Obammmma fried chicken is all pork.
It’s “hawk”, not “hock” and how do they know he doesn’t love watermelon?

This is just.........effing hilarious! HAHAHAHAHA!
“It’s like saying Obama is a watermelon lover.”

I did not have a huge problem with the name, but the Obama Happy Meal, fried chicken, colored greens and a Colt 45 crossed the line.
