I am so proud of my President

http://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-gold-bourdain-obama-20160525-snap-story.html

Just by sitting down and eating Vietnamese "street food" and by that he was helping to put that
awful and unneeded war behind us was a class act.

If somebody could post the picture from this article that would be nice.

I never ate vietnemese food until I lived and worked in Dorchester which is a part of Boston. I fell in love. There is simply nothing better than a simple bowl of pho tai. I would normally say in my opinion but if you disagree.. to quote the great Ron Burgandy, "I will fight you. Thats no lie."

To say he is getting a warm reception is a huge understatement. People line the streets for miles and miles just to cheer him and the entire SS entourage on. You would have thought a rock star was there. It is incredible to see and makes me so proud to have him as president.
