Barbecue.
Did you think he would go to the border? Nuh uh. I thought he would. But I gave him too much credit. Instead, the president headed for a rib joint!
He cut in line, but paid off the unlucky barbecue seekers.
From the pool report:
After POTUS finished at Austin’s Paramount, motorcade sped east just past I-35 to Franklin’s, a hugely popular barbecue spot that was packed. Pool squeezed in just as POTUS reached the head of the line at the counter to order.
He apologized to the two at the head of the line for cutting in front of them, but offered to buy their lunch — along with the takeout for the rest of his party. The tattooed workers patiently waited for POTUS to sort out his order.
When POTUS got to the register to pay, he produced a wad of 20s for an order that came to exceed $300, then asked trip director Marvin Nicholson if his (the president’s) credit card is good. MN assured POTUS it is, so the bill was paid on credit, a JP Morgan card.
Couldn’t hear POTUS’s complete order (or exact total), but can tell you that the two lucky people he cut ahead of — Bruce Finstad of Houston and his daughter Faith Finstad of Austin — got as a presidential gift 3 lbs of beef, 2 lbs of ribs, a half-pound of sausage and a half-pound of turkey for themselves and two other family members already seated...

A bath house was my first guess.
The best part of this article is how the two Ted Cruz voters that Obama cut in front of decided to increase their order by a few pounds once they found out Obama was paying for it.

What Obama doesn’t understand is that he cut in front of everyone in that line not just the two that happened to be ready to order.
A wad of twenties???
Doesn’t he have a real wallet?
It's good to be the king!
It’s called walking around cash. Probably came out of some agency’s jobs budget, or pay for an additional VA doctor.
Ok, I now understand Sean Hannity’s snarky remark on his show last night - when asked something about touring the border more - he said, “I’d rather be eating ribs.” It didn’t make sense to me at the time, but it sure does now.
The wait at Franklin’s can be 4 or 5 hours and when they run out of meat they close. I bet there were some angry, hungry folks in the back
What for? A driver's license, birth certificate, social security card ?
I don't think he carries any ID.
His healthy-eating ‘wife’ Bigfoot is gonna have his skinny a**
unless he brings back several pounds of BBQ meat for her.

They were lucky they weren’t charged $100 each for the opportunity to bask in The One’s presence.
