1. Where are they? n/t

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. Biden looks scared of his

[Muttocracy]

56. in the video their orders got mixed up at first :)

[polichick]

3. Wonder if the couple in pic 3 are supporters - they didn't look very friendly on TV. nt

[CakeGrrl]

4. They might have been the couple who offered Obama and Biden their place in line...

[polichick]

5. Really? Well, that was friendly...

On the TV clip, that couple was ordering ~ maybe they were just minding their own business.

[onehandle]

6. They have cash in their hands.

They have cash in their hands.

They have cash in their hands.

I find that very comforting.

[Jennicut]

9. Seriously. They are not totally cut off in the bubble.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

7. Excellent! Yet another burger joint to try out here in D.C. I am so lucky to live in this city.

It's just too expensive! ;)

[mscuedawg]

8. CNN just showed the President outside of the burger joint

standing on the edge of the car before getting in to wave to the crowd......and I literally said out loud, I just love him!!!

:loveya:

[polmaven]

10. What do you think he is looking at

in picture #6? I wonder if "ceiling cat" up there.

[AspenRose]

15. Waiting for his number to be called, probably

[polmaven]

21. Is the screen

with the numbers in the ceiling?

Or maybe he was trying the old "Made ya look" game.....I don't doubt that he has a pretty good sens of humor.

[skeewee08]

11. Are those hush puppies?.... now I am hungry...there goes my diet:-)

[SamCooke]

13. thought I was the only one. I need a burger now. I get mine medium well too.

[Clio the Leo]

31. They're potatos....

... the President asked for fries and the place didn't have "fries," they had some kind of boogey fried potatoes.

[MiniMe]

12. Biden: "Jill's going to kill me"

[AspenRose]

14. Well, that just erased the memory of the GOP "rebranding" meeting this past weekend.

That was in Arlington, too. Well played, gentlemen!

[NYC_SKP]

16. Obama: "What's that, Oh, Ceiling Cat!"

[Drunken Irishman]

17. LOL @ the B-movie poster behind their table.

[alsame]

27. That poster is

hilarious. What a background for POTUS and VP :rofl:

[Clio the Leo]

It's a new movie coming out about Jackeens and I...

... and our adoration for the two most powerful men in the World har har.

[Jackeens]

37. ROFL! Are we co-stars or - as I would hope - am I the lead?

[Clio the Leo]

38. oh of course, it's a buddy flic. :-) NT

[Jackeens]

40. Excellent! But alphabetically Jackeens comes before Leo so I want first billing.

[Clio the Leo]

41. well, you cyber stalk the President, I cyber stalk the VP, so that makes sense...

.... of course I also cyber stalk the President, but that's a secret. ;)

[Jackeens]

42. Good point. You're only a, eh, Vice Stalker, I go right to the top. So, top billing for me.

:toast:

[Aristus]

18. I think they're doing a great job of staying connected. Not just on the policy level

(town-hall meetings and so on) but the personal level as well. It's funny, he doesn't do the cowboy boots, swagger, backwoods drawl and aw-shucks goofy grin like B*sh, but he still seems much less elitist than the cocaine cowboy.

[JayMusgrove]

19. Do they serve PIE at this place??????

I love to see those potato taters... but where is the PIE???

I love PIE!!

[Clio the Leo]

32. Best question of the day!

And did they have sweet potato pie, or just cream pie?

[buzzycrumbhunger]

20. Burgers?

. . . on Cinco de Mayo? Seems to me someone missed an opportunity here. Does this not call for refritos instead? :9

[JayMusgrove]

22. Yeah, but maybe Michelle and Obama will have

some Burrito's and Chimichanga's for dinner at some place in DC....

It's early yet...

[AspenRose]

23. Biden had jalapenos on his burger.

As if I needed further confirmation....I am in love. :loveya:

[Cheap_Trick]

24. "You gonna eat those hush puppies, Joe?"

"Cuz now I'm wishing I'd ordered some."

[PatSeg]

25. Those were great and

another establishment gets some unbelievable, free advertising! Helping the economy one restaurant at a time.

[Muttocracy]

46. I thought the same thing

that restaurant can have a "the Pres and VP eat here" plaque :)

[PatSeg]

53. And LOTS of photos on the wall

Must be a dream come true!

[dalaigh lllama]

26. Pic #8 he looks like he's murmurring to Biden:

"You know, it's gonna make the 'I'm the Anti-Christ' crowd go a little crazier that we're eating here. Good times!"

[vaberella]

28. Man..Pres O has the HOTTEST SS guys ever!!! Picture #2 far right and left.

Yummmm....

They make me go *thunk*.
:puffpiece:

[Jennicut]

29. Secret Service? I was too busy looking at the Prez and VP.

LOL. The fact that they have hot secret service agents only makes it even better.

[Clio the Leo]

33. Yeah, but they dont flirt back at you....

... or at least they dont flirt back at you when you're in high school. :) Barbara Bush came to my high school and my girfriends and I tried out best to get the attention of the SS but to no avail.

But yeah .... they're usually pretty hot.

[vaberella]

60. Damn...how do you date one then? n/t

[rasputin1952]

30. What a contrast between this president and the POS that preceded him...

OUR president makes a stop at a burger joint, pays cash, laves a tip (presumably), and doesn't toss others out of the line, but waits patiently like any of us would.

I am duly impressed...:D

[Muttocracy]

48. in the video he yells at the press to get out of the way so people can order

:7

[rasputin1952]

51. A man of the people...

:woohoo:

[Thrill]

34. Biden gets away without wearing his wedding ring? Must be nice

:)

[hileeopnyn8d]

35. The answer is 42

I'm cracking up that their number was 42!

[JayMusgrove]

36. If it had been 44, they would have had to wait longer... you know!!

But it would have been totally "fixed"....

[bmbmd]

54. Excellent observation.

The restaraunt was, perhaps, at the end of the universe?

[jillan]

39. haha - picture 20 - they gave Obama Biden's swiss and jalapeno burger.

Good thing Biden noticed before Obama took a bite out of that.

Swiss cheese and jalapenos? Something tells me that Jill's not going to want to kiss that breath :P

[Froward69]

43. oh those are YUMMY

take one home for her then it wont matter.
I fear this photo...


freepers will make up something stupid with the sign behind them.

[AwakeAtLast]

44. Wow, the President carries CA$H!

I'm thinking that's something Bush didn't do. At least I've never seen a pic of it.

Great pictures! They made me hungry for cheeseburgers!

:hi:

[gkhouston]

59. That's because Bush didn't know how to count money...

which explains a lot about our current economic mess. :(

[Muttocracy]

45. Video!

[Jackeens]

47. Thank you Muttocracy! Except I now want a burger so badly I think I'm going to......

.... :cry:

[Muttocracy]

50. I think I'm gonna have to go nuke the veggie burger in the freezer! nt

[Top Cat]

49. Just wondering when the President eats out does anyone check his food first?

This is has nothing to do with Ray's just curious? Thanks for the pics Jackeen

[Muttocracy]

52. I wonder if they have to do surprise visits, not announced in advance? nt

[gblady]

55. another pic....

me likey...

[Muttocracy]

57. Serious look there! Remind me of Rahm. nt

[Wednesdays]

58. K&R
