Regular Ol' Guys

Thank GOODNESS that our POTUS and VPOTUS are just some regular ol' guys. I don't know what I would've done if they were --*gasp* politicians!

ARLINGTON, Va., Source -- It's like this: When you want a burger, you have to have a burger. Oh, and some tater puffs on the side, please.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden took a short -- but wholly noticeable -- motorcade ride from the White House to Virginia and pulled into a small, independent burger joint called Ray's Hell Burger.

The two leaders waited in line and then went right up to the counter where the meat was being grilled and ordered.

What did they order?

"I'll have a swiss cheese burger with jalapeno peppers and ketchup," Biden said to the cashier. "Do you put the ketchup on it or do we do that ourselves?"

For the president?

"I'm going to have a basic cheddar cheese burger, medium well, with mustard," Obama said. "Do you have spicy mustard? I'll take that."

The president then asked about some fries.

"Are your fries pretty good? Can you vouch for your fries?" he asked.

Unfortunately, Ray's doesn't serve fries. But they had some cheesy tater puffs, so the duo got an order of those.

To drink, Biden got a root beer and Obama a bottle of water.

The president then ordered some extra food for his staff. Each fetched cash from his pocket and paid, Biden paid for their meals and Obama paid for the staffs, and then the pair stood like the rest and waited for their number to be called before going to a table.

The restaurant, which prides itself on premium aged 10-ounce burgers, sits in a small strip plaza. The burgers sell for $6.95.

If you were at Ray's while the prez and veep lunched, send your pictures and video to isee@nbcwashington.com.

Anyone reminded of Clinton and Mickey D's? I mean really--was this NEWSWORTHY? Apparently MSNBC broke in to announce the Prez was eating lunch at a burger joint. What a sad, pathetic excuse for NEWS.

Now, now. We must continue to be enthralled with the Young President and know EVERYTHING about him! Boxers or briefs? How long did it take to digest that burger? At least he's keeping Biden on a short leash today.

MSM, please continue to bring us these great articles on Obama’s lunches with Joey Pluggs, cool neckties, puppy vetting process, and how he likes to play basketball.

Don’t worry about his attempts to run socialism in through the back door, petty vindictiveness and attempts to squelch all opposing voices, myriad broken campaign promises, mafia-style threats against banks, the political smoke-plume coming out of Illinois with Blago, Rahmbo, and Rezko... or even Obama's dreadful cabinet nominations.

That’s all just a “distraction” from the "historical moment"… and our intentions SHOULD be suspect if we ask to know all the details... right?
