Trying to solve the budget problem this way is like trying to get rid of raging flood waters with a teaspoon.
This whole adminstration is a joke!

Don L| 8.3.09 @ 6:49AM

So they can't manage a simple whitehouse food budget and they can't manage a simple Cash for CLunkers -- I just will love Obmacare when operations will come complete with a raincheck to get your sutures later -after Congress ups the budget.

What fools we are - Voting for our own suicide as a nation.

"The White House has officially stated that reason to charge for the meals is to remove any appearance of impropriety or conflict of interest..."

Snort!

What about ACORN? What about the New Black Panther's voter intimidation case being dropped? What about SEIU and UAW?

Impropriety and conflict of interest abound in this administration.

By the way, who picked up the tab for date night, the Paris vacation and the atrocious scare force one / statue of liberty fly over?

Just sayin'.

Paul| 8.3.09 @ 7:43AM

If this report is true, then the United States has reached a new low in terms of small-mindedness.

He is the President, for goodness sake! As long as it's work-related (and, yes, that is a very broad definition), the President of the United States should be entitled to entertain anyone he wants in the White House and that expense should be picked up by the taxpayer, especially given the ridiculously low salary the position pays.

If there is any genuine concern about riotous parties of free-flowing champagne and caviar, then set a daily budget of $1,000, or $2,000 or $5,000 per day. I couldn't care less! Did Carter do us any favors by selling the presidential yacht, Sequoia? I think not!

Credit cards in the White House? It is not the pageantry of democracy. It's undignified and pathetic.

Big J| 8.3.09 @ 8:14AM

Paul,

Why stop at $5,000? Why not make it $1,000,000 per day?

After all, he is the president. He has to "schmooze" his customers.

The ignorance that exists in this country still amazes me.

Gill O’Teen ✝✡| 8.3.09 @ 8:32AM

Back in the day when I owned and operated a small shoppe, I had to pay the credit card company an upfront percentage of all transactions in which the customer used plastic as opposed to paper or metal. I don’t remember what the percentage was, I’m thinking 5%. The amount was probably stored on one of those poor defenseless brain cells that was killed by my stroke. It seems that there actually are some folks unwilling to step up and be patriotic by paying the high interest rates some credit card companies charge and zero their balance every month in order to damage the economy. But the card issuers are tricksy and charge the merchants that ‘fee’ in order to ensure their profitability. That was then, now I do not know what fees the banks charge merchants for that privilege and convenience. I do wonder, if now that the obumah-crats are targeting the credit card companies for kidnaping Americans, and forcing them, often at gunpoint, to charge unsustainable debt at the local malls, those same companies are billing the White House Entertainment Czar an upfront fee. I also wonder if tiny timmy’s plan to pay off the con-gressional debt obligation once China, India and other wealthy investors quit buying dumbocrat IOUs will be to simply charge it to his credit card. I would certainly be leery of giving the current administration my credit card number. I might unknowingly wind up giving obumah a hefty campaign donation. I find it very interesting that the White House Food Pantry staff is working for tips. I can hardly wait until my highly trained personal medical consultant is reduced to working for gratuities, and will some spare change help insure promptness?

Michael Tomlinson| 8.3.09 @ 8:48AM

This is just a foretaste of how we’ll all be paying for Democrats controlling the White House and Congress. If Obama is so concerned about his public image he might be wise to cancel his lavish and expensive vacation to “the Vineyard.”

If the justification is as stated, to "to remove any appearance of impropriety" then it must be applied to ALL. That's not being doine, ergo, this is just so much of the usual B.S. from this White House. Bahney Fwank needs to investigate.

gerry| 8.3.09 @ 10:05AM

Are you kidding me? Is it that important, that the White House made RICH People pay for a $50 meal. This wasn't a class from an elementry school. These are well off influencial people who would pay $500 to be in a picture with the President.

And talk about damned if you do and damned if you don't. If they go over budget by paying for these people, there would be hell to pay by the same news critics.

wbheff| 8.3.09 @ 10:50AM

When I invite someone to dinner, note well that word "invite," I do not expect that person to pay for his meal. What kind of an "invitation" is that?
Along the same lines, look at the pictures of Obama and Biden meeting with Gates and Crowley. Gates and Crowley are wearing business suits, appropriate for a meeting at the White House, whilst Obama and Biden look like they came to clean the swimming pool or sweep out the garage. This mis-administration is not low class, it is completely NO class.

In the meantime, This was reported in a Canadian Newspaper -- not a PEEP in our press !
It's done with your tax dollars - - the First Lady requires more than 20 attendants - - -
and Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her own personal secretary.

There has never been anyone in the White House at any time that has
created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the
facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she
needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even Hillary, only had
three; Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie
Eisenhower social help came from the President's own pocket.

I am stunned that ANY leader of industry would sit still for such an insult. And make no mistake, that is how it was intended. If I were one of those corporate s0-called leaders, herre is exactly what I would have said: "No I will NOT give you my credit card. YOU invited ME. And I spent a considerable amount of my company's money and a day out of my busy life getting here. You don't seem to have a problem serving $100 a pound steak to hundreds of your friends without charging them anything, but you can't give me a free $5 ham sandwich after all the time and expense I incurred getting here? Tell your boss Barry that he doesn't have an ounce of class. You all can just kiss my ass. I'm outta here."

I really can't believe that not one of these corporate bigwigs didn't have enough self-respect and enough balls to just walk out. What kind of corporate so-called leaders are these?

Philip Klein wrote an interesting AS column last Friday titled “Everything That Rises Must Converge”. A jerk calling himself ‘Obama Circled by Satans people’, ‘Michelle Obama Jew connection’, and ‘History of the Jews’ tried to hijack its comment section by posting a bucket of bilge. Now I notice that either that bung for bawney or one of his nazi buds is attempting to do so here. So I am repeating my reply to that filth here with some additions. I will repeat these thoughts every time one of these bozo brains opines similarly.

None important, take your Jew hatred and crawl back into the fiery pit from whence you escaped. I have known many followers of the Jewish religion and absolutely every one of them was an upstanding capitalist conservative. One introduced me to a beverage consisting of eggnog with a shot of brandy. This was his traditional Christmas toast. That’s right, dunderhead, Christmas toast. You know Christmas don’t you, when Protestants wish “Peace on earth and good will to men!" and Catholics similarly wish “Peace to Men of Good Will!” Every Jew I have ever met qualifies as a person of good will, no matter which translation of the Bible is preferred. Another Jew introduced me to matzoh ball soup which reminded me of chicken noodle soup with crackers. Tasty! Her husband was a much needed friend at a time in my life when I needed a wise and honorable person to guide me. A Jew died on the cross for our sins. His Mother was a Jew and so was the man who raised Him as a son. All of his first followers were Jewish. An old college room mate of mine was a Jew. During the time of the Vietnam era selective service draft, though entitled to a student deferment, he volunteered for the National Guard. The State of Israel has been our most dependable friend and ally in the Middle East, and remains so in spite of all obumah’s efforts to toss them into Iran’s gas ovens. So bottom orifice, do let the doorknob hit you where the sun don’t shine as you slither away.

True to form, a Lib jumps up yelling, "Stick it to the RICH!". Class warfare is alive and well, along with the race-baiters that keep on stoking the fire.

"And talk about damned if you do and damned if you don't. If they go over budget by paying for these people....."

gerry, I hate to break it to you, but your dear leader is on track to spend upwards of $4,000,000,000,000 this fiscal year, if all of his plans are brought to fruition. Damned straight I would be irritated if he puts us in the hole for $1 more.

One more point: "We've done a lot more entertaining than previous administrations have," says the White House aide.

For a president who loves to whine about the inherited deficit, two wars and a tanking economy, I am curious: how does he have so much time for all of this entertaining?

Gill O’Teen ✝✡| 8.3.09 @ 1:15PM

gerry, I suppose whenever you invite folks over for dinner, you take their order and hand them the bill? Do you also expect a tip? Which credit cards do you accept? Do you report this income on your 1040? Do you charge based on your guests’ ability to pay? Has your 'restaurant' been properly licensed by the local authorities? Are you in full compliance with the local zoning laws?

jewish History| 8.3.09 @ 8:28PM

CHAPTER VII

JEWISH RITUAL MURDER IN ENGLAND BEFORE THE EXPULSION OF 1290

THE first known case happened in 1144; after that, cases cropped up from time to time until the Jews were expelled from the realm by Edward I. The most famous of these cases was that of Little St. Hugh of Lincoln in 1255. I record these cases in chronological order; and I do not deny the possibility of some of them in which details are lacking, being "trumped-up" ones, where death may have been due to causes other than ritual murder and the Jews blamed for it; but the case of St. Hugh, particularly, was juridically decided, and the Close and Patent Rolls of the Realm record definitely cases at London, Winchester and Oxford. There seems no reason to doubt that many cases of ritual murder have been unsuspected and even undiscovered.
1144- Norwich. A twelve-year-old boy was crucified and his side pierced at the Jewish Passover. His body was found in a sack hidden in a tree. A converted Jew, called Theobald of Cambridge, confessed that the Jews took blood every year from a Christian child because they thought that only by so doing could they ever obtain their freedom and return to Palestine, and that it was their custom to draw lots to decide whence the blood was to be supplied; Theobald said that last year the lot fell to Narbonne but in this year to Norwich. The boy was locally beatified and has ever since been known as St. William. The Sheriff, probably bribed, refused to bring the Jews to trial.

In J. C. Cox's Norfolk Churches, Vol. II, p. 47, as also in the Victoria Country History of Norfolk, 1906, Vol. II, is an illustration of an old painted rood-screen depicting the Ritual Murder of St. William, the screen itself is in Loddon Church, Norfolk, unless the Power of Jewish Money has had it removed. No one denies this case as a historical event, but the Jews of course say it was not a Ritual Murder. The Jew, C. Roth, in his The Ritual Murder Libel and the Jew (1935) says: "Modern enquirers, after careful examination of the facts, have concluded that the child probably lost consciousness in consequence of a cataleptic fit, and was buried prematurely by his relatives." How these modern enquiries arrived at a conclusion like that after all these years, Mr. Roth does not say; nor is it a compliment to the Church to suggest that its ministers would allow the boy's death to be celebrated as a martyrdom of a saint without having satisfied themselves that wounds on the body confirmed the crucifixion and the piercing of the side. And why the relatives should bury the boy in a sack and then dig it up and hang it in a tree would puzzle even a Jew to explain.

John Foxe's Arts and Monuments of the Church records this ritual murder, as did the Bollandists and other historians. The Prior, William Turbe, who afterwards became Bishop of Norwich, was the leading light in insisting that the crime was one of Jewish Ritual Murder; in the Dictionary of National Biography (edited by a Jew!) it is made clear that his career, quite apart from this Ritual Murder case, is that of a man of great strength of character and moral courage.

1160- Gloucester. The body of a child named Harold was found in the river with the usual wounds of crucifixion. Sometimes wrongly dated 1168. Recorded in Monumenta Germania Historica, Vol. VI (Erfurt Annals); Polychronicon, R. Higdon; Chronicles, R. Grafton, p. 46.

1181- Bury St. Edmunds. A child called Robert was sacrificed at Passover. The child was buried in the church and its presence there was supposed to cause 'miracles.' Authority: Rohrbacher, from the Chronicle of Gervase of Canterbury.

1192- Winchester. A boy crucified. Mentioned in Jewish Encyclopedia as being a false charge. Details lacking.

1232- Winchester. Boy crucified. Details lacking. Mentioned in Hyamson's History of the Jews in England; also in Annals of Winchester; and conclusively in the Close Roll 16, Henry III, membrane 8, 26.6. 1232.

1235- Norwich. In this case, the Jews stole a child and hid him with a view to crucifying him. Haydn's Dictionary of Dates of date 1847, says of this case, "They (the Jews) circumcise and attempt to crucify a child at Norwich; the offenders are condemned in a fine of 20,000 marks." Further authority Huillard Breolles Grande Chronique, III, 86. Also Close Roll, 19 Henry III, m 23.

1244- London. A child's body found unburied in the cemetery of St. Benedict, with ritual cuts. Buried with great pomp in St. Paul's. Authority: Social England, Vol. I, p. 407, edited by H. D. Traill.

1255- Lincoln. A boy called Hugh was kidnapped by the Jews and crucified and tortured in hatred of Jesus Christ. The boy's mother found the body in a well on the premises of a Jew called Joppin or Copinus. This Jew, promised by the judge his life if he confessed, did so, and 91 Jews were arrested; eventually 18 were hanged for the crime. King Henry III himself personally ordered the juridical investigation of the case five weeks after the discovery of the body, and refused to allow mercy to be shown to the Jew Copinus, who was executed.

Hugh was locally beatified, and his tomb may still be seen in Lincoln Cathedral, but the Jewish Money Power has evidently been at work, for between 1910 and 1930, a notice was fixed above the shrine as follows:

"The body of Hugh was given burial in the Cathedral and treated as that of a martyr. When the Minster was repaved, the skeleton of a small child was found beneath the present tombstone. There are many incidents in the story which tend to throw doubt upon it, and the existence of similar stories in England and elsewhere points to their origin in the fanatical hatred of the Jews of the Middle Ages and the common superstition, now wholly discredited, that ritual murder was a factor of Jewish Paschal Rites. Attempts were made as early as the 13th century by the Church to protect the Jews against the hatred of the populace and against this particular accusation."

At a recent visit to Lincoln of the Jewish Historical Society, in 1934, the Mayor, Mr. G. Deer, said to them: "That he (St. Hugh) was done to death by Jews for ritual purposes cannot be other than a libel based upon the prejudices and ignorance of an unenlightened age." The Chancellor on the same occasion said: "It was quite obviously one of the very many cases of slander spread about the Jews from time to time. No doubt, the child died or fell down the well."

These people, Jews and Gentiles, bring no evidence whatever for their statements; it couldn't have happened, they say. Why not?

Was Henry III, weak in character as we know him to have been, ever charged with being an immoral man? Did the judges not examine the body, which was only four weeks dead? Is Haydn's Dictionary of Dates (1847 edition) medieval and superstitious when it said of this case "They (the Jews) crucify a child at Lincoln, for which 18 are hanged"? There are no 'ifs' and 'buts' here! Or does Copinus's confession not tally with that of Theobald, quoted above in the first Norwich case? Copinus said, "For the death of this child, nearly all the Jews in England had come together and every town had sent deputies to assist in the sacrifice."

No one questions the historical facts in this case; but Jews and Judaised Gentiles unite in denying the fact of Ritual Murder.

Strack, in his The Jew and Human Sacrifice, written in defence of the Jews against the Blood Accusation, omits all mention of this famous case, which is the subject of the Prioress's Tale (Canterbury Tales) of Chaucer and is referred to in Marlowe's Jew of Malta. Hyamson's History of the Jews in England devotes the whole of Chapter IX to "Little St. Hugh of Lincoln," showing the importance of the Ritual Murder issue in the Jewish mind today.

The following Close Rolls of the Realm refer to the case of St. Hugh: Henry III, 39, m. 2,7.10 1255; 39, m. 2,14.10.1255; 40, m. 20, 24.ii.. 1255; 40,m.13,13.3.1256; 42, m. 6; 19.6.1258. And the Patent Rolls, Henry III, 40,m.20,26.11.1255; 40,m.19,9.12.1255; 40,27.3.1256; and 40,m.5, 20.8.1256.

1257. London. A child sacrificed. Authority: Cluverius. Epitome Historia, p. 541. Details lacking.

1276. London. Boy crucified. Authority: The Close Roll of the Realm, 4, Edward I, membrane 14, 3.3.1276.

1279. Northampton. A child crucified. Haydn's Dictionary of Dates, 1847, says of this case: "They (the Jews) crucify a child at Northampton for which 50 are drawn at horses' tails and hanged." Further authorities: Reiley, Memorials of London, p. I5; H. Desportes, Le Mystere du Sang.

1290. Oxford. The Patent Roll 18 Edward I, mem. 21, 21st June, 1290, contains an order for the gaol delivery of a Jew, Isaac de Pulet, detained for the murder of a Christian boy at Oxford.

Only one month after this, King Edward issued his decree expelling the Jews from the Kingdom. There is, then, every reason to believe that it was the Oxford murder which proved the last straw in toleration.

The reader will see (p. 20) that it was a similar ritual case which was one of the main stimulants to the King and Queen of Spain to expel professing Jews from that country in 1492.

The Jews, in attempting to escape responsibility for these deaths by Ritual Murder, do not hesitate to impugn the probity of two of the Kings of England, against whose moral character no one else has dared to cast a slur. Here are some examples. From the Jewish Chronicle Supplement, April, 1936, p. 8 (speaking of the Lincoln case in the reign of Henry III):

"Henceforth and especially under the zealously Christian Edward I, the Crown and its officers became almost a worse peril to the Jews than mobs intent on loot and led on by fanatic priests and knightly spendthrifts who had borrowed Jewish money. When 18th century writers of history began to examine the old records in a new sceptical temper, some may be found venturing on such unkind surmises as that the alleged crucifictions of Christian children only seemed to happen when kings were short of money." The foul accusation against men of upright character is repeated by the Jew Hyamson (History of the Jews in England, 1928 edition, p. 21), writes: "it has also been pointed out that the Blood Accusation was as a rule made at a time at which the Royal Treasury needed replenishing."

To deny that the cases of St. William of Norwich and St. Hugh of Lincoln were Jewish Ritual Murders is to accuse certain English Kings, certain English Clergy, and certain English administrators, known to be men of good morals, of murdering and torturing Jews to get their money, after accusing them of horrible crimes. In the case of St. Hugh, the sentence was juridical; in the case of St. William, the mob took the matter into their own hands because the Sheriff would take no action himself.

Whom do you believe the Jews or the English?

"It is difficult to refuse all credit to stories so circumstantial and so frequent." So says Social England concerning Ritual Murders in England Vol. I, p. 407, I893, edited by H. D. Traill.

A significant fact is that Haydn's Dictionary of Dates, at least up to 1847, quoted the Ritual Murders in Norman and Plantagenet England as undisputed facts. In later editions in the sixties, all mention of them is extirpated! We may take it that the Jewish Money Power began to dictate to the Press in England somewhere in the fifties of the last century.

Jews kept the truth of the one God alive for generations until Saint Paul, a Jew, passed the baton to the Gentiles. So you bottom orifices, do let the doorknob hit you where the sun don’t shine as you slither away or better yet go jump in that same lake where The True One sent you all those years ago.

To everyone else, I apologize for repeating myself, but these scumbugs keep infesting all attempts at reasonable conversation.

I just wanted to add a few thoughts to my 10:44 PM comment: Christmas celebrates the birth of a Jew and the Jewess who invited me to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family did not ask me for my credit card. I didn’t even have to help with any of the cleanup or leave her a tip.

You mean Obama doesnt take cash from lobbyists like Bush did? Holy shit, what? No wonder you hate this guy.

What, the President has a budget? Who does this guy think he is, Governor General of Canada?

To: Whom It May Concern - From: David Edward Oliver, BS. - Dear Newt Gingrich; I am confused. Would you rather the tax payers pay for their meals? Would you rather that tax money be used to pay for this private dinner? I am glad they had to pay for their own meals because it ultimately means that I (We) the Taxpayer did not have to pay for it. To prove your hypocracy if President Obama (hypothetically) did not require them to pay for their meals you would be screaming about the obvious waste of Taxpayer Money! So I strongly suspect President Obama really can't win either way with you and your being totally unfair to Him. I invite your comments. Please Write Back Soon. Thank You. Bye 4 Now. Amen. - Most Sincerely; David Edward Oliver, BS. - 35 Years old/Single/White/Male - Bluffton, South Carolina, USA/E-Mail: david-edward-oliver@david-edward-oliver.com / AOL IM: dvdeolvr /Website: http://www.myspace.com/david_edward_oliver / Daily Kos: USER ID: DavidEOliver - Daily KOS Diary Website: http://www.dailykos.com/user/DavidEOliver / Favorite Website: http:www.AvatarSpirit.com -USER ID: David-E-Oliver (I write fan fiction and ask "What If?" questions) / Quote: "No Single Rain Drop Believes It Is Responcible For The Flood!" - (http://www.despair.com)

This just tickles me no end that Bush Derangement Syndrome is alive and well. Talk about some people that need to take a deep breath and get a life ...

Robert| 8.4.09 @ 8:02PM

how tacky... it is expected of the position that meals will be paid for, but i understand the logic so someone had to make a decision. i wonder though about impropriety when the banksters and car dealers and all are bailed out with taxpayer money to the tune of trillions while ceo's have to pay $50 for meals at the white house. seems kind of odd to me...

This is just token stuff - to let those who come a callin' know their "place". Wasn't that long ago Big Hill was selling nights in the Lincoln bedroom for $10k a pop. How quickly these things are forgotten.

"You mean Obama doesnt take cash from lobbyists like Bush did? Holy shit, what? No wonder you hate this guy."

Regarding cash from lobbyists - he took cash from the families of lobbyists, and probably still does. Pretty sleazy if you ask me. Mind you, he is a lawyer so you really need to review the legal definition of every word uttered before commenting on what the One says.

Holy shit, that's no way to talk about or new President, even if his follewers thinks its true.

Politico reports that they cannot find one instance where Bush had a CEO as a lunch guest at the White House.

Considering Obama is a Community Organizer (Commissar) from way back, the reason could be a simple as -

"I may have to sit down with these Jackals, but there is no way in hell I am going to pay for them.".

It is simply very bad form.

Minerva| 8.5.09 @ 10:55PM

What about their recent trip to Russia? The grandmother, as well as the children's godmother were in attendance on that trip. They are having a field day on our tax dollars. Do you really believe the community organizer and his wife, would have been able to afford such lavish trips when they were living in Chicago? They got a "steal of a deal" on their home loan through Countrywide, and also had some other shady real estate dealings with Tony Rezko, which was mentioned in the news briefly, but no one questioned it then, and I'm afraid with the way things are going with this administration the old adage "Too little, too late" is going to be the latest catch phrase. So terribly sad. You'll be able to recognize all of those who voted this monster in to office by the placement of their tails between their legs.
