Wow, this guy is a jerk. Here, in this exclusive CNN report on some old public-teevee food show in Chicago, we see that Barack Obama was being a fancy show-off even way back when he was a lowly state senator a few months ago. This restaurant-review episode never aired because Smooth Barry just shamed these poor slobs, who no longer had the will to talk, or even live. [CNN via Wonkette tipster "Bill Slider"]
Why does Barack Obama hate local teevee? Start the impeachment! Where’s Bob Barr when we really need him?
Look at those women…he’s got them wrapped around his finger, being all clean and articulate and whatnot.
Bland grey shirt… Socialist!
…why didn’t he say “‘M-Fer, I want more iced tea!”? I’m highly disappointed!!!
So why wasn’t this shown during the election, when it could’ve made a difference?
“Johnny Cakes?” Jesus. I bet he calls soda “pop,” too. I hate him SO much now. Also, I think I’m kind of a racist now, darn it.
Obama and his presbyterian pie love! I’m not foold by that MUSLIN!
It all began with a community organizer, peach cobbler, and a dream.
Check please! As in, “let me check your inseam…”
Mmmmmmm… Johnny cakes and Barry.
Why does the hostess look as though someone prepared a jello mold on her head?
Goddamn, that looked like some good cobbler.
OMFG 1:02 - Obama drinks Dixie beer!!!!! I’m so voting for him like 10 more times, ad then I’m gonna swuggle me a six pack a Dixie. Take that, yanks! :p
Pancakes and beer? I’ve always found that cold pizza goes better with a beer first thing in the morning, but I guess they’re fancy in Chicago.
AngryBlakGuy: ‘M-Fer, I want more iced tea!” In Chicago, the affable greeting, “M-F’er” is reserved for Alderman, who will not risk losing your vote by insulting you back. Wait staff, OTOH, will piss in your Dixie beer.
August 14, 2001- NEVER FORGET!
Trace: Johnny Cakes are Presumptuous.
Manilow- MANILOW- is that producer Barry Manilow’s straighter but less successful brother??
Well at least he had some insight into places where the normal “Check Please” reviewers would never go in a million years. Last time I saw an episode, they did a review of Lou Mitchell’s (known tourist trap). Well done WTTW, well done.
Peach Cobbler? HOW ELITIST!!!! In real America we lick chunks of permafrost for dessert.
Really Manilow, Obama seemed like a rising star at the time? What was it that made you know he was destined for future greatness, the peach cobbler blathering or the johnnycakes reference? Oh, it was how he connected cobbler to inner city restaurant economic policy.

SayItWithWookies: Right? I just didn’t know where to start with this one… so thank you.
Maybe the beer would make more sense if they were having chicken and waffles? Just sayin…
V572625694:
And thus Restaurant-Gate has begun. Has Rush Limbaugh seen this yet? Sound the Drudge Siren and alert Fox News, post haste!
Ha ha. Make that producer a professional diplomat, Obama: “He had a lot of depth . . . A lot of people come on this show and talk about food and value . . .”
But Obama wanted to talk about “communities and neighborhoods”. Instead of talking about food on a food review show. Yeah that’s “depth” all right.
If you notice, not once in that video does B. Hussein Obama eat any pork. This is because he is muslin.
The PUMAs are convinced that the show was never aired because in a secret, still hidden reel, he goes on a bout chitlins, fatback and Colt45.
Many people outside of the United States see Americans as smug, self-satisfied and a little arrogant. What these folks don’t realize is that true bliss comes from a good peach cobbler. It is not our arrogance that makes us smile that way. It’s the cobbler. Peach cobbler is the secret to all happiness.
Juice-IL: Back in my pre-hobo beans days, I was out in the ‘burbs. Screw Lou Mitchell. Walker Brothers FTW.
The blonde girl could barely keep herself under control. The tramp.
… off to change panties ….
I fucking hate check please. I used to be able to get a burger at Kuma’s. Then they reviewed it and I can’t get in anymore. I’m just glad I don’t eat at whatever johnny-cakes-and-beer place Barry reviewed. That place is going to be a mad house. A MAD HOUSE!
Thanks to Bush I can no longer afford food. Just looking at those j-cakes and p-cobs made my stomach flutter. Even if they are over 8 years old now I’d still do ‘em.
So arugula was still in the future?
This video makes me fall in love with the prez all over again. Congress: Just rubber stamp any fucking thing he wants, okay? Because none of you are even close to being in this demi-god’s league.
he’s got the ladies completely smitten.

Johnny cakes?!? What is that? Some kind of secret muslin code word for “carbohydrate bomb”?
SayItWithWookies: Seriously. I figured the reason this didn’t air was, if you start with the beer and pancakes for breakfast, you end up with peach cobbler and a couple of lines of coke for dessert.
They didn’t air the episode with Blago either but that was only because he kept raving about “the fucking great ribs at Carson’s. Those ribs are fucking amzing.”
Those other critics weren’t bullied into not talking by Obama. They were basking in his glow. Seriously, would YOU want to pipe up about “John McCakes” or whatever he said when you could be listening to the words of The One? No, of course you wouldn’t, unless you were a soulless wretch, for whom joy is agony.
Also, just so everyone is clear, Johnny Cakes are cornbread, not pancakes. A lot of Soul Food places (at least here) make johnny cakes that look like pancakes.
Internally valid: It should be noted that Kuma’s burger of the month is the #@(*&%^ Blagojevich, because apparently at a Heavy Metal bar with portraits of naked women on the walls, saying the word ‘fuck’ is just too fucking inappropriate.

skyhorse: I was already part of history when you published Jesse Ventura’s book. You see, I’m the reincarnated 38DD bra that Jesse wished to be.
You’re in publishing, and you’re unable to spell Hopey’s first name. I can do better, and my primary purpose in life is to secure titties. Sheesh.
Internally valid: Oh get over it, kumas has gone steadily down hill since it blew up, I know it’s hipper than thou to trash now. They do now have disgusting sounding blago burger:
“the “#@(*&%^ Blagojevich” consists of a 10 oz. hamburger patty, thick sliced bologna and yellow mustard between two grilled cheese sandwiches (made with American cheese and wonder bread), and a large dollar sign written in mustard”
Fun Factoid, Check please!, is a pretty great show, they usually get some emo girl, a flamboyant racial and an old lawyer and send them to places each will hate respectively and then they cattially cut eachother down for 30 min through clenched grins.
Johnny cakes make me think of Rhode Island — in the same way that Del’s, cabinets, and coffee milk do — not Hyde Park.
The video window sez “malformed error.” Is this video from the Situation Room?
There have been many words used to describe Barack Obama- Intelligent, poised, compassionate (no doubt lady Wonketteers would add hawt to the list); but the one that always comes to mind first for me (and this video from years ago emphasises it) is classy. Easy going, secure within himself, articulate without ever talking down to people- The man just has class.
It will be nice to have someone with class in the Oval Office. It’s been a while…
What do think about Barack Obama? The elections? The economic crisis?
