Obamas fly in chef 860 miles... just to make pizza

When you're the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do - even if that means flying a chef 860 miles.

Chris Sommers, 33, jetted into Washington from St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday with a suitcase of dough, cheese and pans to to prepare food for the Obamas and their staff.

He had apparently been handpicked after the President had tasted his pizzas on the campaign trail last autumn.

'It's surreal, it's a huge honour,' said Mr Sommers, who owns Pi restaurant in St Louis.

'It will be a casual lunch and hopefully we'll have a chance to say hello to the president.'

Mr Somers was accompanied by this business parnter Ryan Mangilardo who will help prepare the dinner for 140 this evening.
It will feature his signature dishes - ten deep dish and ten thin crust creations.

He is also planning a pizza especially for the president - the Hyde Park topped with chicken and hot sauce.

Think of all the CO2 that got pumped into my atmosphere in order to bring pizza to the guy that wants to confiscate SUV's and make me do daily tire inflation checks.

Who paid for this?

As with most libs who like to party - someone other then them.

IOW- the US taxpayer probably picked up the check for another Obama party

I'd like to know if it was the taxpayer.

Obama refuses to comment on the pirate hostage crisis to the media, but has not problem flying in a pizza maker at tax payer expense in order to have a pizza party

It's called an "excess of arrogance".

I guess Obama didn't learn how to order pizza as a community organizer.

So the economy is fine then?

Apparently... crisis over - time for pizza, spare no expense. Someone else is paying for it anyway

He should've called chris matthews, I'm sure he would've delivered the pizzas just for the tingle up his leg.

Good to know my tax dollars are going to good use.

How limousine liberal elite are you when you proclaim to be all about helping out the poor & then you spend thousands of tax payer dollars that could have been used to feed the homeless in order to abuse "Executive Privilege" with this whole pizza party thing...the scope of the hypocrisy is beyond laughable!

How about all those hard-working pizza makers in Washington DC? How is Obama going to stimulate his local economy if he can't order pizza from the local Domino's?

I was thinking the same thing. DC has some very low income places, bet you could get a heck of a pizza somewhere in those neighborhoods, that would just love to deliver to the WH.

On the other hand, hometown wasn't pleased:
