How Many Weirdos and Psuedo-Scientists Does it Take to Prepare Lunch for Barack Obama?

by John Little on 16/07/2008

Maureen Dowd’s latest piece, on the arrogant and humorless one, also offers a preview of what an Obama-led government might look like:

He’s already in danger of seeming too prissy about food — a perception heightened when The Wall Street Journal reported that the planners for Obama’s convention have hired the first-ever Director of Greening, the environmental activist Andrea Robinson. She in turn hired an Official Carbon Adviser to “measure the greenhouse-gas emissions of every placard, every plane trip, every appetizer prepared and every coffee cup tossed.”

The “lean ‘n’ green” catering guidelines, The Journal said, bar fried food and instruct that, “on the theory that nutritious food is more vibrant, each meal should include ‘at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, blue/purple, and white.’ (Garnishes don’t count.) At least 70% of the ingredients should be organic or grown locally, to minimize emissions from fuel during transportation.”

Obama isn’t on the fringe with this stuff. He’s way out past the fringe and this utterly whacked-out nuttiness will trickle down into everything if he’s elected.

    Obama is one frightening person. He is behaving like the seomd coming and the frightening part is that is the way the media is covering him. He hasn’t said anything significant about anything other than to preach to his own race and that was followed by a promise that the government will send care givers into the home, will be a father to the fathers. I can’t take much more of this hitler clone
