"Drewno sent signature items to the Obamas’ table: tuna tartare cones, squares of suckling pig, tandoori Arctic char. The first couple make a point of having those items added to the bill." We cannot by this presume that B Hussein or the Mrs actually partook of the suckling pig.

There's some question on HillBuzz whether Ulsterman's "White House Insider" is a genuine source a la Deep Throat or a pastiche of sources and perhaps speculation. In any case, the WHI's messages are increasingly like this:
...[Obama's] primary focus is now getting elected in ‘12. Everything else has been given over to Jarrett and her group. Everything. The president has no interest in policy. None. No interest in working legislation. None. No interest in forging a specific agenda. None. He is being told what he needs to say and that is it. That is the extent of his interest. “Just make it look good.” Exact words right there. President Obama is obsessed 24/7 with just “looking good”. If something goes well, he gets happy and outgoing. If something makes him look badly, he lashes out and pouts. The man is bouncing off both of those extremes even more now than he used to and it appears to be getting worse and worse. The word “manic” is being used more and more regarding his moods these days.......Jarrett expressed concern over possible newly passed eligibility requirements in states. If only one or two states clarify eligibility in order to run for office, White House will simply use those states as examples of “anti-Obama racism”. ...
...Others are now willing to let their observations be more known. Concern for the country is now winning over concern for their own political interests. Finally....
