Hey, Barry! What about Carter hugging Hamas? Mrrfppfhhrwrrffle.

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 21, 2008 10:04 PM

Move over, fancy ham. Here’s Obama’s new favorite food.

First Read has a video snippet of Barack Obama’s new question avoidance strategy: Stuffing his mouth with waffles. No signs of any arugula on the plate. But the waffles worked. He never did answer the question about his thoughts on jihadi postman Jimmy Carter meeting with Hamas. Mission accomplished!

***

Commenter BlameAmericaLast: “Hmmm….a waffle man. How fitting. But then again, I thought for sure SNOBama would have crepes!”

Allahpundit rises to the Obamessiah’s defense.

    The Carter legacy:

    High inflation
    Gas lines
    Giving away Panama Canal
    Russians invading Afganistan (hello Taliban)
    Abandoning the Shah (hello little crazy oompa-loompa nuke guy)

    Thanks for the props, Feebz! B Hussein O is in for trouble should anyone bother to check his credentials. When you past the audacity of hoping for change platitudes, when this guy has his teleprompter shut off, he is a stuttering fool. Unfortunately trying to talk a B Hussein O supporter is like trying to tell your 16 year old daughter that the guy she thinks she is in love with is a no good, no job having, bum. It is hard to fight emotion with reason.

    Don’t worry, the fictional USS Obama would be sunk via torpedoes by the NNS Wright while those on deck would be taking sniper fire from the nearby shore from Serbian 2nd Brigade 22nd Infantry Batallion under the command of Serbian advisor Hillary Clinton.

    You’re right. The waffle thing was just a photo - op. He probably purged back in his bus.

    But, if Hillary can do a boiler maker Obie has to try to keep pace somehow. Guess to Barry, typical PA white folk snarf on waffles and pig parts, so he had to suck it up.

    Judging from the “one square at a time” method (thanks for pointing that out!), it is pretty obvious he had no clue as to what he was eating. If he did have a clue, he eats like a little girl at a tea party with her dolls.

    I know my acid reflux won’t let me anywheres near my mom’s homemade sugar-cone waffles, as much as I love them.

    Apparently Obama’s pinchet for making poor choices is not relegated to his selection of friends and associations, i.e., Wright and Ayers, but is also reflected in his diet.

If I know that, Barack should know this. And I am quite sure that I would be more comfortable in a booth at Roscoes than Barack O or Michelle O would be. Barack is a guy who goes to Whole Foods to buy his arugala. He would not be at home eating waffles and fried chicken at Roscoes. If you are a movie buff, check out Jackie Brown and you will see what I mean about Roscoes. And the waffles with the syrup at Roscoes are absolutely the best.
