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.
Obama, Biden Go Out for Burgers [Washington Post]
And how many millions of people were inconvenienced for that fucked up shit. Get some low level aide to run out. Dipshits.
Only in America would this be news.
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?
Hope they had a good taster cause if they both got bad “onions,” two words people, President Pelosi.
But how many white firefighters did he skip to place his order?
Oh hamburgers, I’m really gonna get it now!
Ray’s Hell Burger?
Hannity’s top headline tonight: Obama Goes to Hell to Get Orders
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.
Can’t wait for the “too cheap to leave a motherfuckin’ tip” scandal to break. I blame Biden, in advance.
Citronelle sucks.
Coward. Eat some frickin’ pork.
McDuff: goes with his other place, Ray’s the Steaks. The best red meat in the Metro area. Bar none.
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.
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.
McDuff: I like the CS Monitor’s headline more….
Doglessliberal: 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.
Doglessliberal: Yes, but do you Meet your Meat?
I’m hungry.
bitchincamaro: 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.
Biden to Obama: “You ain’t my bitch, nigga! Buy your own damn fries!”
Overheard at the next secret service meeting: “Can’t we just the fucker the limo’s broken down or something?”
freakishlystrong: I am a vegetarian, alas, so go by trusted friends’ reviews.
If I mention guns here, will it provoke lengthy posts from the fetishists, again? It seems to be a reliable effect.
Did they stop off and get gay married on their way back to the office?
ManchuCandidate: My
Socialist-Muslin-terror-cellimaginary 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 toSatanJeebus about how good that place is!Hope Comes to Hell-town.
Bearbloke:
If I ever have enough money to travel again, I will look it up.
McDuff: Proving once and for all, he is a communist.
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.
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.
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.
It’s a new buddy movie… Hopey and Homie go to Hell. Just stay
away from the 5 Guys near my place dudes.
Clearly the terrorists have won.
Hold the cinco de mayo, please. I can’t eat that with mariachis; it burns.
Come here a minute: Obama to Biden: “Sure, you can have my number baby”
SayItWithWookies: this would blow some minds. Kenyan….

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

HELL NO! A “basic Cheddar cheese burger” does not come with all that crap….what a Fascist Muslin fake!
Dude, he winked at someone. Barack Obama is Sarah Palin in disguise!
jasper f. krone: Thank you! Presdents don’t carry money.
Should have ordered the schnitzengrubben
bitchincamaro: He tipped @ 3:05. Looks like it was $5.
Bearbloke: 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.
McDuff: Crazybroad: Percentages, people! I need percentages!
bitchincamaro: Did Obama flash a gangsta roll while Americans lose their jobs? Tonight. On Fox. We report, you decide.
randem: The standard for humor here is much higher then your weak-ass offering. Even oxycotin gobbler Limbaugh is funnier than this. Step your game up chumpy.
Do they have venison burgers? Also.
-SP
randem: mrpuma2u:
ooohhh…. POSTER-FIGHT!!!
WadISay: Arab money. I’m tryna eat like Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal Al-Saud
WalnutsThePlumber: Biden to Obama: This shit is getting way to complicated for me.
Rush: Muslins can’t eat pork, duh.
Barry eats like shit and still has no belly. Damn your muslin communist meshican metabolism.
I’m holding out for Joe and Barry escape from Guantanamo Bay.
Looks like they picked up some burgers to go. Something to toss out of the limo to the hobo crowds on the filthy D.C. streets no doubt.
51dimes: literally.
Barack Obama: Cheeseburgers
Sarah Palin: Automatic weapons
Please don’t run any more meat-themed stories. Every time you do that disgusting “meet your meet” banner ad shows up. For this reason among others I prefer to hear about sexytime!Sarah Palin (vp@whitehouse.gov): Yes, I am sure they do, but I don’t think they have mooseburgers, so you’ll just have to keep making them your own self.
Barry demands tater tots.
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.

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.
The real news is that Barry is willing to be seen in public with Joe.
You all missed the secret code he gave to the peeps in the back… “ollah”.
He knows teh illegals are back there makin’ his food.
A bit of Spanglish is insurance, people.
OK so I’m desperately in love with yer stupid country, I’ve never been there and yet somehow am reading this, and I badly want to eat some of yer fine dead-animal products, out of drive-thrus, whilst in an automobile, on the vast Murkin Highway, with yer Prez. Is that so wrong?
Scooter: Well, you can’t blame her. She’d rather be hangin around Barry than with that shriveled troll she’s married to!
jimmynail: What is so wrong?
The meat comes with a filling of steroids-hormones-antibiotics and extreme cruelty.
that is all.
Hail the Cinco de Mayo Aztlan Shoutout when he “Hola”s and Palin-winks at the lady behind the counter! Go ahead and secede, Texas. Hopey’ll trade you to the Mexicans for a cheeseburger.
Why does he only put his jacket on half-way when he is walking up to the White House? The SLOB.
JB: Mr. President, I think we should say a prayer before eating these delicious burgers.
BHO: Uh, good idea, Joe.
JB: (loudly clearing throat) Lord Satan…
Min: The real news is that Joe Biden went into an enclosed public space
Will the Politico video WIN THE NEWS CYCLE?
Origami: They need to have some dignity for the office of the Prezident. Bush would never not wear a coat when dining in hell.
NoWireHangers: I would too. Next time, I shall order the Tots and a Hope Float, so I can one day be as president as Barry.
And, since they had no FRENCH fries, Barry O had to settle for some Communist tater tots.
Biden, did ya hit the chauffeur over the head or lnee him in the balls to get this money?
RoscoePColtraine: They scrape off the “B” & “r” from the word Burger? “In-N-Out uger” I don’t get it.
Gaffey O’FootinMouth aka Joe Biden: They’re trying to express solidarity with the Uighers at Gitmo. But everybody knows that LA muslins can’t spell.
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.
hobospacejunkie: Remember Mad Dog & Beans near the Drag?
RoscoePColtraine: 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).
Red Zeppelin: I agree, those “Meet your meat” adverts are terrible.
Every time I see one, I want to run to my closest Morton’s for a blood-rare rib-eye, oozing with serous fluids and serum. Yum!
Our prez only carries a $40 pimp roll? Weak…I’m guessing Big Joe has a pocket full of singles for the post-lunch happy hour at Camelot.
Doglessliberal: I got dragged across the river to Ray’s the Steaks, and had to stand around waiting forever when I was starving, and had to sit outside - and it was totally fucking worth it.
fuck I want a steak now.
chascates: 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.
Red Zeppelin: Humanity’s cruelest invention: Keith Olberman
One question: Was the cameraman riding ON TOP OF THE VAN all the way back from Arlington?
Why don’t we ever see any pictures of Obama eating ribs an’ fried chicken an’ waddy-melon an’ collared greens?
(All this can be found at Ribs n’ Bibs on 55th street in Hyde Park. Well, maybe not the waddy-melon, you’d have to go to Mr. G’s or the Co-op for that.)
Bearbloke: They are correct. Apple Pan is quite good. However, Library Alehouse is even better. I just slobbered on my keyboard thinking about their burgers. Seriously, though, I masturbate to the thought of them. And yes, it’s meat, but that totally doesn’t make me gay…..Fuck it, I’m totally gay for the Library Alehouse.
zenferret: Seriously, WTF is up with that? They’re great in California, but the few times I was going through Vegas and got one, it was definitely subpar.
Come here a minute: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Excellent, and for the win!
Cape Clod: Yes. And the really good ones don’t jostle the lens!
Damn, I’m hungry, and I had a burger for dinner…
