Obama's Pizza Party At Taxpayer's Tab
Obama orders pizza from St. Louis, Chicago miffed
2 days ago CHICAGO (AP) — The news is hitting Chicago deep dish pizza makers' eye like a big pizza pie. President Barack Obama is having 140 people over to the White House Friday night for a some deep-dish pizza — St. Louis deep dish pizza. It seems during his campaign he had pizza from a restaurant called Pi in St. Louis. That's the story Pi assistant manager Lindsey Tornetto tells. Whatever happened, the restaurant says the owner and his partner packed dough, cheese and pizza pans in their suitcases and flew to Washington. It all has Marc Malnati — owner of 30 Lou Malnati's Pizzarias in the Chicago area — shaking his head. He says he likes Obama's economic policy, but thinks the president's pizza policy should change. Information from: Chicago Tribune, http://www.chicagotribune.com AND Brent Hunsaker - President Obama's "Pizzagate" President Barak Obama wants to have 140 folks over to the White House Friday. He wants to serve pizza. That must be the pizza made famous in his hometown of Chicago, right? Wrong. The pizza will be from St. Louis. Marinara sauce from pizzarias all over Chicago will soon be flowing in the streets like... err... marinara sauce. How can this be? Their favorite son is turning his back (and his taste buds) on them? That's bad enough, but again, it's coming from St. Louis! Perhaps not mortal enemies, but St. Louis and Chicago have been bitter rivals for some time. The Cubs may not be able to show off a World Series ring from this century, but Chicago has always had the deep dish pizza. St. Louis is known for the brew that goes with the pizza -- the foamy stuff that made Adolphus Busch a few million dollars. And there's the Cardinals. And that arch thing. But pizza? And it just gets worse for Chicago's pride. The long distance pizza delivery (I trust the President tips well) is coming from a newcomer. The restaurant, Pi, has only been in business for about a year. So, just a year in business and Pi can already beat the best of Chicago in a dough throw? Really? Pi's owner, Chris Sommers, is a longtime Obama supporter who first met the candidate at a fundraiser. He later served up his St. Louis style pizza to Obama's staff while they were on a campaign stop in October. Sommers confesses he wasn't sure Obama would even eat it, but he did and he loved it. Sommers' plan for Friday is not to deliver the pizza a la Dominos, but rather deliver the pizza fixin's and himself. He will bake the pizza fresh in the White House kitchen. (Good luck getting all that dough and sauce past T.S.A.'s airport screeners. "Sir, you're only allowed 4 onces of liquid ... No sir, I don't care who it's for.") So does this make the President a deep dish traitor? To hear some talk in Chicago, yes. Newport Television LLC |

more hypocrisy from our fearless leader and his new favorite pizza-maker from St. Louis.
Michelle Malkin Environmentally-friendly restaurant delivers pizza 800 miles for ‘green’ president This guy travels via jet to the White House to make pizza for Obama, and on his website, the pizza maker claims to be a green restaurant, creating an al-bore sized carbon footprint. I guess their "significant carbon offset purchases" eliminate the DC trip. More "do as I say, not as I do" mentality from the Obamanation.

Who cares? Why is this news? Don't we all have more important things to spend our time caring about?

I think it's quite obvious that several people care. It's news because it's hypocrisy. All the crap storm about the Big 3 CEO's flying private jets to Washington being wasteful, but this is ok? If you have "more important things" to care about, feel free to do so.
