Phyllis I couldn't agree with you more. I want the people running this country, smarter, brighter and and more exceptional then me! I want them to represent this country as one filled with smart bright exceptional people. I am tired of the world seeing us as a country filled with dim Good Ol' Boys who cannot put a cohesive sentence together.
If they want to dine on lobsters and hummingbird wings, let them!

Did she pay for this food? If so then I really don't see the issue here.
I want that dog painting!

Soapy - How dare she eat lobster? It's so elitist.
Shira, I know! Especially considering The McCains are so somewhere eating Ramen right now :-P.

Oh, and for what it's worth, that story is gone from page six, so it was probably never true at all. But now it's out there and it will be come ANOTHER asinine thing for Republicans to parrot things about ad nauseum.

When I read this post I said "Oh Goody. The culinary equivalent of the $400 haircut."
Just so we don't forget to report the truth once the lie that's settled into the back of everyone's memory as some vague half forgotten truth has been proven false...
The New York Post has printed a retraction of this story. They chose to accompany it with the most flattering picture of Michelle they could find, for good measure.

Newspapers are always forced to print "retractions" when fascism is trying to uproot democracy. We know Obama has already used force to try and silence his critics.
"She was not even staying at the Waldorf."
If the information was leaked from the kitchen or delivery staff, of course they wouldn't be staying at the Waldorf.
The RNC spent $150K on Palin's wardrobe, makeup and hair. I think Michelle can have a few pieces of shellfish.
Oh, Craig, you're just being shelfish about it.
What kind of brain dead moron believes ANYTHING that comes out of the tabloid New York Post? Seriously.Only a total complete idiot would take their word as being true.

Pretty funny--if revealing. NY Post has had to retract Page Six item on Michelle Obama livin' it up in tough times with a lobster dinner at the Waldorf in NYC. As it now admits, she wasn't even in NYC. But too late for Rush Limbaugh and others on the right who cited the story to prove Obama hypocrisy. Though hard to charge "anti-Americanism" -- what is more American than a lobstah?

That Michelle Obama Lobster Caviar Snack? Forget about it. The New York Post made a big mistake. It corrects itself as follows:
THE source who told us last week about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviar delivered to her room at the Waldorf-Astoria must have been under the influence of a mind-altering drug. She was not even staying at the Waldorf. We regret the mistake, and our former source is going to regret it, too. Bread and water would be too good for such disinformation.
Many "Obama Nyet" blogs to eat crow pie. Big slices too.

The PUMAs (Remember THOSE idiots?) published a touching and heartfelt 20 word retraction- and turned the comments "off" so that PUMAs across the country would be unable to say horrible things.
"I sincerely regret repeating and amplifying what turns out to be a shameful attempt to embarrass and undermine Michelle Obama."
This after publishing a fake "room service receipt" "signed" by "Michelle Obama" for $447 "snack."
PUMAs my ass

It's fascism, I tell you! Or socialism. Or some other ism. I can't keep them straight.
That's a neat trick you've got there, Goth.
A right-wing mouthpiece prints lies and retracts them, but you get to still believe they're true.
I assume, on the other hand, that nothing negative that's said about McCain or Palin is true, though it's printed and stands in every newspaper in the country.
Frankly, I don't see why you bother to read newspapers at all. Why don't you just make up your own headlines and recite them to youself?
I thought that's what he did, Reggie.
No, be fair, Besty. He finds his raw material somewhere.
But when even they disown it, he apparently clings to it.
Hey, Goth, this just in: the Church has let go of that whole sun-moves-around-the-earth thing.
Effing cowards!

He gets his posts through talking points: Rush, Hannity, Malkin, Coulter- They all will say the same thing. It's like they have coffee have morning in discuss: What is the line for the day? Joe The Plumber? Can't trust Obama? He's a socialist? They pick one, then all run with it.

I think she should order $150,000 worth of mythical lobster just to catch up.
I really hope they serve it at Obama's inaugural.
Sweet, butter-dipped revenge.
