What do you think of this behavior?
Chris Sommers, owner of a pizza place in St. Louis, gets orders from all over town. But from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C.?
“It’s surreal, it’s a huge honor,†says Sommers, 33, who flew to the nation’s capital Thursday to make 20 pizzas for the Obama family and staff.
So how did a St. Louis pizza guy end up in the White House kitchen?
The president first tasted Sommers’s San Francisco-style pies, served at his St. Louis restaurant Pi, while campaigning in Missouri last fall. An Obama supporter, Sommers offered to deliver a few frozen pies to the president after the election but was told he couldn’t send food to the White House because of security concerns.
Instead, Reggie Love, one of the president’s closest aides and a fellow fan of Sommers’s deep-dish and thin-crust creations, arranged to have the pizza chef bring 20 pounds of dough and 3 gallons of sauce at his own expense to the White House kitchen and cook there Friday.
Hmm, what’s the carbon footpint on this one? Should we just chalk it up to the typical “do as I say, not as I do” attitude put forth by liberals when it comes to taxation, environmentalism, and, yes, anthropogenic global warming? I mean, you can’t give me the tired old “the government needs to Do Something!” line. Obama is the government.
And this is not even mentioning the old “who’s paying for the flight? Obama personally, or the taxpayers?” I think I’ll have fun filing a FOIA request tomorrow.

Please do fill out those papers Teach. I will be happy to give you a few reminders now and again. The cost of a roundtrip airfare is currently about 362 dollars.As for the carbon footprint, well if the one way cost is 180 dollars and JP 5 goes for 4 dollars per gallon and fuel cost is 1/3 of the ticket price well then his carbon footprint wasn’t all that much. Probably no diffrenet than if he had stayed home and driven his car around
Did you even read the article you posted or were you so blinded by your liberal hatred?
