More From Glenn …
Sure its news ole Joe put something in his mouth other than his foot.
I guess most everyone else thought it was worth raving about too…
The radio hosts were all aflutter over this..
Apparently Dijon mustard is reason to call into question one's manhood at least according to Ingraham.
I can think of a few chefs that might disagree with such an assumptions; some very good, very manly chefs…
What a joke…
Once again, it seems the administration has very little regard for the public good, and it shows how dependant other networks feel the need to report this stuff to get ratings. A very careless move!
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Sean Hannity had a segment on Obama's cheeseburger last night. It seems that it is a news that Obama ordered spicy mustard on his burger instead of ketchup. Hannity's premise seemed to be that spicy mustard is elitist becase it is sometimes called "dijon" and there once was a commercial for a brand of spicy mustard featuring a guy in a limousine.
It's definitely of utmost importance to know what condiments the president enjoys on his burger
The focus is all on the supreme leader again. What about the effect of the dog and pony show on the business? If the Pres wanted a burger I'm sure he could have had some schmo go pick it up for him, with secret service to make sure no one spit in it of course. Why the need for the show? Just do your job and leave the stardom to Hollywood.
Sure its breaking news….the big O didn't spend a trillion dollars at lunch……
The trillion dollar man and the Vice President at a burger joint. I'd like to go to the burger joint but all i have are these I Owe You's from the President and Congress in my wallet. the Vice President is supposed to be at the senate as President of the Senate, that's what the United States Constitution says. The vice president is never there and he shouldn't get paid for not doing his job.
Pravda comes to mind when I think of MSNBC
Five bucks in the tip jar? He's the president of the United States, couldn't he have left at least $500? That certainly would have made a "regular Joe's" day, AND it would have helped out the "little guy". It wouldn't surprise me if the $5 he left in the tip jar was out of a secret service guy's wallet, either.
What we need to do is sit and watch mainstream media and make a list of advertisers — then BOYCOTT those advertisers and let them know you are boycotting their products and WHY you are boycotting.
Money is the bottom line and once the profits drop, so will the BS!
AND DID YOU HEAR HIM ASK IF THEY HAD "A SPICY MUSTARD; DIJON OR SOMETHING"? what a jerk!!
EXACTLY! unfortunately the big o wouldnt have the guts to show up at a tea party — he only appears where the audience is ENTHRALLED with him!
Just a five dollar tip .what a cheapskate!
I'm just surprised that Biden didn't show up wearing a face mask to ward off the swine flu that he told us last week he was so concerned about.
htrn, I agree that would be the ideal to have our reps do as our founding fathers did. That's not likely to happen with the pompous power hungry politicians we have in charge right now. What we the people need to do is get out there and work to find and then support people who are honest and represent the people. We also need to keep our eyes on the people that we elect and hold them accountable. We have blindly trusted people that we've elected and they have let us down. As the old proverb goes; Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. We are pissed and rightly so about the way our politicians have ignored us and damaged our country. We have to take some of the responsibility for the lunacy that is going on now, for our blind trust. We need to make sure we vet the candidates before we elect them to represent us. Trust and respect are earned not given. Our eyes are open now and its time to get to work!
Why do I feel like I'm back in High School and this is simply the popular guy that the geeks in the yearbook group are playing up? Honestly, I am seeing the EXACT SAME BEHAVIOR I would from high school kids in the way the press treats Obama.
Can we STOP with the fawning over this guy? Man crush? Are you serious? To say I want to throw up from the sickly sweet coverage of this guy is to insult toilets everywhere.
I'd like this man to be treated with the same seriousness that they treat every other president. I am delighted that we as a nation broke a barrier by electing someone other than a white man president. But I was hoping that we as a nation might break another barrier and elect a leader rather than a pop star. A reformer and civil servant rather than someone who wants to push their own piss poor policies down our throats.
I ask simply, is that too much to ask?
Now I know why people are driven to drink. And start in the morning….
As we pay for 24/7 chief level cooks in the White House that can and will make anything, perhaps we can save money by cutting down the staff if Obama is just going to go down the street. I wonder how much that burger cost considering all the security and other movement of POTUS necessary. It is irritating that he thinks we are so simple minded will be swayed by such a photo op. “Oh, he eats burgers! He’s just like the rest of us! We love you Obama!” swoon. Oh wait; there were enough people that were swayed by this kind of manipulation. What are we going to do with a country full of idiots?
You are going to waste our time with this mindless garbage can we say "Photo Op" who really cares I know I don't
So the Republicans meet at a pizza place, Italian.
The President and Mr. HairPlugs go out on a lunch date for hamburgers.
So what was the message? Obama and Mr. HairPlugs are more American?
Or that they support same sex marriage?
And Obama paid cash? Using bailout money??
Photo op!!!!! At least for this one his shirt was left on, and no airbrushed abs photoshopped in.
Hey obama if you like beef why dont you help us ranchers out and keep groups like onda and western watersheds from kicking our cows off the public lands. Oh and by the way your welcome we'll glady keep the beef coming!!!
Where's the beef? MSNBC and other main stream media outlets……….just don't get to the meat of the news….
so much happening and their putting mustard on it……..
My son talks to left wing liberals and he said they feel Obama is going to far. He is setting up communism. All you have to is go to the progressive platform and it spells communist. I think putting pressure on the media to break this story about obama and his henchmen threatening citizens and throwing out contracts and replacing the investors with union workers. Number one stop buying Chrysler. Number 2 start a community campaign laying the facts about how the American taxpayers have been had. Number 3 start campaign to impeach this scumbag or even recall. It can be done. Also get your state involved in a campaign to call a constitutional convention to repeal the federal income tax. We don't need it that money is only allocated to the deficit that is why you are seeing runaway spending. So cut that out and the government can't run up deficits. In other words they have to live on a budget.
right you are!but I think even the mindless liberals will eventually get sick of seeing him,like the rest of us
Oh brother, it is as big a news story as Barack Obama's dog arriving. You would think it must have been a slow news day, then stop and think about it for a second, and then think what the hell is the media doing?
They just don't even care that their ratings are suffering from all this propaganda crap. I guess they just figure when they go under too the government will buy them out as well. Then they will be officially government-run media. I never thought I would see this kind of thing in the US. Next we will see his picture plastered all over billboards, and painted on the sides of buildings.
Actually, I think the report of Harry Reed stating he wishes BO would refrain from appointing a JUDGE to the Supreme Court is more of a news story. He feels Senators or Governors (past or present) would do a better job! I guess the next thing he will recommend is that from now on, you really don't need to be a doctor to work as a surgeon!
Talk out of one side of the mouth and eat out of the other…..
I thought the liberal agenda was to cut the fat out of the American diet and possibly the fat people too. Of course if asked I'm sure it was made from lean meat.
yeah lean meat or a veggie burger!lol
Although I really enjoy reading comments on this site because there are a lot of good people out there with fantastic ideas, and I do get a sick sense of twisted humor from the liberal nut job comments, this section really made my day today.
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
Everyone is off base on this the Messiah and his vice toadie went to that place not to eat but recruit the two burgers to be appointees for the treasury department…he was informed they didnt pay taxes. When he found out they did pay taxes he decided to consume them.
When ratings suck you gotta do what you gotta do. Keith Olberman: what a wuss. LOL!
Were they holding hands? Is this how they exchange long protein strings?
What did the teleprompter order?
For obama to pray to it for the right word's, today in private!
Was it enchanting and did anyone get a thrill up their leg?
Maybe he was trying to offset the cost for all the parties he is throwing at the white house. By the way, how many people could have avoided losing their homes with the 150,000,000.00 spent on the coronation?
Good question. He's such a phony. Don't you just know he has someone watch all the Fox News shows and tell him what's going on in the real world? Then he can think about it all of five minutes before he goes to sleep, then the next day, it's back to Obamaland.
Hey, at least it's bigger news than the swine flu.
http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/2009/05/abyss-of-t...
For those who believe prayer is the answer.
Let me get this straight. Liberals with thier nanny state philosophies are dictating in some states such as CA what fast food resturants should serve(not to mention shutting them down), but we see this? Hypocrisy abounds!
America must cut down on saturated fats and gas consumption but its "ok" for the CIC to buy fast food burgers for others. Not to mention that $300K+ for the photo op. It boggles the mind!
I heard this yesterday on Rush's program. Breaking news the President went out to have a hamburger. And I just laughed and said that is breaking news you have to be kidding. All I have to say is everyone has to eat everyday. So where is the breaking news when all of us We the people have a hamburger? Or are we nobodies? Boy we are the big bunch of nobodies but Mr. President Beware.
What about Schumer telling IHOP what syrup to serve?? My preference is IHOP's waffle with strawberries and whipped cream – no syrup needed. Yummmmy!! Trust me – they don't need any input from the likes of Chuck Schumer, YUCK!!
It is only the beginning Marylou.
Good insight!!!

Barack Obama's handlers are trying to paint him as a hip, in touch, cool dude that eats his burgers just like you do! IN reality, he probably ate less than two bites from the burger, cannot stand Biden, and has to show he is connecting to the people (yes, the same stunt that Bill Clinton did). I detect James Carville (Mr. Serpenthead) slithering around offering advice.
doesnt it drive you CRAZY when 'they' do these kinds of things and think that we will be impressed?
"well, we may buy $500 sneakers, but hell, we eat burgers, just like regular folks"!!!
Shucks I was out golfing today. What did I miss? A airstrike, A hostage take over, Taliban in Pakistan, More jobs losses, What!! A breaking news burger photo op!!! This is change you can keep!
I just ADORE the "every man" choice of a BURGER.
AND THEN HE GOES ON TO ORDER IT "MEDIUM WELL".
If he really were a Man of The People, he would have SWAGGA-ed up to the counter, winked at the waitchick and said, "I'll have the House Special any way you want to cook it! AND ONE FOR ALL MY MEN!"
But no. Because he is an elitist PIECE OF COW CRAP.
Obama sure isn't "well done".
Meat is murder!! are they not sensitive to the vegetarian and vegan community, don't they know these poor animals were tortured before and during their death. LOL I'll have mine with mayo and onion, rare please.
I really don't see that as news, but BO is just trying to connect with the people Bill Clinton did the same thing as I recall
they ALL do 'the same thing' cause they ALL think we are damn idiots!!
Cheap Cheap Cheap. Two multi- millionaire politicians go out for burgers and end up leaving a measly $5 tip!!! This is a typical example on how liberals are willing to spend trillions of the next generations' money but are stingy with their own. This is so typical.
Just what every Presidency needs after dive bombing over NYC.
MSLSD is a joke.
Of course it's news! It's about Him! The Anointed One! Doesn't everyone realize that Obama is the poster boy for Narcissists 'R' US? Why else did he write an autobiography before anyone had heard of him? Or became the first sitting president to appear on The Tonight Show, less than three months into his term? And why do you think he voted "Present" over 120 times in the Senate? Because the bills he was voting on weren't interesting – they weren't about HIM! He'll never appear at an event where he is not the center of attention.
Heaven help us if the media ever loses interest and stops their incessant coverage of every move he makes. He'll probably declare martial law and demand that ever citizen bow to him five times a day.
I wonder how much it cost us to send the pres and v.p. out for burgers?
Extra secret service detail – thousands
Gas for all the vehicles – hundreds
The meal itself – practically nothing, like $20.
Whitehouse photographer and the processing of the photos – hundreds
what other costs are there? if this happens once a week for 4 years… My very under-researched estimate would be well over $200,000
They should get delivery.
If they got delivery how would they be over exposed? How could they make a good impression with the people when they reach into our I mean their pockets and treat the mainstream to burgers?
I can't understand what is going on in this country. There was a breaking story that OBama and his cronies were accused of making death threats to clients being represented in the Chrysler bankruptcy. Even Obama cast aspersions at the clients who are hard working Americans that put faith in Chrysler 2 years before all of this mess. They have a legal contract binding Chrysler to pay them before any other debt was settle. OBama then told the attorneys their clients' contract was nullified without consulting them. Then he puts the unions in front of them giving them priority? After clients won't go along with it they are told by the rattner "ratfink" you better go along or else! And then now these clients are getting death threats? What the hell is going on. ANd the big news is obama is eating a burger. He should be in jail!!! Nixon tried to pull this crap and he was forced to resign. People start putting pressure on the news to find out what the hell is going on!!!
Welcome to the world of the drive-bye media. All they do is slather all of the guy. IF only we had a media that did their jobs, he wouldn't be in the White House.
Want to make some money….. start selling miner's head lamps to the media they sure will need them to find there way around that dark hole they put there heads up in.
Atlas is getting ready to shrug friend.
I smell a dictator!What can we do to stop this nonsense?There has to be someone who can stop this.Can we the people demand an impeachment trail?The media is def on his side,hes even throwing a media appreciation party this weekend.
WEll let me see "Obama gets a burger"! This is what the mainstream media calls important.? Was it well done or rare? Was it a veggie burger, after all we would'nt want our president getting overweight or having high cholesterol would we? He and Biden even bought burgers for the 10 or so newspeople! They must have used the money they saved not giving to charities. Please give us some news MSNBC! Did you know we had tea parties to talk about concern for our country? Did you know Chrysler is being sold to Fiat and we are paying for it? Did you know about Obama's massive budget? Did you know a good American, Jack Kemp, Died? Did you know Nevada brought charges against Acorn groups? Did you know the panic they caused with the fly over in NY was a waste? Most especially did you know tomorrow is a national day of Prayer? Did:nt think so!
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old rancher, whose hand was caught in the gate while working cattle.
The doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to politics and Obama as our president.
The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle'.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, 'what is a 'post turtle'?
The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself. He doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dummy put Him up there to begin with'.
I really like that one, thanks.
That's a great story friend.

but NOT at the White House!
Don't worry he has his rug out.
It keeps the fat, dumb, and numb from having to think about what is really happening to the country.
Barry Burger, and Transfatty Joe look cute together.
And the hood likes them, so whats all the guff? They are real and I think that I'll keep voting for them.
Is it just me or is this a little like the propaganda put out my the media in North Korea or Cuba? Kind of like when Kim Jung Mentally Ill goes "out on the town". Are we heading down the road to tyranny? It's not a stretch!
Who cares where or what he eats. I care about the USA and the crisis we are faced with. If other news stations want to spend money the way the current administration does, let them. We all know the truth. Let me know when we can have our country back!
You are so right! But one way to look at it is both of them are under great stress, eating the worst foods for their arteries and heart, could they be endangering their health? I'm no really interesting in their diet but eating bad, fat laden products is not good for your health as this may cause heart attacks–if you get my drift!
I never ever thought I would say this…Bring back Bill Clinton. I am ready for his third term instead of this Facist nightmare…
YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
The one question America begs to know. Does Barrack use mustard and relish?
Does he prefer curly fries? What about onion rings? I think the President's side dish preferences are SO much more important than, say, American citizens unjustly imprisoned by enemy dictatorships.
I know maybe this is a bit picky but why does he feel at home in Rays "HELL" burger? Is this to make the "Obama is the Antichrist" people go nuts again or is he really the antichrist! Is this like a hint? I mean makes a person start to wonder! Like I have said before God like to give pretty BLUNT hints sometimes this could be one. My heart says im nuts! The bible says that out of the heart comes evil ideas, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. I must go with my brain on this and be optimistic that this is all just coincidence but still keep a eye out.
Lets look at the obviuos:
Barack Hussein Obama – Osama Bin Laden, Sadam Hussein
Has his own OBAMA symbol – So did Hitler
now Rays 'HELL' Burger – i know small stuff BUT..lol
You read the bible and say to yourself how could people be this dumb regarding the obviuosness and goodness of Jesus and people still chose letting a murderer be spared instead of Jesus. this couldnt happen you say?
look at Nazi Germany that can't happen again!!! or ???? hmm will history repeats itself again?.
Nothing casual about where a president goes as there is a lot of planning. Then when you have both of them it leaves you wondering. Oh maybe just anything for a photo. Always thinking of that next ad they need to put out. How all American of them. At least they didn't take the plane.
i am glad you noticed! during the election everytime i saw a obama biden sign i thought, "osama bin" laden. I even said it out loud a couple of times and got blasted by people.
See some people are thick so God uses a Sledge hammer and they still dont get it
With the way he spends money I'm surprised he didn't tip a million dollars, but I guess he must have remembered it wasn't taxpayer money so, he decided to tip less.
Too bad somebody didn't spit on their burgers beforehand…..then again, maybe someone did
….one can only HOPE
Hopefully the spitter had the Swine flu!
Satan Jr. is immune to swine flu…as is his false puppet, (OOPS I mean Prophet), bumbling Biden
This is another example of how STUPID they think we are. Does anyone really believe that the President walked into that place unannounced and ordered up a Burger??? For crying out loud, the Secret Service has been there for a WEEK prior, THEY provided the food and and kept control of it until a minute before it was put on the plate that was brought to Obama by a Secret Service guy dressed up like a waiter. I am so sick of this daily Episode of "Obama makes my stomach turn".
well, this is what government run TV looks like
This would be news to MSNBC, as they're the ones that get the tingle up the leg. So just imagine what happens when they see their hero eat(and it looks like spend his own money) a burger. After all, "The One" can only eat so much $100.00 a pound steak and lobster.I see, they stressed how he did put $5.00 in their tip jar. Now, that is news because his own brother(George Obama) still lives in that hut in Affrica. That $5.00 would have done wonders over there but that's how much Obama cares for the poor.

401ks hit by withdraw freeze
Let us know what they have for dinner please. I won't be able to sleep tonight unless I know the conclusion to this nail biting saga
This was like "I have a gift" only on this little photo op motorcade $10,000 junkett it's, "my people long to see me". Gag.
Damn…. and here all I got for lunch yesterday was my fair share of the flouridated water, and the only tip I got offered was the tip of the needle in which to innoculate me with the swine flu… gosh .. life's just not fair anymore! (snickering in the background)
This is news? This is just more tripe from the sycophantic, idol worshiping, fascist news media. *** BREAKING NEWS ALERT *** – President Obama has just finished his morning bowel movement … and the bathroom doesn't stink!! – WE NOW RETURN TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING.
LOL They say his poop don't stink but his farts give him away!
Sorry if too crude, I just couldn't help myself.
Too funny! Thanks for the laugh! I have this visual of him sitting on the "throne"!
Now back to your regularly scheduled pogromming.
Did Obama need the teleprompter to order, or was Axelrod there to tell him what to order.. Probably ordered a vege burger.
MSNBC will only say good things about the Obama administration.
The only good thing they found to say was that they had a burger together.
Note: they had to skirt the "beef production causes Global Warming" issue in order to even say this.
Things are not looking good for Obama and crew, for sure.
So I thought this was a blog for Americans that want to change America and here we are talking about Obama and Biden went and had a burger and was cheap on the tip. Now wonder why America is the way it is…
Well, it looks like Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears finally has competition for the media attention.
Let me know when they leave the country…permanently!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen
Wow so we sit here and complain that the media reports it then blog about it all day umm wonder why they report something like that?
This is insane! Here we have an administration who won't release photos of the infamous and stupid flyover from last week, yet the MSM is slobbering over Obama and Biden's stop for a bite to eat. That is NOT news. Just another excuse for Obama to be on television. Doesn't he ever stay in the Oval Office instead of being in front of the TV or behind a microphone every day? He is overexposed already. Those latest two press conferences didn't even have substance.
Brave souls indeed – They've been to Hell & back and all for our viewing pleasure.
I'm surprised!!! No one from MSNBC offered to chew Obamas burger for him??? He might have chipped a tooth, or choked.
Good catch.
