Even Obama's Personal Chef Is Leaving Him
One of the perks of being a president: having your own personal, taxpayer-funded chef. And in the case of Barack Obama, this means an instrumental player in the development of Michelle Obama's controversial "school lunch program", one who also happens to be "Executive Director of the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative, the first-ever White House Senior Policy Advisor on Nutrition, and personal chef to the First Family." He name is, or rather his name was Sam Kass, because alongside pretty much everyone else close to Obama in recent few years, Chef Kass is done feeding the First Stomach and is also getting the hell out of Dodge the White House.
As Washington Examiner reports, "the first family’s personal chef, whose influence extended well beyond the kitchen to putting a honey bee hive on the South Lawn and running Michelle Obama’s kiddie health program “Let’s Move,” is resigning.
“His departure concludes a tenure of dedicated service not only to the First Family, but also to the Obama Administration as a key player in the development of nutrition policy,” said the White House in a statement.
Kass recently married Alex Wagner, host of MSNBC’s daytime program "Now with Alex Wagner." He is moving to New York.
Kass was never the top White House chef, a job held by Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford, but his ties to the first family dating back to their residence in Chicago gave him more influence than any past chef.
Some past chefs have established themselves as culinary advance men, bringing new cuisines, foods and wines to the attention of the country. But Kass worked both in the kitchen and on policy and had the titles “Executive Director of the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative,” the first-ever “White House Senior Policy Advisor on Nutrition” and personal chef to the first family.
Some of the value added initiatives created by chef Kass: he was key in establishing the first lady’s veggie garden and even agreed to have a beehive installed to help pollinate the garden. And he used the honey to brew some White House beer.
So, let them eat McDonalds? Judging by the unprecedented collapse in MCD sales, not yet.
Here is the official statement from the White House:
WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCES THE DEPARTURE OF SAM KASS
Today the White House announced the departure of Sam Kass, Executive Director of the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative, the first-ever White House Senior Policy Advisor on Nutrition, and personal chef to the First Family. Kass will leave the White House at the end of the month to live full-time in New York City. His departure concludes a tenure of dedicated service not only to the First Family, but also to the Obama Administration as a key player in the development of nutrition policy.
“From constructing our Kitchen Garden to brewing our own Honey Brown Ale, Sam has left an indelible mark on the White House,” said President Obama. “And with the work he has done to inspire families and children across this country to lead healthier lives, Sam has made a real difference for our next generation. Over the years, Sam has grown from a close friend to a critical member of my team, and I am grateful for his outstanding work and look forward to seeing all that he will continue to achieve in the years ahead.”
“Sam has been an integral part of Let's Move! from its very beginning -- from discussions about children's health around my kitchen table in Chicago, to setting the strategic vision of a national campaign in the White House, to spearheading efforts with the private sector across the country,” said First Lady Michelle Obama. “Sam leaves an extraordinary legacy of progress, including healthier food options in grocery store aisles, more nutritious school lunches, and new efforts that have improved how healthy food is marketed to our kids. I wish Sam success in all his future endeavors, and I know he will continue to be a leader in the vitally important work to build a healthier country.”
Kass will remain engaged with the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative and the continuing effort to advance childhood nutrition. His successor will be named in the new year.
And for all those curious what the White House kitchen looks like, here is Obama's now ex-chef, Sam Kass, giving the guided tour:

He had moral objections to Obama's preferred dishes having the blood of children as an ingredient?
Acid. Reflux.
Nahhh.
He just had enough of getting knocked over by Moosechelle rampaging for the fridge after preaching her starvation diet at another high school!
Now he can go back to McDonalds.
He was given a silver nail gun gift before departing
I didn't run for culinary school to be making fried chicken.
Yeah, but what about the presidential taster?
We feed som folks!
Obummer is bought and paid for.
Fucked up? Hell yeah, but a symptom more so than the cause.
Obummer is the face of how fucked up things are, looking back at us.
"We butt-fucked some folks", and smiling. Pathetic.
A hodge-podge of vile interests sewn together by a seemstress on acid.
" ... there was some evidence of drinking [at the Whitehouse] during prohibition ..." [ref 3:40 in video]
This should tell you everything you need to know about how these criminal, corrupt, and illigitimate dictators view you and their so called laws. EVEN THE CONSTITUTION MEANS NOTHING TO THEM [18th amendment prohibited alcohol].
Yep and Jack Kennedy made sure he had plenty of Cuban cigars before he imposed the embargo. The rules only apply to the little people.
The Deep fried dog chops were too much to handle.
He didn't RUN for culinary school? No wonder this country is fucked.
Really suspicious timing... perhaps he added too much pepper to Obama's favorite dish, sauted baby Mexican immigrant livers...
How many food-tasters left?
"How many food-tasters left?"
Hopefully none, and hopefully the chef will prepare a very special "last supper" for the Cocksucker-In-Chief.
It's geting hot in the kitchen at Obama house
Send the WH a crate full of school lunches. If it's good enough for the chilluns, it's good enough for them.
But, who will taste the kings food to make sure he isn't poisoned?!?!?
He got tired of tossing Barry's salad.
What's the matter? He wouldn't agree to cook wearing only an apron like his boy Reggie?
He had moral objections to Obama's preferred dishes having the blood of children as an ingredient?...
+1000
The Zionist Yids from Israel trained the "pet" so well that when she invites them to the White House to hunker down over their favorite meal "blood libel stew" they feel like they are at home! Best of all what doesn't get eaten goes straight to underground organ trafficing in Tel Aviv!
So glad you grabbed the first place at the top with this!
You are probably right, but it took him long enough.
My impression is who fucking cares? But I'm sure plenty do.
So he's pissed off the gay's now huh?
A gay tribe member at that. See my post below.
Serving a dish of bull$h!t every day must have gotten pretty boring...
...probably got tired of preparing cream of mushroom soup everday for 6 six years.
Or cream of sumyunguy.
Good for you Sam,
And thanks for not feeding the lying SOB that much.
Who will prepare Reggie's special creamy sauces for the boy-king now?
(I'm having too much fun in this thread. Somebody stop me.)
(I'm having too much fun in this thread. Somebody stop me.)
"ND, stop commenting, you suck at it. You're a worthless p***e of A******n s**t and you'll never amount to anything. And you know what, nobody loves you here, so take a hike."
Is this what you had in mind? Always happy to oblige. Besides, you've been collecting far too many green arrows lately: I can't keep up with you and that bothers me no end.
On a different note, if you guys really don't like your president, I can always send over a couple of my relatives to cook for him. It won't be a painless ending though.
Before this will get out of hand --> disclaimer: I refuse, I repeat refuse to use the sarc tag - you guys will always have to figure it out for yourselves.
No, I understood. Agreed on the use of sarc tags. Never touch them. You get it or you don't.
That is a shitty job to have in the first place if you are a chef. Jacques Pépin turned down being the first cook when he got to Merca because he already did it once in France. Good for the resume but bad for the psyche.
His shirt is so cool! Does he get to keep it?
he fed some folks
We ate some folks ... there ya go.
they need a sausage expert
What about the Emperor's taste testers? Have they left or are they refusing to "test" cookies from Reid & Pelosi? I want the real news, not some shit like whether or not the gay chef is leaving.

How many chefs for the king liar?
Watch out for the nailguns and magical invisible knives in the kitchen there Sam.
Even the head chef was from the Tribe! JFC No wonder the national lunch program seemed to be designed to starve the goy children in the public school systems.

Pretty much everything that's 'federalized' is fucked up and/or corrupt.
And increasing federal control in all aspects has been the arc in my lifetime.
Have anything to do with O's sore throat?
I guess it was time to leave after Obama is rushed to the hostipal with acid reflux.
Probably wasn't making enough moonlighting a second Job as a Spy
I don't care who his fucking chef is, he is still a shit weasel.
chef is tired of tasting barry's food
barry was rushed to hospital recently
http://mrconservative.com/2014/12/53505-obama-rushed-to-hospital-the-dia...
someone trying to poison barry? of course not. LOL
chef is tired of tasting barry's [strike]food[strike] sausage
Kinda OT, but speaking of 'getting out of Dodge' (in the headline), I recently noticed some Dodge commercials, touting one of their early models.
On its grille is a prominently displayed Six Star. Really? Wazzup with that?
I guess he got tired of tossing Obama's salad.
Maybe he REFUSED to toss obamas salad.
Shellshock in the kitchen, tables overturned.
He proved that diet cannot correct the flawed.
Sounds more like a cost cutting measure, Obama can get their fried chicken, watermelon and malt liquor from the local KFC & supermarket.
Looks like the Polonium pudding was too rich...
Damn it! I'm on a conference call right now. Please stop posting things that make me laugh so hard! LOL
I suppose it would be in poor 'taste' to leave Obama with a note that said:
"You didn't cook that"
That might leave a bad taste in his (Obama's) mouth.
And the tax stamp?
THROW THEM IN GATES PRISON SYSTEM NOW!!!
to many congressional, fofa request coming the next 2 yrs..
i'd like to put him on the stand, first question, how many, besides you, of o'bama family friends became instant millionaires, with the 4-5- billion dollars congress turned over to mrs o'bama very early in 2009, for (lets move)?
Actually he quit because O and Yellen couldn't convince the ECB to do QE by year's end. He has a shit ton of European stocks and wanted to cash in.
Guess Barry wouldn't give him the courtesy of a "Reach Around"
he's fried his last chicken and grilled his last watermelon
So who's this Alex Wagner dude? A gay?
To bad Obama isn't a big puffer fish fan.
Dude looks like Powder.
The chefs marketability for a high-priced chef job somewhere is at a peak right now. The chef will have a lower marketability for special cooking jobs after Obama's term is over. It would be interesting to know what his next cooking job will be. Some oligarch would love to say 'my shift used to be the president's chef'.
Ha. We used to brag about snagging the Canadian Ambassador's chef away from him. The chef was awesome! He'd make everything from scratch. Streudel, nokedli, etc.
A chef is a cook who knows how to swear in French.
No fried chicken and watermelon jokes? I am disappoint.
Excellent reporting guys, thanks for the great information. This website just keeps getting better and better!
What do you feed a peter puffer and his 'wife'? Tubesteak smothered with spotted dick? I guess Obama will go back to this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPBLpzWd_p4
Huh.... No one picked up on this douche married to a Media shill for the administration? That I am sure was no conflict of interest or a pay off on behalf bathhouse Barry.
Sam mass is married to Alex Wagner.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Wagner
She's pretty damn hot . Maybe the wookie had him fired because Barry said, " now why can't you look more feminine like the cooks wife?"
Maybe Barry had "acid reflux"because Tarfur kicked him so hard in the berries.
Now that we know he is straight maybe Barry got mad he wouldn't toss his salad but the wookie got mad because Barry wanted to toss sam's and not Tarfur's.
If I were the next residents in the White House I'd have the bed burned as my first executive order.
The bee keeper is in my beekeeping club... Charlie, he is also the head WH carpender. Great guy!!
Who new that you needed an uber-pricy professional chef to dream up those ratshit skanky school lunches that all the kids are rebelling against.
Last year, when I went to my kid's high school "Thanksgiving Lunch", I was astounded at how horrible it was. All bread was wheat, which was disgusting, no salt or pepper, and they didn't allow them to even have PLASTIC knives. Right then, I vowed that next year would be different.
This year, I started cooking small fresh Turkeys the day before, white bread rolls, mashed potatoes/gravy, salted green beans, white bread rolls, and a nice chocolate pie dessert. I also packed up real SILVERWARE(with knives) for MY kids. I was so happy to do it!
I brought in 8 Fresh Turkeys, ALONG with all of the above, and half the cafeteria gathered around our table, and I didn't charge them a thing. Many of them said that it was the best Turkey they've ever had. The school Principal(and some other assholes) stood there and watched at a distance with an expression of pure hatred on their faces.
For the past month, both of my high school kids have gotten continuous thanks. They wanted to know if I was coming back next year. LOL
Queer as a 3 dollar bill.
