Obama Asks Cashier: ‘Are You Gay?’ and That’s Not Even the Most Awkward Part of the Exchange
National Review (Corner) ^ | 7/14/14 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 07/14/2014 4:19:53 PM PDT by madprof98

Mark this down as yet another bizarre interaction during the president’s fundraising trip last week.

During his recent trip to Austin, Texas — after shaking hands with a guy wearing a horse head in Denver — President Obama’s had an exchange with an employee of a popular joint that is raising eyebrows. When the president got up to the register (after cutting in line) at Franklin Barbecue, he was met by cashier Daniel Rugg Webb.

“Equal rights for gay people,” Webb said to the president.

“Are you gay?” President Obama asked, which apparently is a perfectly acceptable, not weird thing to ask that doesn’t involve making any assumptions.

“Only when I’m having sex,” the cashier responded.

The president laughed at Webb’s comment, before saying, “Not in front of the kids.” The two bumped fists before President Obama went on his way.

Well played, bravo!

I admit, slightly out of context. But only very, very slightly.

Nowhere in Texas do queers and BBS go together: except in this one case in Austin. This joint is for the jet-setters that have discovered Austin over the last ten years, try this in any of our established joints and you wouldn’t be shown the door because the owners wouldn’t have allowed you in and this to happen, anyway.

How come we are not allowed to ask Barry if he’s gay? Is it OK to ask his playmate, Reggie? Michelle?

” The two bumped fists before President Obama went on his way.

In other words, he got his number and will give him a call later.

Is this for real? The President is asking people about their sexual preference? Sadly, the guy is more honest than the Prez himself. Oblowme would be forced to answer “uh, no, uh, no, I’m not, uh, gay. Look, see this fine specimen of womanhood to my right?” Slaps a Mooch haunch.

A Republican asking this would be pilloried as homophobic for jumping to conclusions.

Imagine if the cashier re-asked the question to Barry?

I think with our gay Muslim president the correct coded question would be, “got a Camel to spare”?

A conversation we would NEVER have read about:
“Are you gay?” President Obama asked, which apparently is a perfectly acceptable, not weird thing to ask that doesn’t involve making any assumptions.

"No, how about you?" The cashier responded.

Nor would we ever have read about what happened to the cashier...

Obama walks into a sandwich shop. He sees people going to the counter and taking a number, then ordering. The proprietor yells “eleven !” and someone walks to the counter and takes his sandwich. Obama sees someone else taking a number and order a sandwich so he does the same. The proprietor yells “nine” and another customer takes a sandwich.

Finally, the proprietor holds up a sandwich and yells “one!”. Nobody moves. “One”. Still no response. Finally the aggravated proprietor looks at Obama.

“Are you one?” He yells.

Obama jumps up and down, yelling “Are you one too?”

So am I the only one here that felt sick when they heard the fudge packer and chief comments. Something is very wrong here.
