Last night,Watch Daddy Issues xxx movie 5 (2016) President Obama enjoyed his final state dinner the way all presidents should: With fine wine, star comedians and really earnest jokes.
Obama used the occasion to honor Italy, a longtime American ally who "just happens" to have some of the best cuisine on the planet. The president invited celebrity chef Mario Batali to help cater the event, and invited key Italian-Americans in politics including Nancy Pelosi, the house minority leader and Andrew Cuomo, the New York governor.

"The political ups and downs, the successes and the setbacks -- those things are fleeting,” Obama said. “What matters in the end is what we build. What matters is what we leave behind -- the things that will endure long after we are gone."
The president's speech further honored Italy, and used the country's architecture and literature as metaphors for the state of American politics:
"Tonight, we're reminded that American democracy has been graced by the touch of Italy," Obama said. "We look at the dome of the US Capitol and marvel at the touch of Brumidi. Yet some days our presidential campaigns can seem like Dante's Inferno."
On the menu for the evening were Batali-approved dishes including warm butternut squash salad, beef tenderloin layered with bresaola, green apple crostata with thyme caramel, and something literally called "pasta pillow."

Renzi, who invited Obama to visit Italy and compared the White House tomatoes to ones grown in his home country, congratulated First Lady Michelle Obama on her work on the campaign, couching the nod in a subtle diss.
"Michelle, after last week let me be frank -- your speeches are better than your tomatoes," he said.
