Obama: Why Can't I Just Eat My Waffle?

Looks like Obama doesn't want to be bothered with the press. Perhaps being POTUS will be too much of an intrustion on his private life?

"Democratic White House contender Barack Obama could not hide his irritation Monday when asked by a reporter what he thought about former president Jimmy Carter's meeting with Hamas last week."

"Why can't I just eat my waffle?" the Illinois senator said as he ate breakfast in Scranton, Pennsylvania, according to MSNBC television pictures."

"Pressed again for an answer, he replied: "Just let me eat my waffle."

Is Obama waffling?

seriously, lil. i was trapped on the damn 4 train all the way from bowling green to grand central with a guy who seemed to be cursing out either his kid or humanity in general in spanish pretty much at the top of his lungs the whole effin' way. and me with the bright idea to say a rosary on the train so i couldn't even scream, "he's right effin' next to you, moron! he can effin' hear you!!" all i could do was ask the blessed virgin to help him with his problem so that he could find peace and allow us to find peace as well.

but, we're not running for the office of president of the united states. had mccain made a similar comment, the press would be breathlessly trumpeting this as evidence of his hair-trigger, volcanic temper.

that said, he has commented now on it - evidently he had to confer with the big giant head (mishy) first.



carter's meeting was a "bad idea"

Yeah--McCain has never said anything remotely churlish.

And McCain is the REAL media darling.

McCain wouldn't be eating waffles. Too tough.

It's grape nuts heated in the microwave or nothin'.

That's a late afternoon snack, just before the 4 p.m. Golden Corral buffet stop.

Hey now, I can eat me some Golden Corral! Fried okra, tater bar, soft serve...
