Obama Judges A Sausage..... He “proclaimes it tasty.”

From the White House Pool Report:


At 3:45 p.m the motorcade made an unscheduled stop at Usingers Fine Sausage, a local meat deli founded in 1880. A few patrons were shopping in the deli, with a large U-shaped deli counter full of Italian sausages and bratwursts. They were from Ohio, another swing state, and one was wearing an Ohio State sweathshirt.

Obama, as he had during a recent Ohio stop, helped the group spell out O-H-I-O with their arms, and the president did the H, raising his arms above his head. Then he and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett approached the deli counter and inspected the sausages.

Obama shook hands with the employees, who were wearing red smocks, and said: “I’ve got to place my order.” He ordered a kielbasa, an Italian sausage and a hot sausage. Barrett tried to use an Obama-embossed credit card to pay, but Obama insisted on paying.

An employee handed Obama a sample and he tried it, then turned to the press and instructed us to buy one. “Don’t be cheapskates,” he said. Then he added: “They wont let me buy food for them. It’s against the law.”

As the employees were wrapping his order, Obama was distracted by Bloomberg’s Hans Nichols, who was telling White House staff that he was leaving $8 to pay for his own sausages that he had taken from the deli trays.

“I left $8. I’m not stealing these,” Nichols said, waving the package.
“Am I paying for those?” Obama asked. Nichols informed him that he had left an estimated amount of money.

“How do you know it’s enough?” Obama asked.

“I left $8. That’s good, solid American currency. I estimated but if it’s not enough I know you’re good for it,” Nichols said.

The pool was escorted out. Later, as the pool was standing outside waiting for the president to come out, deputy press secretary Josh Earnest came out and handed Nichols $4 in change.

Obama then came out and was met by an employee of another sausage company across the street, who handed the president a Styrofoam container with a hot bratwurst sandwich. The president opened it and took a couple bites and proclaimed it tasty.

I love this guy....

1. As soon as I read "sausages" I knew it had to be Usingers.

I used to have to have family send it to me. Now I can get it out here.

[keroro gunsou]

13. next time he's in town

he needs to go to kopps for some custard.... i think he'd have fun there... he really enjoys being out and about and it shows.

[kestrel91316]

27. All my years visiting there I have never been to Kopp's, but

they did bring a couple of pints home one time, so I have had it.

[Indpndnt]

2. Willard would have said it all, "Came from 7-11."

Just the way he insulted the baker about his cookies. Has he ever even been inside a 7-11? Doubt it.

[baldguy]

12. He's heard about them from his servants.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. It gives me an idea for his next career after he loses the election:

The Travel Channel presents "Mitt vs. Food" -- every week, Mitt RichMan will travel to a new city, sample a local dish, and spend the next twenty minutes insulting it.

23. Funny!! Thanks! Nt

[Dash87]

26. Willard sneers at being fed peasant food

"I wouldn't let Ann's horse eat that!" (Nose up in the air)

[kimbutgar]

3. Wait a minute aren't sausages pork and Muslim's not supposed to eat pork?

[bluestate10]

6. Wing-nuts will gladly overlook that fact.

Republicans and facts mix like oil and water.

[GoCubsGo]

15. They'll also gladly overlook the fact that Muslims can't consume alcohol.

Yet, the President will likely consume those sausages with some of the White House Honey Ale that the White House chefs have produced for him. Facts, schmacts.

[mythology]

9. They will probably use it to go back to the claims that he's gay.

Either that or just ignore it so they can continue their delusions. But either way, he's definitely not born here, just ask them.

[Greybnk48]

22. Hah! Good one!

[ProfessionalLeftist]

4. The Republifarts are gonna have a LOL caption field day

with that photo.

[underpants]

17. His expression is hilarious

and yes that is very CAPTIONable

[treestar]

5. LOL

Imagine Mittens in that situation.

Well this is the first Muslim to eat pork.

[muntrv]

7. The teabaggers will call Obama a pork eating Muslim.

[muntrv]

8. Mittens would have said "These taste like Oscar Meyer weiners."

[Whovian]

10. I'd kill for a brat on a bun right now. Cooked properly. Good mustard and slaw.

I could die happy after that. Which there's a good chance I would.

[Scuba]

11. Slaw? No, sauerkraut.

Where else but Milwaukee would Barack sample a kielbasa?

[GoCubsGo]

16. Chicago.

Chicago has the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw. Slotkowski has been making kielbasa there for a century, and is one of many sausage makers in the city. I wouldn't doubt that the President has sampled many a kielbasa there.

[Scuba]

19. Poor Cubs fans, always trying to find a way to feel better about themselves.

[GoCubsGo]

21. What does beinig a Cubs fan have to do with it?

Chicago has more Poles than any place outside of Poland. My grandfather was a Polish immigrant who settled there, so I think I'd know about these matters. Looks to me like you are the one trying to find a way to feel better about yourself.

[Scuba]

25. Not to worry, just a little friendly cross-border needling...

Just so happens I love Chicago... used to live in the burbs.

[madokie]

18. A bunch of us here love this guy too

Please America give him a super majority and the house so we can get our country back on track, please.

[Scuba]

20. +1,000

Lessee....

Medicare for All

Strengthen Social Security

Raise the minimum wage

Voting rights and clean elections


And that would be just the first month!!!

[Whisp]

24. he makes me smile... a lot.

love you, Mr. President.

[lonestarnot]

28. Me too.
