Nixon/Ford days:
Presidential Food Service provides worldwide food service, security, and personal support to the President and First Family. Additionally, they provide gourmet meals and support catered functions and Social Aide Dinners for visiting heads of state.
Presidential Food Service operates the White House Mess Executive dining rooms, provides a carryout service, and provides complete catering coordination to the White House Complex.
They also provide logistics coordination for White House Mess personnel and valet services for Presidential trips and events.
In 2001 the salary increased to $400,000 plus $50,000 for expenses. Because the presidents official duties incur far more expenses than the expense budget can cover, agencies of the federal government often assume responsibility for presidential events.
The Presidential Food Service is part of the White House Military Office (WHMO).
I REPEAT...The president pays for his and family’s food. Obviously not when it’s tied in with other functions...

From the bottom...”Both Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush noted in thier memoirs that they received a monthly bill for the food purchased for the private quarters”
Unbelievable. They ask people to come on business; charge them for it; but spend recklessly on their and their friends own entertainment.”
Refresh my memory again: NObama and his ilk are staying in a B & B in New England that costs how much per week? $50,000?????
When the next edition of Webster’s comes out, “tacky” definition has to have a pic of Barry!!!
...Both Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush noted in thier memoirs that they received a monthly bill for the food purchased for the private quarters”
The key words here are “for the private quarters”.
That is NOT lunches for INVITED guests.
I can save NObama the price of a stamp:
I would NOT accept an invitation to the White House under any circumstances- no matter who I was nor what I might be admired for doing in my life.
Not worth the contamination.
I was responding to DustyMoment’s comment that we are paying for 0bama’s mother in law. (Post #33). We are not.
Both Nancy Reagan and Barbara Busg are Republicans. Republicans pay their bills, Democrats do not.
Thank you for proving my point for me!
