Uhm. Obama has a right to eat his meal without having to answer questions that aren’t important to society.

[...] Campaigning in Scranton, Pennsylvania in April, when asked his reaction to former President Jimmy Carter’s decision to meet with leaders of the Islamist Palestinian group Hamas, Obama’s response was “Why can’t I just eat my waffle? “ [...]

[...] And, sometimes, the product and the packaging are used in a reverse psychology kind of way. Remember when, in April, Barack Obama arrived — hungry — at a diner, the media swarmed all over him and he said, “Why can’t I just eat my waffle?” [...]

Do Americans realize that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are cold-calling American voters for the Obama campaign? Al Jazeera recently reported on a group of young Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who took it upon themselves to get together and randomly cold-call Americans in the U.S., encouraging them to vote for Obama.

Abu Juyyab said through an interpreter, that since January, he and 17 friends have called Americans randomly via the Internet before each primary. Yet Federal Election Law “prohibits any foreign national from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly.”

Cleta Mitchell, an election law expert who works with Republican clients, told FOX that the money spent at an Internet café to make these calls definitely qualifies as a contribution and that the Obama team needs to track them down and “tell them to stop.” Yeah right! He’ll get right on that!

The clip I saw showed Michelle Obama reaching over and across her husband when he was eating. Talk about poor table manners! Maybe she missed manners in all her high falutin’ education!

At least he did not “cackle” and burst into some more laughs and then make a stupid excuse. Get over it people, he has a right to eat his breakfast in peace and not answer the same question repeatedly.

Just notice something here: The articles mentions in a sentence hidden in the middle of all the waffle talk:”he has given dozens of interviews to local press in Pennyslvania”

Where are the quotes from these interviews? Did they mention anything about them or how long they were? No, the only quote they got out of the DOZEN interviews he’s had in Pennsylvania is a 2 second waffle comment? And then they have the audacity to criticize him for not wanting to talk to reports during a 15 minute breakfast?

Obama has a $1,000,000 tour bus to eat on in private. He dined with the common folk for political reasons, so he could look like a common folk instead of an elitist which he is. He could at least take questions and be approachable. If he really wanted privacy for his waffle fix, he should have just went on the bus. Very simple. Politicians are in the public light and they HAVE no privacy unless they make privacy.

Let the man eat his breakfast in peace. He was going to have a long day ahead of him and needed to have some food for energy. Besides, as a Scranton native, let me assure you that if you had ever had the Glider’s food, you would want to finish your breakfast too…..It’s the best diner in the world and a Scranton landmark. Funny that Hillary who always talks about her Scranton roots didn’t make it there.
