It's Good to be The Queen

While Barack Obama moans about the poor people on the streets of New York, Mrs. Obama is living the high life many floors above (h/t The Corner):

The "people's ticket" ordered a little snack from room service at the Waldorf, as the N.Y. Post's page Six reports:

While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne, a tipster told Page Six.

I'd guess the bill for that snack came in at around $350. Iranian caviar ain't cheap — even if you negotiate for it yourself. What the hell . . . Your campaign contributions (soon to be your tax dollars) at work.

$450 million will buy you a lot of lobster and caviar. She may have to tone down her tastes should she make it to the White House.

UPDATE: The actual bill was $435.
