Good Grief… Cheapskate Obama Cuts Off Minibar From Campaign Contest Winners
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 12:13 PM
No minibar for you!
Barack and Michelle Obama may enjoy the high life of swank vacations and multiple golf outings. (SFGate)
But that doesn’t mean they want the same thing for you dummy.
The Obama Campaign is warning “Dinner with Barack” winners not to use the minibar in your hotel room. The campaign ain’t paying for it.
President Barack Obama’s Monday evening campaign email warned supporters not to “break in to [sic] that minibar” if the recipient wins a trip to have dinner with Barack and Michelle Obama. Contestants can enter the contest by donating $3 to the campaign.
The warning comes on the heels of reports that the “free” dinners, which the campaign says include travel and lodging expenses, are valued at $4,800 and could end up costing winners hundreds of dollars in taxes.
Counter Contempt has more.

It would take a whole lot more than the contents of a mini bar to get me through dinner with that ass biscuit.

i don’t think that i have seen obama with his youngest daughter like he is with his older daughter.
i also noticed his youngest daughter doesn’t look like her dad like his oldest daughter.
as for the contest, that’s so high school!
when will the grown ups start running our country!

Billions for failed solar companies but they can’t cough up $5 for some macadamia nuts.
It’s a little different I guess when Obama is paying the check.
Granny commented:
Too bad they don’t point out that these “contest winners”, poor suckers that they are, get stuck with a tax bill of hundreds of dollars courtesy of the IRS. The campaign values this package at more than >$4000 and it is taxed just like all other lottery winnings!
MN Jim commented:
Does the winner get to keep his fork?
Adirondack Patriot commented:
What about choom for the winners?
Can the winners intercept Obama’s choom?
Can they take “roof hits” while flying in Air Force One?
Dave-O commented:
The Obama campaign will encourage all contest winners to take whatever they would have spent on the mini-bar and send it to the Obama campaign in the form of a campaign contribution.
They can surely spend it more wisely than some poor schmuck blowing it all on the mini-bar selection.
They’ll probably feature a “cash bar” at the Obama dinner anyway.
Finncrisp commented:
The minibar doesn’t have the Kool-aide they want you to drink, so it is not required. This is not about sobriety, it is about delusional, mind bending stuff. They may need an Obamacare doctor to administer the treatment at dinner. Who knows, the domestic drone program may be to crop dust us with majic dust so we can be persuaded to vote for this dope in November. Contest “winners ” get to test the prototype.

quote from article:
“The Florida count in 2000 was decided by just 537 votes and ultimately landed in the Supreme Court.
This year in that state alone, Obama and his Democratic allies are poised to have thousands of lawyers ready for the election and hope to have more than the 5,800 attorneys available four years ago. That figure was nearly twice the 3,200 lawyers the Democrats had at their disposal in 2004.”

I was amazed to learn that the AIr Force jets assigned to fly Pelosi around stocked alchohol, at taxpayer expense. These ‘lucky’ winners should get the same booze limit her majesty enjoyed.

If it weren’t for the likelihood of offending Elizabeth Warren, I’d call him an “Indian Giver.” (. . . . I think I just did)
mcc commented:
OT — Just tuned in to Prager’s radio show – he’s very careful with his words – and I only heard these final words before a break:
“I am beginning to believe this president would do anything to get reelected. It’s scary. And I don’t usually go there.”
Wish I could remember exactly how he said it…and wonder what he’d been talking about that set up that conclusion.

Just tell him you’re doing it for the environment. He loves to open the checkbook for The Cause.

Seriously? You have to meet this guy sober?

[According to a massive months-long study commissioned by eight news
organizations in 2001, George W. Bush probably still would have won
even if the U.S. Supreme Court had allowed a limited statewide recount
to go forward as ordered by Florida’s highest court.
Bush also probably would have won had the state conducted the limited
recount of only four heavily Democratic counties that Al Gore asked for,
the study found.]
