President Obama is spending the second day of his Midwest economic bus tour in Iowa focusing on rural jobs and the economy, starting with a surprise stop for breakfast with small business owners.

Following a quick morning workout at the Team Rehab gym in Decorah, President Obama was off and rolling through Iowa en route to Peosta. The president’s 26-vehicle motorcade passed through Garnavillo and Calmar, before stopping in Guttenberg, Iowa, for breakfast at Rausch’s Cafe.

The president is now rolling to Peosta, Iowa, for the White House Rural Economic Forum, where Obama is expected to announce several initiatives aimed at boosting rural economic growth.

Does Obama leave a decent tip, I hope?????

For whatever prestige there is for this cafe to brag that the president visited, they have lots of security and other headaches to cope with, when a president visits.

Obama is expected to announce several initiatives aimed at boosting rural economic growth.

He'll probably create a new Department of Manure Shoveling, to help spread the wealth around.

Everything this guy touches turns to sh*t. It's the opposite of the Midas touch - the Obama Touch.

This little tour is to show that not everyone hates him....BUT...look at the demographics of these places...this is the WHITEY TOUR (I said it)....

Any uprising...and you'll be called a racist. Might also call it the "Eat your peas and hush whitey" tour.

The tour is a joke!!
