MEAT IS MURDER

May 5, 2009

Oh Yes, Uhh, Barack Obama And Joe Biden Ate Hamburgers

by Jim Newell  

The biggest political news of the day is that Barack Obama and Joe Biden made local traffic more miserable than usual because they were stoned (for Cinco de Mayo) and wanted rich-people hamburgers at a gourmet junk food restaurant in Northern Virginia. “Oh my God I love that we have a cool president who just goes out to get a hamburger,” etc. Communist Country operative “Lillian” sends in this photo of the Presidential Limo and saves us all from having to read the necessary Politico analysis: “Our esteemed president was slummin’ it at Ray’s Hell Burgers in Arlington during lunch time this afternoon. This could be a strategic move to offset his recent arugula eating habits at the fancy Citronelle.” But will this be enough to attract the white rural voters who hate him in whatever election? Oh screw it all, the damn Politico video of Barack Obama eating a hamburger is after the jump.

And how many millions of people were inconvenienced for that fucked up shit. Get some low level aide to run out. Dipshits.

Vartan84 May 5, 2009 at 3:58 pm

Only in America would this be news.

ManchuCandidate May 5, 2009 at 3:58 pm

I feel the same way when I visit SoCAL and get a craving for an In/Out Double Double.

What kind of Muslin Terrorist eats a cheeseburger?

BigDupa May 5, 2009 at 3:58 pm

Hope they had a good taster cause if they both got bad “onions,” two words people, President Pelosi.

magic titty May 5, 2009 at 3:59 pm

But how many white firefighters did he skip to place his order?

hobospacejunkie May 5, 2009 at 4:00 pm

Oh hamburgers, I’m really gonna get it now!

McDuff May 5, 2009 at 4:02 pm

Ray’s Hell Burger?

Hannity’s top headline tonight: Obama Goes to Hell to Get Orders

RoscoePColtraine May 5, 2009 at 4:03 pm

Here in California we have this place called In-N-Out Burger. People buy the t-shirts, then take off the “B” & “r” from the word Burger. Fuckin cool.

bitchincamaro May 5, 2009 at 4:04 pm

Can’t wait for the “too cheap to leave a motherfuckin’ tip” scandal to break. I blame Biden, in advance.

Crab1 May 5, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Citronelle sucks.

Rush May 5, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Coward. Eat some frickin’ pork.

Doglessliberal May 5, 2009 at 4:05 pm

[re=308828]McDuff[/re]: goes with his other place, Ray’s the Steaks. The best red meat in the Metro area. Bar none.

freakishlystrong May 5, 2009 at 4:08 pm

Can you imagine, in a gazillion years, W and Dick cold going’ out for BURGERS? To a joint with the name Hell in it? No.

morepunkthanyou May 5, 2009 at 4:09 pm

Damnit, I go to Ray’s once a week. Now it’s gonna be too crowded to be cool because the president ate there. Good job, Ray’s. No more hipster cred for you.

Bearbloke May 5, 2009 at 4:10 pm

[re=308828]McDuff[/re]: I like the CS Monitor‘s headline more….

TurdBlossom May 5, 2009 at 4:10 pm

[re=308838]Doglessliberal[/re]: Maybe if you like places in smelly Virginia.

Also, Biden “ordered a swiss cheese burger with jalapeno peppers.” Once again proving he is a beast.

freakishlystrong May 5, 2009 at 4:10 pm

[re=308838]Doglessliberal[/re]: Yes, but do you Meet your Meat?

smartypants May 5, 2009 at 4:11 pm

McDuff May 5, 2009 at 4:11 pm

[re=308834]bitchincamaro[/re]: the White House press corps pool report, posted on Huffington, says Hopey left $5.00 in the tip jar.

I hope he at least got a double cheeseburger with bacon. Extra points for onion rings.

[re=308820]ManchuCandidate[/re]: My Socialist-Muslin-terror-cell imaginary Facebook-friends tell me that the best burger in L.A. is at a place called The Apple Pan, about a mile or so south of UCLA… they swear to Satan Jeebus about how good that place is!

SayItWithWookies May 5, 2009 at 4:20 pm

Don’t they have any Black Muslim places in the DC area that are all vegetarian and serve no alcohol? I would just love to see the reaction if they stopped there for a bite.

zenferret May 5, 2009 at 4:21 pm

So…

Only question I have is are Ray’s Hell Burgers any good?

Close enough for me to go sometime.

And at my other home: In-and-Outs suck in Vegas. Gimme a Fat Burger instead.

TGY May 5, 2009 at 4:23 pm

And I wish the counter guy had asked him, ‘How do you want your *change*?’ Or no, that’s a total retard, tip-blowing thing to do.

Hedley Lamar May 5, 2009 at 4:25 pm

It’s a new buddy movie… Hopey and Homie go to Hell. Just stay

Truly magical. How many North Virginians get in their beast-mobiles and parade down to their greasy, overpriced burger joint? None, I can think of.

Lazy Media May 5, 2009 at 4:33 pm

I wasn’t that impressed with Ray’s. It’s OK, but it’s just steak; I can cook that in my back yard. And nothing in NOVA has hipster cred.

smartypants May 5, 2009 at 4:36 pm

Ohhhhh…now I see the green car in the picture..is that they’re talking about in new story?

Wonkette, could you please stop confusing me, making me hungry AND horny?

jasper f. krone May 5, 2009 at 4:36 pm

Obama carries cash? There’s a Mantis poster on the wall? Tater Tots? Seriously.

ph7 May 5, 2009 at 4:37 pm

Hey! I saw Barry and Joe coming back from this lunch, using the E-Street expressway from the Teddy Roosevlelt bridge, at 1:50 this afternoon. Those fuckers required about 8 black suvs, eight motorcyles cops, an ambulance, and some funky boxy SUV with a friggin’ radar mounted on the roof. Good news is they only stopped the cross traffic for 3 minutes.

Just Joe being Joe I guess.

President X May 5, 2009 at 4:41 pm

What a sec…..who’s the Commie Obama-fawning press wingnut here?? Wonka, that’s who! You left out the best part of the video of Bar’ak ordering his burgers: his “normal” burger that turns out to be all complicated and WASPy with lettuice, tomato and Dijon…

Lord Growing May 5, 2009 at 4:49 pm

[re=308866]Bearbloke[/re]: If you can’t enjoy a burger without a hipster UCLA cretin standing three inches behind your stool waiting for you to finish, then, yes, I recommend the Apple Pan.

And anyone who thinks it’s worth it to wait more than two minutes for an In-N-Out burger should be disenfranchised.

Andrea Mitchell covered this live on MSNBC. Her brilliant commentary deserves a Pulitzer for sure! “Looks like they’re talking to someone. The person at the counter is talking to the President. He’s looking at the menu . . . ” Yeah, 20 minutes of that shit. I was on the edge of my chair.

chascates May 5, 2009 at 5:48 pm

From: http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2009/05/barack-obama-joe-biden-eat-at-rays-hell-burger-arlington-va-washington-dc.html

Biden’s order: Swiss cheese burger with jalapeño peppers. “Do you put ketchup on it or do we do that ourselves?” To drink, he had a root beer.

Obama’s order: “Just a basic cheddar cheese burger. Medium-well. I just want mustard, no ketchup; do you got like a spicy mustard, or a Dijon mustard or somethin’ like that? Lettuce. Tomato. Are your fries pretty good? Can you vouch for your fries?”

Ray’s doesn’t have fries. They have cheesy tater puffs, instead. Obama calls for one order and says he’ll have water.

Min May 5, 2009 at 5:53 pm

The real news is that Barry is willing to be seen in public with Joe.

Back in my meat-eating days (1980s) I had a few Fatburgers, some with eggs on top! They were good eatin’. Though my preference now would be for The Duane Purvis All-American burger from Purdue’s/West Lafayette’s own Triple XXX Diner (since 1929.) But tonight it’s the veggie burger combo from Burger Tex, which my wife will pick up on her way home from work. I do not meet my meat.

OzoneTom May 5, 2009 at 10:04 pm

[re=308831]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: Yeah, I remember in the 80′s they used to have bumper stickers and people were doing the same thing (In-N-Out-urge), so the chain stopped giving out the bumper stickers. I think that they are xian — there’s some sort of biblical reference on the bottom of their drink cups.

Since they are making money with the tee-shirts, I suppose those are harder to give up.

I still stop there when I’m working in the L.A. area to get their “protein style” double-double (with onion).

OzoneTom May 5, 2009 at 10:22 pm

[re=308989]Red Zeppelin[/re]: I agree, those “Meet your meat” adverts are terrible.

[re=309175]chascates[/re]: Sorry for the late reply, yes I do remember Mad Dog & Beans. One of my girlfriends carved our names in one of the benches. Good times. Also I liked Les Amis around the block. I could get black beans & rice w/red onion & potato chips for cheap.

Wow. Hadn’t though about Mad Dog & Beans in forever. I think they were ‘famous’ for maybe their shakes (?,} something like that. Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was their shakes. Thanks for the mammaries.
