Obama's $500,000 tax payrt funded French State Dinner

Tonight’s French State Dinner for François Hollande is expected to cost you the tax payer about half a million dollars (and that’s a low estimate). Some of the guests invited to this State Dinner for France’s Socialist President François Hollande include Comedy Central assclown Stephen Colbert, amnesty RINOs Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor, CNN President Jeff Zucker, NAACP President Ben Jealous and gay NBA scrub Jason Collins. Even AL Sharpton is there, but without Tawana Brawley. Quite a list isn’t it? Obama really seems to get along with Hollande. I actually haven’t seen Obama get along better with any world ‘leader’ than with Raul Castro at Mandela’s funeral and François Hollande.
