OBAMA CELEBRATES DEBT HIKE: 1,700-CALORIE BURGER BINGE

Good Stuff marks the latest stop in Mr. Obama's Hamburger Diplomacy in and around Washington.

He famously treated Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to a burger at Ray's Hell Burger, which is across the Potomac in Arlington. And he's also frequented Five Guys, an institution in the Washington area that has now spread its franchises across the country.

But in hitting Good Stuff the president is invading territory more to his wife's liking. Mrs. Obama has been there several times, and even has a burger named after her: The Michelle Melt Free Range Turkey Burger.

Despite Mrs. Obama's push for healthy eating, burgers are a clear favorite of the president's — or, more exactly, cheeseburgers. It's been his most common order on campaign and official presidential stops.

It was his first meal on Air Force One, and since his appearance on the national stage as a presidential candidate it has been his most common order on campaign and official presidential stops.

His order on Wednesday: burger, fries and a shake.

According to MyFitnessPal.com, an Obama Burger has 825 calories and a toasted marshmallow shake is 456 calories.

An order of fries at most restaurants clocks in at 400-500 calories.

“Michelle eats here all the time, but I don’t get out,” Mr. Obama said of his wife, who’s had a burger named after her on the Good Stuff menu.

The lunch group included Mr. Obama’s budget director, Jack Lew; Vice President Joe Biden‘s chief of staff, Bruce Reed; the director of the National Economic Council, Gene Sperling; the White House’s top laison to Congress, Rob Nabors; and deputy White House Chief of Staff Nancy Ann DeParle. Mr. Obama sat at the table with a burger, fries and a salad in front of him, according to a pool report. The president was apparently in a good mood, sharing his spread with fellow diners, including 11-year-old Andrew Parker, who said Mr. Obama told him to choose any milkshake he wanted from his table.

They need to go to Waco, Texas to Fat Ho Burgers. Michelle should get the “Supa Fly Ho with Bacon and Cheese.”

David Letterman used to give away hams that were named after her....Big Ass Ham.

KFC should put “Thunder Thighs” on their menu in her honor.

Look at the size of that spoonful of food- and dripping. Seen pics of Big Mo eating the same way. No manners at all.
