![]() It was merely speculation (or possibly an attempt at humor) about a supposed exorbitant expenditure by the Obama administration. This single message was not proof that President Obama ever purchased $65,000 worth of hot dogs. Stratfor’s Fred Burton responded to an email by writing, “I think Obama spent about $65,000 of the tax-payers money flying in pizza/dogs from Chicago for a private party at the White House not long ago, assume we are using the same channels?” The notion that President Obama purchased $65,000 worth of hot dogs for a private party came from a single email chain published by Wikileaks in October 2012 as part of the so-called “Global Intelligence Files.” This email was not sent by President Obama or any member of his administration rather, the email chain, dated, involved various employees at the intelligence company Stratfor discussing a “Chicago Hot Dog Party.”
