Did Michelle Obama Gorge on Lobster? Or Not?

Yesterday, the story about Michelle Obama being at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City on Wednesday while her husband was at a meeting during which she supposedly had room service bring her a platter of lobster hors d'oeuvres, 2 whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne was all over the Internet, Cable TV News and talk radio.

I first heard it on Rush Limbaugh.

And now today I get a comment to yesterday's blog about Michelle Obama's good taste in seafood.

Someone calling him or herself dynosaurusrex had this to say......

"Michelle Obama held a rally in Fort Wayne Indiana at 1pm on Wednesday....she wasn't even at the Waldorf when she was "ordering" lobster etc."

I Googled to see if the above was true. I could find nothing. All I found was more info about Michelle and the lobsters. Okay, I looked again with a better search string, that being "Michelle Obama Fort Wayne Indiana." Turns out she was in Indiana on Wednesday, campaigning for her husband.

So, who was this impersonator in New York City ordering all that lobster in Michelle Obama's name? It's all very perplexing. I think Rush Limbaugh started this rumor.

The time on the receipt read
16:04 pm She was in Indiana at 1;00PM
There is a hour time difference between the two states.
That would make it 6:00 pm not 4:00 pm.
So are you trying to say she could not Make it to New Your in 7 hours?

The time on the receipt was 16:04
That would make it 6:00 pm
in New York 5:00 pm in Indiana
If she gave a speech at 1:00 pm
She could be in New York at 6:00 pm

16:04 is 4:04 pm or 3:04 pm Indiana time. Which would give her 3 hours to get to NY. Not sure where some of you learned math or time.
