Obama Expects Michelle Flack After Wing Joint Dinner (But not for the reason you think)
US News and World Report's Washington Whispers ^ | October 25, 2011 | Lauren Fox

This wouldn't be the first time President Obama has gotten in trouble with his wife Michelle for eating junk out on the campaign trail, but this time health conscious Michelle may be upset for an entirely different reason.

When the president stopped by Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles in West L.A. Monday night, he confided to manager David Daviston that he was going to catch flack for it back home. But he didn't expect healthy eater in chief Michelle Obama to be bummed because her husband ordered the distinctly unhealthy "No. 9, 'Country Boy,'" which included three wings and a waffle slathered in butter and syrup. Rather, he thought she'd be irritated that he stopped by the wing joint without her. Even the most diligent health nuts have their guilty pleasures and Roscoe's is one of Michelle's according to Daviston, who says the Obamas have dined with him before.

"Yeah, Obama said he knew he was going to be hearing from his wife and daughters when they found out he'd stopped by without them," restaurant manager David Daviston says.

Obama didn't just hoard the chicken for himself though, he also ordered for aides Valerie Jarrett, Jay Carney, David Plouffe, and Marvin Nicholson.

Daviston didn't let Obama leave without a peace offering. The manager sent Obama on his way with a case of blueberry pomegranate Pit Bull energy drinks knowing that chicken and waffles wouldn't last on a trip back to the White House.

"Obama took the drinks for his family, I don't know who'll end up with 'em maybe Secret Service if they need the extra boost," Daviston says.

Obama isn't the first commander and chief to stop by Roscoe's, but Daviston says his visit was one of the most relaxed.

"Usually, when the president comes, his Secret Service is really bossy and you don't get to shake the president's hand or anything. This time, Obama just walked around the restaurant, chatting with people. It was a nice visit."

One young guest Obama stopped to shake hands with was so moved by the experience that he swore he'd never wash his hand again.

Ah, yes. A typical Obama voter.

What my first post was supposed to say:

It’s like they combined the Beverly Hillbillies, the Jeffersons, Idiocracy and Being There, and not in a good way!

I think it was a 14 year old kid. Probably hadn’t washed his hand for a week anyway.

“When the president stopped by Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles in West L.A. Monday night,”

Roscoes is at Pico Blvd. and La Brea Ave. That is not West L.A.. It is near the mid-Wilshire area. I know it is a minor point, but this is one more example of the lame stream media getting it wrong. They just make it up as they go along.

They will end up in the trash if the Secret Service has anything to do with it or if we had a President that had a clue. You don't let the President take gifts from total strangers and expect them to actually consume them IN NORMAL TIMES.

Wow! If Michelle Obama finds out Barry was flirting with Michelle Flack, he's going to be in a lot of trouble!

BTW, it is FLAK (Fliegerabwehrkanone).

"The manager sent Obama on his way with a case of blueberry pomegranate Pit Bull energy drinks knowing that chicken and waffles wouldn't last on a trip back to the White House."

Obviously this guy didn't know that Bambi was heading to a Hollywood fundraising dinner after he scarfed down the wings.

"This time, Obama just walked around the restaurant, chatting with people. It was a nice visit."

Well of course he's going to shuck and jive. He's up for re-election.

Of the two of them, he looks a lot better physically than she does, IMO. What’s her butt measurement up to these days? Three ax handles?

Wasn’t it Beaumont Livingston in “Jackie Brown” that was promised a meal at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffle? Keep thinking of his untimely demise in the trunk of a Buick.
