Obama really loves his pizza.

What a douchetool.

How much does Obama love his pizza? So much that he is willing to fly a chef 860 miles to Washington D.C. to make him a personal pizza.

When you're the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do - even if that means flying a chef 860 miles.

Chris Sommers, 33, jetted into Washington from St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday with a suitcase of dough, cheese and pans to to prepare food for the Obamas and their staff.

He had apparently been handpicked after the President had tasted his pizzas on the campaign trail last autumn.

Hey, you guys know what says you are really sincere about this whole Global Warming thing that you want to use to justify an economy crushing cap and trade program? Jetting a dude across the country to make you a freaking pie.

And you know what says you have a real solid handle on the economic concerns of citizens who are struggling through the recession? Jetting a dude across the country to "hand toss your dough".

It's not as if you can't get pizza in Washington. I know. I eat at Armand's Chicago Pizzeria a lot. It's pretty damn good. And conveniently located on Capitol Hill! I even saw Joe Biden there once. So, you know, you could probably get directions.

Now, granted, the good folks at Armand's probably don't make the "Hyde Park" (a special Obama pizza topped with chicken and hot sauce) but they are willing to work with you on the toppings. If you are looking for something with a little zing, I would recommend the "Sgt. Pepper". But then you would expect that from a Beatles fan.

I am disappointed in one thing, though.

If you are gonna fly a chef nearly 2000 miles round trip to make you some specialty pizzas, shouldn't you have gone the whole nine yards and asked for arugula?

Or is that a sacrifice you are making for the "common good"? If so, Courage, little buckeroo. Courage.

An afterthought: You know, Democrats, Obama is the head of your party. You freaking own him.

So I don't want to see you lecturing the CEO's of bailout companies about using private jets to petition the government, when your guy is jetting dudes across the country to make him a few slices of 'Za.

Why? If I may modify a riff from Jeff Goldstein: "BECAUSE OF THE PIZZA!"
