Wednesday morning, the president visited Taylor Gourmet, a D.C. sandwich shop where he conducted a small-business roundtable.

    ” While there, he also picked up a bite to eat — and, evidently, brandished it at reporters.” The jokes write themselves.

    Hmmm... do I go with the obvious “gay Obama meme” joke or the obvious “druggie Obama meme” joke on this one?
Oh well, either way I’m sure he’s quite eager to get that in his mouth!

    What did he actually say as he raised his hoagie? The clerk in background, seems to think he actually going to throw it at someone.

    I didn’t know “hoagie” was used in Washington. I saw Emily Miller use it on Twitter today, too.
