Pinkies Up Alert! The *Flashiest Hostess In London* Thinks Obama is an Elitist

That would be Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild. Bwaahahahahahah. From Radar

This is a woman, mind you, who splits her time between New York and London, who is the CEO of E.L. Rothschild, a holding company that manages hundreds of millions of dollars in investments across the world, and who is the mistress of two grand British estates.

In 2006 she told London's Financial Times, "Frankly, for the last 15 years I haven't had to work at all." This is someone who understands average Americans.

Forester grew up in New Jersey, attended law school at Columbia and married former New York City council president and Ann Coulter's ex BF Andrew Stein. After too much time as a lawyer, Forester got in the communications business and got rich. Then in 2000 she married Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, 23 years her senior, in what Forbes called "the deal of a lifetime."

Um. Perhaps this isn't the best person for a man who has so many houses he can't remember how many to try to blast Obama for being elite. heh.

More on this RICH ELITE WOMAN from W magazine.

A recent tour of the house, now completed, revealed a climate-control system in good working order and faucets that magically dispense water of variable temperature. Among the other apparent signs of Lynn’s modernizing influence: a Bill Viola video piece commissioned for the living room (it hangs directly above a Louis XVI commode); a Donald Judd on the dining room wall; a state-of-the-art screening room; and a gym, with a mirrored ceiling for Lynn’s stretching sessions.

But then there’s the Renoir sculpture in the breakfast room, and Sir Evelyn’s collection of Bugatti elephants in the traditional book-lined study. In fact, the home is a fusion of the 19th and 21st centuries (a brand-new structure now adjoins Sargent’s original one) and a fitting emblem of the Rothschilds’ merger, itself an unpredictable mélange of the New and Old Worlds.

...

Dressed in a Valentino suit for this morning’s photo shoot, Lynn comes across as a cheerful and energetic package of sleek, polished blondness—like Diane Sawyer with a perma-grin. You’d never guess that she was at a dinner in Paris until very late last night and in India on business the day before, or that tonight she’s having 30 people over for a Hillary Clinton fundraiser. Before she met Sir Evelyn, she was a wealthy woman in her own right and a classic New York workaholic, having made millions with several telecom ventures (though her last cellular company, FirstMark, tanked during the 2001 dot-com bust).

... and she's even described as moving in elite circles.

Of course, in London’s elite social circles, where friendliness and ambition are viewed with more suspicion than in Lynn’s native New Jersey, her nonstop sparkle has inevitably ignited a fire or two. Last spring, when she organized a New York fundraiser for an organization she chairs, American Patrons of Tate, virtually every heavy hitter in the art world turned up; Lynn also convinced her friend Prime Minister Tony Blair to host a reception at 10 Downing Street for some of her VIP American buddies, including Ron Burkle, Sid Bass and other billionaires who’d written checks to the Tate for at least $25,000. To Lynn’s surprise, the British press slammed the event as an act of self-promotion, particularly for Blair, who was about to leave office and was alleged to be networking for his next job.

Seems pretty hilarious for THIS woman to be calling Obama ELITE. Give me a break.
