You saw yesterday these skimpy cakes for poor Helen Thomas.

Well the White House cakegate gets worse and worse.

Look at this!

Oh my God, what a lack of taste and sweet disaster!

It must be a fake picture, doesn’t matter that in this blog they give credit to the White House.

He is the President of the most powerful country of the world and gets this kitsch and tacky cake.

A few months ago, the White House pastry chef Bill Yosses and assistant pastry chef Susie Morrison wheeled out a cake for Michelle Obama topped with fruit, candles and best wishes spelled out on a plaque.

Quite kitsch and tacky too.

So, the tradition goes on and on, and if not, look at this one presented to Ronald Reagan…

But, wait a minute, Sarkozy got a better deal with this “Lafayette” cake served on Nov. 6, 2007, during the White House dinner in honor of French President. sc-0756-398h

And what about this Inauguration one that was on sale in Seattle last January for just $7.99 that Gabriel Campanario sketched in his great blog.

At least it’s nicer and cheaper.

But nothing to compare with this real White House cake made in 1934 by these three men standing behind this monster cake baked by the Strand Baking Company in Madison, Wisconsin, for the Roosevelt Birthday Ball.

If the Obama’s White House 427 employees at a cost to the taxpayers of over 32 million annually cannot make a decent cake, how we can trust them?

This Getty picture shows an unexpected kind of meeting in the White House.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden invited Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and the man who arrested him, Sergeant James Crowley, to have a beer.

What the photo captions don’t say is that Obama had a Bud Light (American, 4.2% alcohol), Biden a Bucklers (Netherlands, 0.5% alcohol), Gates a Sam Adams Light (American, 4.2% alcohol), and Crowley a Blue Moon (Canadian, 3.2% alcohol).
