Oh my God the wife of a politician eating expensive food and saying things that are potentially hypocritical? Quick, we need to contact the national media! Surely someone can stop these monsters in their tracks before it's too late!

You can get lobsters right now for something like $4 a pound or less.

So for $100 I could have given you a mini-clambake for two with beer not just two whole steamed lobsters.  She should have stayed at a holiday inn express.

I thought conservatives were supposed to support grown adults spending the money they earn in the way they see fit.

Yeah.  I have no problem with this.  He even said in the last debate that he "...has no problem with paying a little more." when it comes to taxes, too.  So, spreading the wealth isn't something he has a problem with personally.

Though, I wonder how much extra he has sent in over the past few years.  I bet none.

I have no problem with that. If it turns out she spent taxpayer money for this, then I may give a slight damn. But if it's her own money, then go nuts.

I don't care what someone pays for something until it belies their stated position on OTHER people's money. What would the story have been if it was "Joe the Plumber" who was found to have spent $400 on lobster?
 "I don't know any plumber who makes 250k a year! AHAHA!! Just what was this "Joe" thinking paying $400 for lobster? He's not an elite! He's a common, redneck, white trash, racist, liar!"

That's the reason I posted it. Also, it was just too easy what with the Iranian caviar listed.

In my experience, people who are truly compassionate rarely use the word "compassion." Those who do talk compassion generally intend to be compassionate with your money, not their own. It's wrong for someone to confiscate your money, give it to someone else, and call that "compassion." -- Harry Browne

Hate to break up the Obama bashing party, but the receipt is fake.  She wasn't even staying at the Waldorf (she was in Indiana that day) according to the NY Post's retraction.

It's too bad that the Iranian government controls Snopes and Michelle Obama works as a copy editor at the New York Post!

Anyway it doesn't matter if this story is "objectively true," it feels right and following your gut is all that matters.

I think McCain himself will likely have an amusing meltdown.  In terms of groups, I'd look out for the rapture ready hockey moms...they might just storm the capital in full hockey gear.  And THAT would be very fun to watch.

"Rapture Ready" anything scares the hell out of me. Palin will just try to run again in 2012.

You know what I'd really like to see? Just to piss off the right-wingers? Obama insisting on taking the Oath of Office on a Koran.

A serious side note; I do have real and specific reasons why I do not like him, as I do about McCain. I make posts against him (instead of for/pro Republican ticket) because I think he is a more grave danger to the country than McCain would be. It's a "lesser of two evils" choice; and this is about the only way to enter the conversation without actually endorsing a current candidate/party.
