I really try to give those on the Right chances to prove they aren’t complete morons. Sadly every time someone gives them some rope to use as a lifeline to pull themselves back into reality…not only do they use it to hang themselves, but they pull out a gun and shoot themselves in the foot for good measure.  Last week President Obama and Vice President Biden did something so insignificant I really didn’t understand the media attention over it. They went for burgers. They went to Ray’s Hell Burgers, stood in line and paid for some burgers with their own money (of course, I’m sure secret service was all over the place like fat kid going through a Krispy Kreme doughnut box). By now I would think the media would be used to this. First off, this isn’t the first President to do something like this. Clinton used to go for Pizza. Now I expected the Right to go with their obvious, “Obama only did this for the photo-op” rant. It’s their typical rant and its easily debunkable. The President has damn near a 70% approval rating. He doesn’t need a photo-op. So the Right gets a “FAIL” on that attack. But its what comes next that shows they’ve really gone off the deep end.
The new Right Wing talking point is that the President can’t be a regular guy because when he ordered his burger, he asked for spicy or Dijon mustard on it. Yes you read that right. They are talking about what the President orders on his burger and trying to use it as an attack. I’m going to pause for a minute so you can let that sink in……….
Are these fucker’s insane? First it was Sean Hannity bringing it up. Then Laura Ingraham asked “Who doesn’t put ketchup on their burger?” Well Laura…that would be anyone who isn’t looking for a toy in their bag and is old enough to order from the grown up menu. Seriously, how many people still ask for ketchup on their burgers? You have a lot of low to mid-level food chains that are now selling burgers with barbeque, chipotle, honey mustard and any number of sauces and condiments. Stepping out of your third grade comfort zone and trying other condiments shouldn’t be a political liability. The sad thing is, the President has apparently always liked spicy mustard. He wrote about it in his book. Geez, I just can’t take this kind of petty bullshit anymore.

Additional points to Kriss for using “French’s” brand of hoity-toity mustard… just another thing for the GOP to rail on; “see it’s even got French in the name!”

LMAO…I’m glad someone caught that. I specifically was looking for a picture of the French’s brand.
