Dow Jones Plummets +500 Points, Obama Parties At White House With Jay Z, Stevie Wonder, Chris Rock, Tom Hanks, Whoopi Goldberg, Herbie Hancock…
It’s good to be king.
WASHINGTON — President Obama celebrated his 50th birthday Thursday night with a celebrity-filled bash, as entertainer Chris Rock reported on his Twitter feed: “Just left the Presidents birthday party at the White House. Herbie Hancock played, Stevie Wonder sang and yes they did the electric slide. A great night.”
Daughter Malia, 13 just arrived home from summer camp in time for the Rose Garden party as she was joined by her sister, Sasha, 10, First Lady Michelle, grandmother Marian Robinson and their godmother, Eleanor “Mama Kaye, Wilson,” who flew to Washington from Chicago on Air Force One with Obama when he returned from his Thursday fund-raiser back home.
Obama’s party — paid for, the White House said, by the First Couple — was closed press and not on his official schedule. Obama’s team was not eager for pictures of the bash, coming as the stock market was plunging and a new jobless report comes out Friday morning.
Eddie Gehman Kohan, who presides over Obama Foodorama, the website of record about entertaining in the Obama White House, put together a detailed report about the five-hour barbeque, based on interviews of people who were there. Read her entire article here.
From Kohan’s article: “Stevie Wonder gave a “surprise” performance during the celebration; his hit “You and I” was the President and First Lady Obama’s wedding song. Revelers included Jay Z; Tom Hanks; Chris Rock; hoops legends Charles Barkley and Grant Hill; Whoopi Goldberg; Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith; and actor Hill Harper. He’s one of the President’s closest chums from Harvard law school, and star of CSI: NY. Jazz great Herbie Hancock and his ensemble played; R & B singer Ledisi dazzled the crowd.

Is there a guest list posted? I’d like to know who to boycott.
I’m starting with Hanks.
I bet the numbers will be fixed to show gains on Friday…
Check out the pimp shoes. And Mooch is wearing the chenille bedspread look again.
Dancing on Americas grave.
Let them eat cake!
Dear Diary
Today….birthday thanks, stock market tanks, went home with skank.
Good day.
barry
I hope when these people fall, they fall hard……
Half-White boys can’t dance…….
They are enjoying the misery of the little people. They’ll get theirs.
The nation is falling apart and this piece of shit parties…..absolute disgrace and a failure of epic proportions.
Wow could there be a more disgusting group of white supremacists? Perhaps you should take off the white hood blinders and look at your tea party brethren as the cause of the economic turmoil. Business isn’t spending. The ‘job creators’ are hoarding their money, earned on the backs of a system that lets millionaires pay less effective tax than working stiffs. A system that allows corporations to earn billions of dollars tax free.
And you bunch of racist losers want to make comments like this? Very smooth no go back to your little holes.
@Progressive
Toeing the line and hitting all the daily bullet points.
The ruling class parties as the peasants eat cake!
A God dam revolution is in order!
In our faces, as we are covering the cost of this worthless kenyan and his posse!
Prog……………GTFO
Fashion note: I dislike Obama, and have nothing but contempt for Michelle’s penchant for wearing Miz Ellen’s po’tieres.
But Obama’s shoes in this shot are in no way exceptional; he is wearing patent leather shoes, which are the correct thing to wear with a dinner jacket. Patent leather is extremely glossy, and what you see on his shoes is the reflection of the lights in the room.
That progressive guy sounds like the peasant in the field a la Monty Python and the Holy Grail. How’s that collective thing working out for you
Nero fiddles hile Rome burns!!!
Obama is worst enemy of the black people. He wants to make them more dependent and take away any dignity they might have.
@ Progressive
Pull yo miniature heyd out yo bloated commie ass ya ignorant POS.
“Obama’s team was not eager for pictures of the bash” I bet.
The above pic is old, from an inauguration bash.
Nero needs to finish the job…..somebody give him a knife
Drudge says they were dancing barefoot in the Rose Garden. Does it get any more gauche than that? Hope they stepped on a thorn.
Good to see they included the token white, Tom hanks
Loved how Wall Street celebrated Obama’s birthday. What a send off of good wishes! Now don’t let the door hit you in 2012.
Pre-war Germany.
Invited his most loyal bootlickers
Was Hanks the token whitey? Sounds like all the other ‘stars’ were ‘people of color’
O is a racist!

They sure are-it is fucking sickening
I completely concur with the statement by gastorgrab. “Is there a guest list posted? I’d like to know who to boycott.” Just in this article
Jay Z,
Stevie Wonder,
Chris Rock,
Tom Hanks,
Whoopi Goldberg,
Herbie Hancock
We need to start using the same tactics, the Democrat/Progressives/Socialist have used for years. Like the Unions, we need to unit and protest, boycott, and regardless what the Socialist leaders like Kerry, Tingles say we need to let our voices be heard. Glen Beck said that the Socialist Leader Obama’s plan is to collapse the US economy. In my eyes he is doing a pretty good job of it. The Tea Party need to be just the start. Someone on the Left (I can’t remember who it was) said that we needed a Muslim Spring against the Tea Party, I sort of agree, but we need to start working to impeach the Socialist and throw him, Reed & Palosie out of office. We have to stand up to them trying to overthrow the American way of life.
Progressive is another one Drive By Blogging for Obama…
My 1st thought when I saw this was.

–”Nero needs to finish the job”–
I’ve said it before, years from now historians will be comparing Obama’s putter to Nero’s Fiddle.
I seem to remember a speech in which Obama chided Americans about our obsession with celebrity culture or something like that. Am I remembering correctly?
Thunder Lizard I know you have that right… But of course that kind of talk is directed AT we plebeians. These things don’t apply to the emperor.
Read your Hope & Change Rule book for Christ’s Sake…

@Progressive:
Blahahahahahahaha… are you O’Bumbler’s spoog boy?
Harleybob, you must be one of thos Socialist! They are protecting Their Money they earned, so Obama can distroy their capital. By the way I do not see anything in this blog that sound Racist, and would lead to your Racist comment”white hood blinders” Pull your head out!
Obama’s party — paid for, the White House said, by the First Couple —
Sure. They had the party catered. Called Pizza Hut. And Bam went out and picked up a couple of kegs from Capital Hill Liqueur.
Air Force One shuttle for guests
Secret Service Detail
Event planning, preparation, set up and cleanup by WH staff
Road closures
Police and other security measure for the district
Paid for by you.
Man, I wish you progressives would come up with some new material. Racist this, racist that, yada yada, same old shit.
Wonder if these A-list guests pay their fair share? I bet not!
The First Things First Presidency!
You can add Jennifer Hudson to the list..
&
I’m so glad they mentioned Herbie Hancock or I wouldn’t have known he was still alive.
Go Moabama! Time to party like it’s 1929!
Ooooooops…..MAOBAMA……..LOL
Hey cut the guy some slack. After all, despite extremist Tea Party terrorist opposition, Obama managed to turn 50. Give the little man some props for that achievement.
I still for the life of me can’t understand why the progressives who stumble upon this site think that every reader is white.
And Nero fiddles……
Celebrities SUCK.
Al Sharpton was there

That’s right, buddy. We hate Tom Hanks ’cause he’s white. You’ve really figured us out.
That picture is from the inauguration party. The “toilet paper” dress The First Fat Ass is wearing is now in the Smithsonian. I’m told there was to be a “black-out” of photos to protect the privacy of the party goers and that they paid for the par-tay themselves. Right.
