...A White House “Alice in Wonderland” costume ball — put on by Johnny Depp and Hollywood director Tim Burton — proved to be a Mad-as-a-Hatter idea that was never made public for fear of a political backlash...

made me think of this

Then the Obamas went inside, where an invitation-only affair for children of military personnel and White House administrators unfolded in the East Room.

Lousy freeloading dependents of Socialists thinking that they can have a "Halloween Party"...

 

[?????]

Obama would've looked so racist dressed up with a powdery white face as the Mad Hatter.

kinda hard to believe... especially given the following quip from the article...

Kantor’s book details more personal aspects of the Obama White House, serving up glimpses of the first couple’s marriage, parenting, sometimes tense handling of staff issues and even the president’s sly sense of humor when it comes to race.
One morning during his Senate campaign, Obama didn’t show up to a meeting with donors. “After a frantic search, a white staffer named Peter Coffey called Obama’s barbershop to find that, yes, he was there.”

The president confronted Coffey about the call later that day.

“ ‘The relationship between a black man and his barber is sacred,’ Obama bellowed . . . ‘For failing to understand this truth, your punishment is to watch the movie “Barbershop.” And for further punishment, you will then watch the sequel, “Barbershop 2.” ’ ”

Are you daring to question The NY Post's journalistic credentials??

By the way, the amount of vitriol in those comments directed towards a Halloween party for the children of US servicemen and women is both pathetic and also not surprising...

Support our troops, right?

The wonders of privilege.

It sounded like they invited a bunch of famous people, not rebuilt Disneyland inside the White House.
