SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- President Barack Obama wants reporters to do the unthinkable: keep a secret.

Obama sat down Tuesday afternoon for a Southern-style lunch at Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room, a popular restaurant and tourist attraction in Savannah, Ga. In front of him was a plate piled high with fried chicken and bowls of beans, sweet potatoes, greens and macaroni and cheese.

Turning to reporters who accompanied him on the trip, Obama said he didn't want to hear any lectures about his cholesterol. And above all, he said, don't tell his wife, first lady Michelle Obama, about his lunch.

Why do I think he’d rather have steak and potatoes and coke and hard liquor to wash it down.

Bwaaaahahahahah.

Buttociated Press thinks they can sell that lie.

This is the same media that covered up Obama's smoking, ignored the ties between Obama's political career and hate mongers, terrorists, and Marxists.

"the unthinkable"

Keep spinning, American Pravda.

Two for me, none for thee. He can eat what he wants and we pay for his healthcare but if we have high cholesterol, diabetes or are overweight they will either deny coverage or charge us a penalty — the fat tax, the lipid tax....

“Obama said he didn’t want to hear any lectures about his cholesterol. And above all, he said, don’t tell his wife,”

Always telling others what to do.

Bush would’ve be more cordial. Pbbbbtt.

You do not have to be fat to have high cholesterol and a drinking problem.
