PJ Tatler picked up on this interesting tweet from Mark Knoller yesterday:

It was certainly a curious move by the Obama campaign until the headlines broke today:

Weekly Standard: Obama Fundraiser Features ‘Floor-to-Ceiling Gold Bottles

NY Post: Beyoncé & Jay-Z host NY Bam ba$h

The NY Post reports:

When President Obama addresses an elite roster of hipsters and multimillionaires, including hosts Beyoncé and Jay-Z, in New York tonight, he will do so next to a custom-designed tower of $800-per-bottle champagne that dominates the main room at Jay-Z’s 40/40 nightclub.

The 350-bottle champagne tower — designed by Jeffrey Beers — is a monument to Jay-Z’s favorite bubbly, Armand de Brignac, which is known colloquially by rappers, clubgoers and connoisseurs as Ace of Spades because of its gold-spade label.

“It’s floor-to-ceiling gold bottles in the entire space. It’s beautiful — breathtaking,” a rep for the Flatiron District hot spot told The Post. “It’s the first thing you see when you walk in.”

But the White House, which meticulously controls Obama’s image, is not expected to release any photos of the president’s appearance at the lavish club.

Details of the party are “under lock and key,” according to the rep, and the White House was guarding the guest list as if it were the latest intelligence profile of Iran’s nuclear program.

Might it look something like this?

Yeah I can see why Obama’s campaign banned photos of it. They want to make Romney look like the rich guy with tons of rich supporters, not Obama.

By next week the obamessiah regime will just be handing out the articles to the lamestream lapdog media for their publication. Therefore, there will be no need for any cameras or microphones.

Also, where is my redistribution check from J and "Be"? they are all for that right?? They are the richest couple in America. I'm sure they can spot me at least a cool million right?? I've got 4 boys and we're outgrowing my house (trying to keep up with the muslims). C'mon redistribution checks!!

Unreal. My wife's stepfather is a liberal and he's against Romney because "Romney's just for the rich people." It's people like him that get Obama elected. He's not an Obama fan either but he still holds an entitlement attitude.

Also, where is all the "transperancy" that we were guaranteed in this administration?? Romney should make an ad with that big old lie in it.

Could it be said,that the mystery video was done possibly with the help or directions of Team Obama, who would never do such a thing. It was already done to Romney. Good reason for not allowing video devises at his fundraiser meeting. Obama team will never fess up, but is it beyond his bags of tricks. Ask Axelrod, this is his mode of operation, and he would stoop, that low for Obama, just to get his boss reelected. Leaves me wondering about this. Kinda was this already planned??? Your guess is as good as mine.

I can hardly wait until Nov. 6th to see this guy go. Everything about Barry, is a lie. He wants to keep everything under wraps, and he will pay millions to do it. How he gets away with all this crap is beyond me, where is everybody who can take this guy down, they all seem to be hiding in a corner somewhere. Even the Repubs, seem to be working for him, all they do is criticize Romney.

If I had the tendency to put my foot in my mouth as often as DuhOne does, I wouldn't want cameras or mics around either... especially at reelection time. Something might be said that is not only obtuse, offensive and unrealistic, but I might really mean it.

Remember when Russian Premier Gorbachev came to the U.S. all they news that was made over his gold AmEx card. Socialists need bling too! A toast to the most transparent POTUS yet. Yes I really think we can see thru him now, I just hope at least 50.1% more people can!

We need to send one of Ronald Reagan's Grandsons to film these events so we can share all the wonderful Socialist rhetoric Obama will be sharing with his synaptically challenged Hollywood crowd.

350 x $800 = $280,000

This stuff does not bother the 47% in the least. It is just a little shiny baubble to remind that of what is coming when Hussein finishes spreading the wealth.

For the politcal elite who skim the cream, it is just the beginning.

I am serious here.

Very poor judgement. The Impostor is trying real hard to relate to middle America and you flaunt $800.00 bottles of Champagne, 300 of them. You should have been more circumspect, more pedestrian , and limited your choice to $400/500 dollar bottles. Would have been a lot more down to earth.

This reminds me of Kim Jong Il, buying boatloads of French brandy for

his private use while his people in North Korea were starving. The Party

Leaders always live large in communist countries. Deprivation is for the

little people. I hope this Obama party gets a lot of press!

Time to Say Goodbye - Andrea Bocelli. I listen to this everyday when I think of a great get your ass out of here song. Its all in Italian so I have no idea what it says except for the time to say goodbye part. That's the only part I care about though. Get out of here Obama. Time to Say Goodbye!!!

The person who put this display together started with a plan that he ran by his boss, was given a budget that he had to work around, was obsessive and focused in carrying the plan out, was meticulous in its execution, stayed within the confines of his authority and probably never bragged about it afterwards.

The Great Destroyer could take lessons from him (or her).

This is what he LIVES for... rubbing elbows with the elitists who fawn all over him. Life is a party, vacation, golf, campaign, talk show, and when he has time, the signing of yet another executive order. Most transparent POTUS? Not intentionally. It's just that many of us can see right through him.

If you like it then ya' shoulda' put some bling on it?

I wonder how much Jay-Z and Beyoncé know about the history of progressives, socialists and communists in the 20th century. (Not really...you're next you crazy kids)

I wonder if Beyonce sang for Obama. Can you imagine her performing that song for Obama -- shaking her a$$ in his face while Moochele steams. I can see it all now.

You're daydreaming :-)

As an aside though, comparing Beyoncé with Michelle is like comparing a young, pre-drug, Whitney Houston, to a current Whoopi Goldberg.

I won't say which two of the foursome have/had more eye appeal, but will leave that to thoughtful readers. (rimshot)

I wasn't comparing Beyonce and Moochele. What I was trying to say is how slutty Beyonce performs and that Beyonce and Jay Z are low-class enough to think that would be appropriate for a president fundraiser.

OMG, Mike! You maybe on to something my friend. I have seen articles saying that when he was State Senator or Representative that he frequently visited bath houses! But, you know real men would never support that lifestyle as he did a few months ago and especially being President. I know it and you know it!

Interesting question, marketcomp. Is this a repeat of Monica Lewinsky but instead of a dress it's a pair of pants?

If you believe the story being told by the mother of a dead, black, gay man who attended Reverend Wright's blessed church, she claims one Barry Obama was having a gay relationship with TWO different gay men at that church and both of them turned up dead under suspicious circumstances just months before one Barack Obama announced his candidacy for president.

ooow, Mikethemarine, I get that! By the way, I have been wondering, what is up with Obama and this Reggie Love guy, mmm? I mean Obama cannot let this guy go! He paid for him to go to the opening of the olympics. This is a very interesting, to say the least, relationship.
