President Obama made yet another trip to a burger joint Friday, taking four employees on a Washington construction project to Shake Shack. .... But the trip underscored something else: Obama really loves cheeseburgers.
.... Obama has a habit of taking people out for burgers and fries.....well-documented penchant for cheeseburgers.
In 2010, Obama took Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to Ray's Hell Burger, a DC-area institution that claims it is "nice and greasy, steak and cheesy." Obama put in the order -- a burger with cheddar, sauteed onions, lettuce and tomato for Obama and one with cheddar, hot peppers, sauteed onions and mushrooms for Medvedev. "We're gonna turn him on to a real American burger," Obama said.
Obama paid in cash, leaving a $5 tip. Nice of the boss to pick up lunch .....Obama ate a burger and fries, Biden a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake...
Even First Lady Michelle Obama, she of the "Let's Move" campaign, has confessed her "obsession with french fries." She visited the DC Shake Shack when it first opened, ordering the chain's signature ShackBurger -- a cheeseburger topped with lettuce, tomato and top-secret "ShackSauce," which has been described as a mix of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and spices, along with fries, a milkshake .....1700 Calories...
.....Obama treated a group of six community organizers to lunch at the Capitol Hill outpost of the D.C. restaurant Ted's Bulletin, where Obama ordered a cheeseburger and fries. And of course he had to try the all-American eatery's homemade Pop-Tarts, .....
President Obama and Russian President Medvedev "Bond" at Ray's, over cheeseburgers and french fries.... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 02479.html That was, of course, when "bonding" with a Russian leader was a good thing, waaaaayyyy back when Russia wasn't a fascist totalitarian dictatorship....
Such symbols of high-level bonding have been important in the relationship between the two nuclear powers. .... Causing a few snickers among the press, Obama noted that Medvedev had signed up for an account with "Twitters." The micro-blogging site is called Twitter. "I have one, as well," Obama said. "We may finally be able to throw away those red phones that have been sitting around for so long."
