Obama and Biden Go Out for a Burger: More Media Fellatio

Sunday the mainstream media reported about Barack and Michelle holding hands. Today, this earth shattering news:
It's like this: When you want a burger, you have to have a burger.

In this state of mind, 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 went right up to the counter where the meat was being grilled and ordered.

Each fetched cash from his pocket and paid, and then the pair stood like the rest and waited for their number to be called before going to a table.
Did you get that? They went right up to the counter. Just like the big boys. They got a burger and paid out of their own pocket. Just like normal people. The clown princes didn't even wear their crowns.

UPDATE: It appears that the AP wasn't the only news outlet to capture this historic moment. Politico weighed in as well.
Obama purchased burgers not only for himself and Biden, but also for several members of the press pool that tailed him to lunch across the Potomac. Cheeseburgers at Ray's retail at $7.95, and Obama deposited a $5 bill in the tip jar.
Was that $5 part of the stimulus package?

The tip was NOT stimulus. If it were stimulus, he would have taken $5 from the guy next to him and put it in the tip jar!
