The SF Elite Meet For A Tasty Treat

[boedicca]

Obama was in town yesterday to raise money for Babs. The Getties hosted a shhhhhwank affair for the local elite, costing $17,600 per head.

The menu sounds yummy, although serving Buckwheat is in questionable taste.



The president's 80 dinner guests were treated to an elaborate meal prepared by chef Jennifer Johnson, according to SF Gate, who got the scoop on the menu.

Diners were treated to quail egg with caviar and salmon ceviche with jicama and avocado on a tortilla chip as their starting hors d'oeuvres. Next they were served a spring onion-asparagus tartlet with Meyer lemon vinaigrette-dressed frisee salad.

The main course was braised Kobe beef short ribs with potato puree and a salsa verde-topped spring vegetable ragout. And the evening was topped off with buckwheat crepes with roasted cherries and almond ice cream.

Of course guests were given the opportunity to smile and take a picture with their favorite fundraising president. Worth the $17,600 price tag? You tell us.

I always found Rice-a-Roni to be my preferred San Fransisco treat

the flavor can't be beat

And just to show that Obama Really Is A Uniter (just not in the way he hoped), check out the video of the variety of folks protesting outside of the Fairmont:

I'm not sure I get it.

People paid $17,600 for a fancy meal?

Not worth it to me, but it's their money.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Wow... I wonder if they all got a "treat" from the Castro while they were there?

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

I thought this was the party of the "common man"?

 

[theDoctorisIn]

Yeah, so what's the point of this thread?

The president stopped by a fundraiser for someone. Whoop-ti-fucking-do.

 

[Political Junky]

I love the OP attempting to tell a Getty what is in good taste.

 

[boedicca]

Glad it amuses you. I don't share your belief that more money equates with more class or good taste; but it's good to know where you stand.

 

[Stephanie]

10% unemployment.

and our Politicians party it up with high dollar plates of food and drink.

how that fer a slap in the face.

 

[Political Junky]

Funny, Cons defend the right of wingnut executives to spend lavishly.

 

[boedicca]

Plus the BP oil disaster is still not under control - and Obama has decided to not honor the fallen heroes at Arlington on Memorial Day. Fund raisers and Old Pop Star concerts are much higher priorities.

 

[boedicca]

Funny, Cons defend the right of wingnut executives to spend lavishly.

Conservatives don't think that people spending the money they've earned on themselves is bad; Progressives do.

Just think of all the poor starving children who could have been fed with that money.

Wait, so you're a Progressive now?

Because this sure looks like a thread complaining about people spending their own money.

Have you ever heard of a fund raiser?

 

[Stephanie]

It's only a "BAD thing" when Sarah Palin or any Republican has a fund raiser, or makes money from speaking fees and books.

I'm sure you would have supported Bush holding fund raisers right smackdab in the middle of the Katrina mess.

Why would serving Buckwheat be in questionable taste . . . wasn't he the guest of honor? (ba da bump!)

He probably did. I don't care.

You're missing something here. What do you expect Obama to be doing (that he's not doing) about the oil spill?

Do you expect him to be swimming down there himself? What should he be doing that he isn't?
