Elitist Eats on the Campaign Trail

 

In a NYTimes piece on Obama's right hand guy, Reggie Love, we learn the following tidbits about the candidate's tastes:

"...when it comes to food, Senator Obama “eats pretty much anything, from chicken wings and barbecue and ribs to grilled fish and steamed broccoli.” But when he is campaigning in a small town with limited options, a cheeseburger is always a good bet. (“Cheddar is the cheese of choice,” Mr. Love added.)

He knows that “the boss,” as he calls Mr. Obama, likes MET-Rx chocolate roasted-peanut protein bars and bottles of a hard-to-find organic brew — Black Forest Berry Honest Tea. He keeps a supply of both on hand."

 I think we've all realized the guy does not drink coffee. We also have to come to grips with the fact that he, unlike G.H.W. Bush, likes broccoli, as well as spinach, but essentially dislikes asparagus. Delighted to have a potential president who's at least conversant with veggies, I think I'll go patriotically chomp on a carrot.
