Go Home The Obama-Clinton Lunch

THE PLANK SEPTEMBER 14, 2009

The Obama-Clinton Lunch

Ben Smith points out that the New York restaurant where Obama lunched with Bill Clinton earlier today--Il Mulino--is the sort of over-the-top Italian place much more to Clinton's epicurean tastes than Obama's. All I can say for Obama is that he's lucky the lunch wasn't in D.C. Otherwise, Clinton might have dragged him to Filomena's, where he used to chow down with Helmut Kohl.

Clinton's micky dee approach to world cuisine is not the point. The point, instead, is this: that Wall Street picked up the tab. Or might as well have. gw
