Debunking the Debunking of Obama's $65k pizza/dog (pizzagate)

submitted ago by rickman

I just read an old thread that claimed to have debunked the suspicious pizza/hot dog party Obama threw. The figures and the email just don't make sense.

Two guys flew in from St Louis' Pi pizza restaurant. Lets imagine they were treated to First class and their flights cost $1200 combined. Google flights has a return trip at just over $500.

The St. Louis Mag interview with the chef has him state

We were treated like kitchen royalty. I couldn't imagine Wolfgang Puck getting treated any better. Chef Comerford met us at the gate, carried our coolers for us

So they had food coolers for their ingredients. How many coolers would they need to make 21 pizzas? From Dailymail

It will feature his signature dishes - ten deep dish and ten thin crust creations. He is also planning a pizza especially for the president.

So 21 pizzas confirmed. 3 coolers? 5? 7? Lets say 7 coolers. One cooler for enough ingredients to make 3 pizzas. Seems excessive but lets allow it. American Airlines states its fees for oversized baggage is $100 for up to 32kgs and $200 for upto 42kgs. I'll play it safe and say the 7 food coolers were under 32kg each. So thats $700.

$1200 + $700 = $1900 which we'll round up to $2000.

Ingredients for 21 pizzas. How much? On Pi's website menu their most expensive deep dish pizza costs $23.45 x 10 = $234.50, make it an even $250. Their most expensive thin crusts are $22.95 x 10 = $229.50 again make it an even $250.

So I'm allowing a very generous $500 total for the ingredients budget for the 20 pizzas. Then there's Obama's special pizza. What the hell lets say they spent $100 on ingredients. Ridiculous.

$2000 + $600 = $2600

Hotels. Maybe put up in the Four Seasons for a couple of nights as well. 2 deluxe rooms for 2 nights with bed and breakfast = $3880.

$2600 + $3880 = $6480 which is basically $6,500.

So if you believe these two chefs used a ridiculous amount of heavy luggage to transport an obscenely expensive amount of ingredients for 21 pizzas, while travelling first class and staying in the finest hotel AND that Fred Burton in his email got their location wrong, got wrong what food they were making, misplaced the comma between 6 and 5 to 5 and 0, then added an extra 0 to make $65,000, and finally alluded to knowing about "the same channels" as used by Obama...well then yes, Hot Dog Friday has been debunked.

Pi Pizza St Louis. Obama's favorite pizza place Remember Reggie Love? He was from St. Louis. There are strange things in that place in the Restaurant Pi. A devil symbol, unless they have remodeled. At least when I researched it with @Wolftrail7272

LMAO Reggie always reminded me of Puff Daddy's alleged gay lover famous umbrella holder dude http://theboombox.com/fonzworth-bentley-diddy-assistant-umbrella-where-is-he-now/

Huh. What did ever happen to Reggie Love? I guess he n' Barry broke up left for other political opportunities.

Here. This is what happened. https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/tag/teabagging/

But in his exclusive-to-subscribers report of November 14, 2011, investigate reporter Wayne Madsen wrote:

“The fallout from Penn State has universities and colleges across the nation checking their records for indications of child abuse and other sex scandals. The Citadel is now embroiled in a scandal involving child sexual abuse by a summer camp counselor. Past gay-oriented sex parties at Duke and the University of North Carolina involving then Duke basketball and football player Reggie Love reportedly cost him his job as President Obama’s ‘body man.’ De facto White House chief of staff Pete Rouse, upon hearing of potential problems regarding Love at Duke and UNC and on the heels of the scandal at Penn State, forced Love to leave the White House staff immediately, even over the objections of Obama.”

Yesterday evening when I began a draft of this post, I had seen on Wikipedia’s entry on Reggie Love a reference to him “overcoming” an un-named “scandal” when he was at Duke University to secure a job in Obama’s Senate office. This morning, however, that reference has disappeared from Wikipedia.

Booker Rising, a website that describes itself as a “news site for black moderates and black conservatives,” has the dirt on Reggie Love.

I will let everyone that wants to read the rest. It has to do with Tea-Bags. It's not pretty. There are pictures and a Warning before the Fateful Photo.

well this is pretty bombshell. Was Reggie in WH during time of $65k pizza n hotdog cookout?

Here is the email talking about the party and it says That was not long ago. Email sent on May 14 2009. Reggie Love was in the WH from January 20, 2009 – November 10, 2011 So I think that means he was there, but we need the date of that party if we can get it.
