Obama urges families to ‘shop for some outstanding organic foods’
Washington Beacon ^ | May 16, 2012

President Obama told reporters today that mortgage refinancing should be made easier “because they’ve got an extra $2,000 in their pocket. Then they can buy more hoagies or go shop for some outstanding organic foods,” according to pool reports.

The president was speaking at a small business roundtable attended by the owners of D.C.-based Taylor Gourmet, a sandwich shop, and Yes! Organic Markets.

The president spent $62.79 on sandwiches at Taylor Gourmet, and ordered a foot-long “Spruce Street” hoagie, “which has roast turkey, prosciutto, roasted red peppers, and sharp provolone,” according to the pool.

"We have come too far to abandon the change we fought for these past few years.
We have to move forward to the future we imagined in 2008 where everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules.
That’s the choice in this election and that’s why I’m running for a second term as President of the United States.”

~Barack Obama

Was that $62.79 for one sandwich? It’s sure not clear from the article.

and pay 35K to have Obama walk past your dinner table while you are eating your organic hogie with fully-tire-inflated car somewhere outside ready to take you home to you underwater-mortgaged home where sleep all day because you have no job to go to.

Am I the only one imagining some hard-nosed Democrat strategists engaged in double facepalms — when they’re not pounding their heads against the wall?

Seriously! I am gleefully gobsmacked! This is going to fly like a lead toolbox.

The country is coming apart at the seams, Europe is imploding, racial tensions have never been higher in my entire life, and what do we get from this hamster?

Free contraceptives, gay marriage, organic foods!

I think somebody needs to put Snakehead Carville on a suicide watch.

Not to stop him, you understand. It’s just that if he offs himself, I want to see it on YouTube.

What the president doesn't seem to know is that a number of studies have concluded that eating "organic" foods offer no health benefits.

This is as empty as most of the Obama's administrations policies.....

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Obama has become a joke, a laughingstock. I think the guy knows he’s going to lose and he’s losing it.
