 Obama Wouldn't Eat Food at GOP Luncheon 03/15/13
They prepared a fancy lunch for Obama. Maine lobster and everything. But Obama thought he was too good for their food.
   
From Daily Caller:
Following President Obama’s lunch meeting with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill, Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins described the food served and said the president was not able to eat since his “taster” was not present.
 
“University of Maine recipe for healthy lobster salad — I pointed that out to the president in keeping with the first lady’s initiatives and Fox Family Potato Chips made in Aroostook County where I’m from and wild blueberry pie full of anti-oxidants, see this was a healthy lunch as well. We did have a little ice cream on the pie too, also made in Maine, Gifford’s Ice Cream. So in all seriousness this was well received,” Collins told reporters on Thursday after the meeting at the Capitol.
“Unfortunately, you know, the president can’t,” said Collins when asked if Obama ate at the lunch meeting.
 
“He looked longingly at it,” Collins continued. “He honestly did look longingly at it, but apparently he has to have essentially a taster, and I pointed out to him that we were all tasters for him, that if the food had been poisoned all of us would have keeled over so, but he did look longingly at it and he remarked that we have far better food than the Democrats do, and I said that was because I was hosting.”

 Just heard the transcript of the lady describing perez not able to eat without his taster. Absolutely amazing. Are his tasters "canaries"? Checking salt content? Huh?

  Funny how freaky most elites and celebs become.  J

I can't speak about security measures for Obama in particular, but years ago, when my brother-in-law got assigned as a cop to patrol the outer perimeter of a venue where the President was staying during a campaign stop, he learned about some of the procedures of that era.


The President travels with his own chef, to eliminate the route of attack via food poisoning.  Obama was likely simply following the rules established by the Secret Service, and there was nothing partisan about it.  He probably would have loved to eat the meal provided.

Susan Collins?  You mean one of two Senate Republicans (along with Mitch McConnell) who are actually to the left of Obama on gun control?  Wayne LaPierre would do well to bring HIS food tasters to any sit-down with either of those two.

A bone chilling thought either way. Obama staying in charge or Biden taking over.

YEP, a very chilling thought. With all the obummerbots right ere I'm amazed at least one wouldn't volunteer to protect their master. On the bright side, I doubt bidens wife would cost us as much as michelle and her $1.4 million hoochee appearances. POWDERMAN.
