Obama, in her brief speech to the vendors and patrons, handled the affordability issue by pointing out that people who pay with food stamps would get double the coupon value at the market. Even then, though, it's hard to imagine somebody using food stamps to buy what the market offered: $19 bison steak from Gunpowder Bison, organic dandelion greens for $12 per pound from Blueberry Hill Vegetables, the Piedmont Reserve cheese from Everson Dairy at $29 a pound. Rounding out the potential shopping cart: $4 for a piece of "walnut dacquoise" from the Praline Bakery, $9 for a jumbo crab cake at Chris's Marketplace, $8 for a loaf of cranberry-walnut bread and $32 for a bolt of yarn.

The first lady said the market would particularly appeal to federal employees in nearby buildings to "pick up some good stuff for dinner." Yet even they might think twice about spending $3 for a pint of potatoes when potatoes are on sale for 40 cents a pound at Giant. They could get nearly five dozen eggs at Giant for the $5 Obama spent for her dozen.

Weren't you limpwrists crying about how out of touch the Bush's were? Were you also the ones crying about Hilary calling the Obama's "elitist"?

I thought the Obama's were all about a green environment?
Is Algore going to have a stroke over the amount of carbon this little trip put in to the environment?

That's funny. When I hear 'angry black woman' the first thing I think of is Celisary.

"Considering all the logistics, each tomato she purchased had a carbon footprint of several tons."

Considering the logistics, I'm surprised that the highbrow farmers even participated in such a spectacle.

This was really foolish of her.

" $3 for a pint of potatoes when potatoes are on sale for 40 cents a pound at Giant."

Holy crap. Tell her go to the 99 cents store. You can pick up a 5 or 10 pound bag for...99 cents!

The interesting thing about organic farming, is that it may be better for the enviroment, but it's bad for people. I remember reading somewhere that if all the currently farmed land in the world started farming organically, it could only produce enough food to sustain 4 billion people.

"I remember reading somewhere that if all the currently farmed land in the world started farming organically, it could only produce enough food to sustain 4 billion people."

That fact opens up a whole other can of worms.

Don't let the population control conspiracy theorists hear that one.

I wonder if their food taster is still required if Obama does the "grocery shopping". One can only wonder where they did their shopping in Chicago. Maybe the market next door to their ACORN office?

This was really foolish of her.

OK - You have officially crossed over and I am proud of you.

Don't deny it.
Wear it with pride.

Desperate times need desperate measures.

Tuscan kale and Chitlin Salad

2 bunches tuscan kale
4 pounds chitlins
1/2 TS Grape Drank
Menthol Mouthwash
1 8oz Bag of Funions

"OK - You have officially crossed over and I am proud of you."

I haven't crossed over to anything, Fredo.

I can just call a spa..

Ah, screw it.

So in her attempt to be a "normal person" she totally proved that otherwise - revealing a real lack of common sense in the process.

Next time send a intern out to grab the fancy-pants greens. It is better for the environment, the commuter and the taxpayer.

It's hilarious that 101 is scared shitless by powerful black women. Pussy.

It's hilarious that Andy is so willingly subservient to powerful black men.

Guess I struck a nerve for Live or Die too.

Did anyone else notice how fat her ass is getting? She's been wolfing down some organic Popeye's or something to acquire that trunk junk.

Live or Die, if you're not upset with your own fear of black women, then why the insults?

"It's hilarious that 101 is scared shitless by powerful black women. Pussy."

I've noticed the new trend of claiming that anyone who goofs on another person is doing so because he is "scared" of them. Is this supposed to be funny, witty, intelligent, entertaining or redeeming in any way? Or are the people who say this projecting because they only goof on people who frighten them.

I just don't get it. Seems so desperately lame to me.

Anyone who thinks Sarah Palin is an idiot is "scared" of her. Anyone who thinks Michelle Obama wasted alot of resources shutting down a street in DC and bringing a dozen guards along to buy one item at the grocery is "scared" of her.

So nobody actually does or says anything stupid ever? Is that it? They are really just scaring people who then in turn claim the person who frightened them did something stupid.....

Is this a logical thought process to anyone or are the people who spew this nonsense intentionally sounding like idiots?

Andy (btw, are you 9 years old? What adult calls themself "andy"?),
Never mind me, what do you make of Michelle Obama's shopping trip? Do you think it was wise? Do you think it was worth the money? Do you think normal folk find her disrupting traffic, wasting taxpayer money, and pimping vegies that are priced so only the elite can buy them, to be an endearing quality?

Or, you can focus on me, and get humiliated in the process. It's up to you "andy".

Sully, racism is a response to fear and ignorance. 101 has continuously posted his racial hatred of the Obamas for months. That's why I believe he's afraid of a powerful black woman and her powerful black husband. The question I have, is why do you and Live and Die feel compelled to answer for 101?

101, I couldn't give a shit about where Mrs. Obama shops or if she brings 50 secret service agents with her. Why in the world would this episode in DC matter to you? And BTW, I'm aware that you don't like my name, Andy. You've posted that repeatedly. Was that part of your analysis of Mrs. Obama's shopping trip?

Andy seems to be fixated with powerful black men.

Turn off the computer Andy. Go grab your mitt and find some children in the neighborhood to play with. Be sure to wash up before dinner, boy.

Way to stick to the issues 101.

""It's hilarious that 101 is scared shitless by powerful black women"

Sully, that really isn't true.

I've seen 101 speak many, many times about the black actress in Give Me a Break I think it was.

What IS her name???

I think she has since died.

101 has her chest mounted in his study.

Powerful Black Woman

Way to stick to the issues 101.

How quickly you forget, Buttercup. Your first post here was some absurd off topic commentary on me. Your second comment here was just as absurd, and off topic. The pattern continued.
Then, you admit the obvious, which is you don't care about the topic (obviously because you're enthralled with powerful blacks and can't muster a defense for them in this instance), yet you then chide me for not sticking to the issues?

You're a speedbag, and are completely out of your league. Check around and see if there's a thread on trading cards, marbles, or comic books.

MO a powerful black woman? What does she have power over again. Oh yeah, two girls she took to a racist church and a half black non-US citizen who used ACORN to steal the presidency.

You posted this in response. Basically chastising me to stick to the topic. Then you posted this...

Get it? You're posts are hypocritical. That's the point. You put up a story about the first lady tying up traffic in DC under a title using the phrase Angry Black Woman. You want me to post to the issue, and then you degenerate into some fantasy you have about children and a "mitt." Pretty sick. Keep posting though, you're really championing the cause of racist pedophiles.

Raggedy Andy still doesn't seem to get it. Listen lil' fella, you're supposed to comment on the thread.
If you're incapable of admitting that Obama wasted tons of taxpayer money, put a ton of carbon in the air (while pretending she's a greenie), and made it so welfare/food stamp recipients can overpay by about 10x's for some veggies, then clearly you're out of your league.

Step up to the plate or limp away. We've already established you're fascinated by powerful blacks. Perhaps you'd like to become a corrections officer or a criminal when you grow up?

There we go 101, if the racist talks long enough they get around to the defining bigotted statement.

"We've already established you're fascinated by powerful blacks. Perhaps you'd like to become a corrections officer or a criminal when you grow up?" 101

So, you're main point here was to post something where you could call Mrs. Obama an Angry Black Woman. That's your point. You don't give a shit about the cost or the polution. It's all about the racial insult. You're too easy 101.

No dummy, I can call her an angry black woman all day long without posting a thread about it. How fucking stupid are you?

Who needs a special thread to post a racial insult? You claim to be familiar with my work, so you're either a liar, or a fucking retard. Which is it? Nobody that's familiar with my posts thinks I need a special thread to make a racial insult.

Again Andy (jesus christ, change your god damn name unless you're going to be a camp counselor), you're out of your league. Run along.

"The question I have, is why do you and Live and Die feel compelled to answer for 101?"

Its a public blog. People post stuff here and then other people respond to posts that illicits a reaction from them whether the post was addressed to them or not. If you want to talk to 101 just you and him, you'll need his email address.

When I see people claiming that crticism of someone doing something stupid - whether it be Palin or Obama - is done out of "fear", it bothers me because I see it as part of the pattern of political hacks in this country looking to dumb everything down to attack the messenger talking points.

LOL, I love when someone posts an insult, and then gets all butt-hurt when the expected back'n'forth ensues. The way Andy's acting about all this, I'm sure you could drive a Buick right through his colon and out his pie hole. What a bitch! LOL!!

Live or Die, your conclusion isn't supported by any of the posts here. Don't delude yourself by thinking either you or 101 have had any effect on me. A couple of racists hiding behind a computer screen isn't what I'd call much of a challenge.

Sully, racism is a response to fear and ignorance.

#29 | Posted by AndyB62

These aren't the only two reasons for racism.

That's like saying "blacks are racist because they are ignorant of and fear Caucasians."

Do they not have other reasons? Logic says so, and this same logic pertains to other races as well.

All races are racist to some degree.

Let me tell you about disrupted traffic.

I live in Cleveland.
I live about 3 miles from the main Airport in Cleveland.

For the last 3 presidential elections our wonderful political system and their ever present cheerleaders in the media have dubbed Ohio a "Battle Ground State"

Which means in short.

Endless motorcades of assholes who will not once set foot in our state until the next election cycle, or if they are trying to push something with the help of the unions.

Michelle Obama blocked up DC traffic?

Cry me a river.

I genuinely feel for the poor suckers in Iowa and New Hampshire. I bet they feel REAL important when they are trying to go to work and cant swing a dead cat without smacking 6 news teams, 9 polling teams, and a presidential candidate in the head.

I wanted to have our Secretary of State put in the stocks when he was entertaining the idea of moving our primaries up to be "More Influential"

Thanks, but no thanks.

just count up the footprint that she took to do this when someone from the kitchen could have done the same thing

and you all KNOW how i get crazy about that footprint shit

101 is just pissed that she wouldn't fuck him under any circustances.

I heard when Chairpoodle grew up he had a black nanny. "bathtime" with nanny was one of little 101's favorite activities......it looks like he's regressing.

DC voted for Obama something like 12 to 1. They deserve to be late for dinner because the first lady is out of overpriced veggies. I hope it happens every day.

In other news, Obama won New York City, handily, and their little trip to Broadway closed traffic within several city blocks. Again, New York deserves it. Whatever inconveniences accrue to ghettoized blue-state areas, suits me just fine.
