If you read the post they linked to, you'll see that Obama's $200 paid for two Kobe burgers, two organic chicken sandwiches, and one order of Dover sole. That's $40 per person, assuming 5 people were eating, and four of those $40 <i>meals</i> were just sandwiches (two of them were <i>organic chicken sandwiches,</i> which probably cost about $15 each). Kobe burgers? What a waste of great beef (though it probably wasn't authentic Kobe anyway)! The Clintons' $1530 order got them 20 entrees as well as "salads, sashimi, rock shrimp and various side dishes." Sounds like an actual meal for her senior campaign staff - and it's about what you'd pay for the same quantity of food in DC or Chicago, nevermind what you'd pay for it in New York.
