slow day?

What a couple of just normal run-of-the-mill elitist guys

"Who's taking orders here? My treat to the pool. Who wants a burger?"

Big spender. I'm sure he paid....not.

[OCCASparky]

Well, at least they didn’t fly the burger-flipper on a private jet to make them at the White House.

[MindBender26]

Very.

[TommyDale]

Give this arrogant jerk about 6 more months before his idiot supporters begin to recognize their mistake.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Mingling with the common folk...

[jersey117]

He couldn’t send someone out? Nice to see he has so much time on his hands.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Mingling with the common folk peasants...

[nufsed]

We have personal threads about Obama and Biden everytime they fart. Makes us look like those radical lib sites who critize every movement and personal item about Bush.

If I was president, I'd be at the food joints at least once a week. And no lines because the population of the area would be reduced after my lay-offs of government employees.

Well, they did stand in line like everyone else to order & be served their hamburgers. Got to give them points for that ... fair is fair.

Zero and Plugs are truly everymen — in touch with the common man.

From the NY Post.

“Although a burger goes for a reasonable $7, the yuppie hot spot boasts an extensive selection of artisanal cheeses that cost extra, including aged Danish blue, Chimay a la Bere and Epoisse. They’ve even got an $18 foie gras-topped burger.”

Yep. Not yuppie elitist limousine liberals at all. /s

That's what folks said 6 months ago. ;)

[tanknetter]

Ray’s Hell Burger isn’t bad. But Five Guys is definitely better.

[Soothesayer]

This is so unprofessional that it must be true. Obama seems to think the presidency is a joke.

[Leg Olam]

I agree. I want one week without hearing his name or seeing his or any of his sycophants faces.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

I’m afraid that isn’t going to happen..I had a discussion yesterday with a liberal on the COST of this little trip including secret service, limos, and security required for the #1 and #2 in the nation in the same place at the same time, plus lost wages for those caught in traffic..etc..etc..

Needless to say, the liberal staunchly defended this trip, I didn’t..

Do we have any idea how much this foray into the land of the little people cost the taxpayers?

[Freedom2specul8]

he mentioned work! Tax-write-off

and Bribery...

[La Lydia]

Very slow day, but the Washington Post covered this like it was the Second Coming. With pictures. Etc.
