Rumor has it that people who have attended the White House’s many recent dinner functions are peeved that they didn’t get enough food. Apparently meals are served in “tiny little portions,” maybe in the French style? We all know that 1) Americans are too fat because their idea of portion control is confining their evening meal to single wheelbarrowful and 2) the Obamas are admirably fit, therefore 3) the Obamas eat like little birds and are now trying to make our nation’s legislators eat like little birds, for Health. Our nation’s legislators do not like this one bit. They would much prefer reheated Hungry Man dinners. [Taegan Goddard's Political Wire]

Anyone unhappy with the amount of food they get while attending swanky soirees at the fucking White House fer gawd’s freakin’ sakes is hereby invited to come over and suck my balls for a while afterward if they think it will help them feel more satiated.
A wet/dry vac means free at-home lipo and all the oil you’ll ever need for your Fry Daddy. Win-win.
[re=261783]Mr Blifil[/re]: …how many calories is that?
Congress misses the one-pound shitburgers the Bush administration used to serve. Sure, it was human fecal matter, but there was a whole pound of it, by god, and they came with pickles.
I would like to say that birds eat a lot for their weight (some say half their weight in yummy yum yums) so this whole eating like birds doesn’t work. In fact, horses only eat around 2% of their body weight so we should all start rethinking this eating like birds nonsense and switch to eating like horses. Amen.
you know what i think? “Fuck you!”
If only it were possible for people to actually die of shame, we could clear out some of these whiney little asshats and hire some people who’ve actually worked for a living.
Too bad. It’s his house, his rules.
Could you please not run that picture anymore? I’m eating.
Wait? I thought the problem was that Obama was throwing these lavish dinners for guests that consisted of unicorn meat and rare Argentinian endive and chocolate dipped in gold?
The downfall of this country can be traced to the day that Obama threw out the Cracker Barrel that Bush had installed in the White House.
There’s a Popeye’s nearby the White House. Just stop by after teh fanci dinnah and get a four-piece, spicy, with fries and an extra biscuit. That’ll satisfy your hunger pangs, hungry elite Jabba the Huts invited to the White House for fanci dinnah. Shit, Obama ought to make them work out first before they can have teh dinnah.
[re=261789]ihasasad[/re]: thank god someone beat me to being a huge geek. I totally wanted to share that Bird Trivia, also.
Well, on the other hand, a truly lavish feast would have left them looking like Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Another year like this one and the White House will have to serve generic hot dogs and discount ramen noodles to visiting dignitaries.
Well, they should just be grateful he’s not like Jimmy Carter, who stopped serving wine at official dinners.
This is all because Democrats feed on MONEY and there is no MONEY left. Luckily they feed on the UNBORN as well, so their will be plenty of food when TEH STEM-CELLS start rolling in.
NOOO@@O@O@@!@@@!@!!!
Hang a picture of that guy in the dining room. One look at him, and they’ll think twice about bitchin’ about the portion sizes.
Next just take them to The Old Country Buffet otherwise known as the Human Feeding Trough.

Eat like a bird? Perhaps we shall move to having the secret/forbidden French delicacy, l’ortolan.
Mitterand had it at his last meal – or so they say. We won’t key in the recipe here, but you do have to eat it blindfolded….you’re already doing stuff blindfolded already. Now, there’s your lavish feast. Just don’t wash it down with some Rolling Rock, please.
mus be some kinda socialist thing. run around snortin cocaine wear a short dress put your dick in the sink eat a tiny meal socialism…
[re=261817]Zorg[/re]: Chimpy ran a dry White House too. What kind of twat waffle doesn’t serve wine at the fuckin White House, for Jeebus sake?
[re=261838]getoffmylawn[/re]: Tiny birds that were drowned in congnac? armagnac? and then roasted whole. Now I’m hungry
[re=261819]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: My wife and I did IVF. We signed a release for our unused embryos so we could sprinkle them on our toast.
If these people are still hungry, why then the should just go enjoy a bag of dicks. Hell, have two.
YOu mean they closed the Popeye’s concession when the Clampetts left?
Quick photo-credit where photo-credit is due: That’s from National Geographic naturalists who managed to get a rare shot of the feral Mark Penn subspecies in the jungles of Borneo.
[re=261822]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]:
Why, thank you for that link! Buffeting to me has largely been a mystery. I am so glad to find out that I can start to eat as soon as I am seated and can feel free to make any food combination of my own choosing.
It’s all a ruse to keep Rush Limbaugh away; he’d die without his 1000 calorie-an-hour diet.
[re=261783]Mr Blifil[/re]: Comment of the day.
[re=261805]The Cold Sea[/re]: Biggest Loser, White House edition.
[re=261811]Terry[/re]: seriously – maybe they’re trying to be tasteful. Weren’t people bitching about the fact that the Obamas have a chef and actually redecorated their daughters’ rooms when they moved in?
if you’re hungry after, go to jumbo slice. No, the other one.
[re=261861]Mr Blifil[/re]: Are they like caviar?
[re=261949]Lemming Caution[/re]: It seems that someone has bitched about the expense of just about everything they’ve done.
Ahh..burning..political questions..mmm, nap time zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZzzz
[re=261902]Terry[/re]:
Damn it. Wrong link.
[re=261849]V572625694[/re]: Because both Laura and Darth Cheney knew that GWB had the impulse control of a 3 year old (see Iraq invasion) and would have drunk 3 bottles in one sitting and then danced on the table whilst doing his best Gypsie Rose Lee imitation.
I bet my next paycheck (if I had one, thanks Repubs) that he hit the sauce regularly while President so I’m just glad he didn’t mistake the “football” for the real kind and spike it in the Oval Office therefore causing us to bomb the hell out of France…
I can’t keep up – do we hate the Obama’s for having too many meals, or for not serving lots of food at their too many meals?
They may be trying to start a culture war…
What? You mean three arugula leaves and a line-caught scallop is not considered a meal in Kentucky? Gluttons!
[re=261811]Terry[/re]: Another year like this one and the White House will have to serve generic hot dogs
Hot Dog Soup, it’s what’s for dinner! (When you’re a hobo. Or a college student.)
Ha ha fat cats in Washington? More like fat asses…

[re=261783]Mr Blifil[/re]: FTW. No need for any more comments. It’s all be said, right here.
This is why we need to recall just about every one of these mo-fos home from Congress and replace them with people who have actually had a job, home and regular life in the past 30 years. What the hell do they want? Chicken fried steak that covers the plate? I agree with all the earlier posts: who the hell goes to the f-ing WH and then complains about the meal they had? Decline the invites. Stay home with your DVR and your teen interns and call it a night.
PS Mr Bilfil: You got it goin’ on.
Oh please, what do these people think this is one of those restaurants that’s going to give them a tin foil swan ‘doggie bag’?
Are we THAT poor? Holy guacamole……
What an absolutely stupid thing for priviledged Congressmen to complain about. Just absolutely stupid–and offensive. All of us here realize that–let’s face it, folks–Congressmen and others in the Priviledge Bubble get so much free food, we once had a Congressmen tell us outright that he/she had not prepared a homecooked meal in two weeks—because he/she had been invited to free meals for 14 straight days. And there’s more, too–loads of free lunches (yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch), free food (pretty good, too) at free receptions, free appetizers at forums and conferences and meetings, and loads of other free food, literally every week. We’ve talked to scores of politicians in the last 30 years, and one of the great perks that they have is loads of free food–just about all of the time. So for an overpriviledged federal government politician who gets fed for free all the time to even consider complaining about food at the White House is unprofessional, juvenile, insulting–and offensive. Hey, Congressmen: Grow up. Grab a bite to eat either before or after your White House event–and be glad that you’re even in this bubble world. Meanwhile, your constituents are losing their jobs, and their houses, and have never even been to the White House. So focus on reality.
