Foeller and Dilley said Obama ate half of a cheese sandwich and skipped the ham in his split pea soup. "He's a pretty tall and slender guy," said Dilley. "Maybe that's why."

I know this has been commented on Drudge, Gateway Pundit and probably here but I just have to point out (because I find it very telling and funny) the second to the last line of this article. He eats his cheeseburger, but skips the pork. I wonder why?

Were these 3 guys vetted by Kerry?
Because, I don’t know a single vet who would stop for the socialist Kenyan.

No Christian skips the ham in a bowl of split pea soup. He’s a Muslim, and there is no escaping that fact.

Useful idiots.

And our beloved leader does not eat ham? Do tell?

Foeller said Obama listened sympathetically as he talked about the problems rural veterans have getting access to health care and was quick to knock down a rumor ... that members of the National Guard would get a pay cut.

Obama also talked about how he's worked to help veterans more easily apply their military training to certifications they need for civilian employment, whether as a welder or nurse.

So the first thing on these vets' minds are "Where's ours?". Pathetic. Don't get me wrong, those benefits are earned, but you'd think they'd be a little concerned about the stability and safety of the nation they served.

First you have to realize that Oregon, like its southern neighbor California... is chocked full of fruits and nuts of the liberal persuasion--

Did anyone use silverware? Or did they eat with their hands like some folks are apt to do.

Liberals think this kind of thing is hilarious. One can easily imagine this conversation:

DEAN DILLEY:(speaking to high level campaign staffer) "Hey...I have two buddies I hang out with who are both Obama supporters, and are ex-military. If you let us know where he will be stopping for lunch, we can just hang out there until he walks in, and 'Voila!'...ready to go support from the military community!"

OBAMA STAFFER 1:"Dean, that is a great idea! We are going to hit the Gateway Breakfast House around 9:00 PM."

OBAMA STAFFER 2:"Ummmm...what if someone figures out we planned this in advance?"

(everyone laughs)

OBAMA STAFFER 1:"Pfft! Who the heck is going to tell people they are plants? The Oregonaian? Channel 5? Ha...sure. Tell you what...I'll call The Oregonian and Channel 5 myself and tell them what I am up to..."

(everyone laughs)

OBAMA STAFFER 2:"And you know what is really funny about this? Conservatives and Teabaggers get their panties all twisted because they see it and know exactly what is going on, but we put on an innocent face, tut-tut them, and tell them, the media, and the public that they are just conspiracy theorists! The media parrots it and the electorate buys it!"

OBAMA STAFFER 1:"Hahaha! AIN'T LIFE GRAND?"

I am sure Buckwheat found many supporters during his tour of Moscow of the West Coast.

They would HAVE to go to Oregon to find three vets who would lunch with Obama. Hey 35% support him and the Democrats found three good for them but that means nothing. It doesn't and won't close a 24 point gap.
