Sigh … I feel another round of “caption this” coming on:

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are served their burgers as they make an unannounced visit to Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, Va., to have lunch, Tuesday, May 5, 2009. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
Here’s the AP’s write-up (via Memeo).
My caption: “Why can’t I just eat my burger?”
Oh, and just guess what network was on hand with the “breaking news”? None other than the admnistration’s favorite “news” outlet, MSDNC:
Partial transcript, courtesy of Breitbart:
“I’m also told by the experts in the control room who have watched all of this that the president wanted fries, they didn’t have them, so he tried the potato puffs.”
Wow … next thing you know, you’ll be finding out he sneezes, gets colds, goes to the bathroom, and does other normal things that mere mortals do, like taking leisurely strolls with his wife.
Sheesh. You’d think the mainstream media were just now figuring out that the guy is human.
Oh, wait. Maybe they really are just now figuring it out.

My caption: “The president looks displeased at the lack of arugula for his burger. The vice-president meanwhile asks if the president is ‘going to eat that?’”
The Presidential food taster, Joe Biden, points while asking “What do you want me to try first?” “DUHHHH”
“Tax it.”
” I am telling you Mr. President we can count every worker here as saved jobs after this visit. Just like we did at Caterplillar.”
Hey, don’t forget to put that on your expense account!
The worship of Obama is a disgrace.
I really don’t care about the contrived political “common man” moment. I just see this as yet more evidence that this administration cares nothing for national security.
The President and Vice President, in a post-9/11 world, eating lunch together in an open, public, insecure venue.
At their lunch today we all were one, easily envisionable, tragedy away from…President Pelosi.
Barack Obama tastes burger of his slave owner
What the news will not talk about is that the person who owns this resturant is one of the targets of Obama’s redistrubion of wealth. Those people waiting on him may yet get a chance to thank him when they lose their jobs because their bosses taxes go up
Hey Barry, I think I just seen your patty move a little, see…right there.(roach)
Don’t know why you get served first, guess they don’t know who I am. Real men eat fries, sissy’s eat potato puffs.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I recall pictures of Tony and Cherie Blair in China eating Chinese food with chopsticks. Wow!!!!! What those journos forgot to report that Blair was comprehensively humiliated by the Chinese leaders during that trip. A mere oversight, I am sure.
“
We couldn’t bring the teleprompter for you. Trust us, that’s the burger, Mr. President.
Ohhhh Come On People, I can’t believe you all didn’t say this one by now”
“in a moment of frivolity, Joe Biden asks President Obama to “pull his finger”"
Or we have this one:
President Obama looks in disgust as he suddenly realizes that Rahm Emanuel lied to him about this burger joint using ground Kobe beef in their burgers” – Lorica
And I agree with Allan, these contrived common man moments are such bs. This place wasn’t unsecure. I will tell you this, that the secret service had people in that resturant and snipers on the roofs of adjacent buildings, hours before, to protect the President, it is their job, and they do it quite well. This little common man moment probably cost the American tax payer half a million dollars or better.
It’s all more dog and pony show just like the Clintons. Everytime Bill Clinton had a “hankerin” for a Domino’s pizza it cost us over 50 grand, it is just more of the same. If this all ended tomorrow it wouldn’t be a day to soon. – Lorica
Appears to me that Mr. Biden is no longer concerned about being in public places and confined areas. They should have went to a BBQ restaurant and ordered a pulled pork sandwich. They could have killed two crisises with one stone
