Obama's food stimulus.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_foodie_in_the_house">CAPITAL CULTURE: World hangs on Obama's every bite

"We tell them it'll be two to four hours, and they say, OK!" says owner Chris Sommers, who traveled on his own dime to prepare the presidential meal in April. "This has been our own private stimulus package."

Pizza from St. Louis, pancakes from Pittsburgh. A juicy burger or a chili half-smoke in D.C., soul food in Chicago. Our new president eats something and the world wants to eat it, too. We've always cared about the words that emerge from a president's lips, but has there ever been such attention to the food that enters them?

If YOU eat those cheeseburgers YOU will get fat. Only Obama is magically immune to fattening, its not the food he eats at all... ;)

2. I remember when he was on the daily show before the PA primary

Jon Stewart suggested that he check out a restaurant in Pittsburgh. Just out of curiosity, I tried to get on the restaurant's web site--and couldn't because it was overloaded!

3. I don't think they show what O REALLY eats on a regular basis. I think he's a health nut, as

is his wife. They eat lots of veggies, salads, lean meats, and such, I think. I got that impression during the interviews I've seen, things said during the campaign. Remember the wingnuts making fun of him liking arugula?

I personally think the burgers and fries are either for show or just special occasions.
