• Obama accused of 'presidential overreach' after Chipotle visit
    60 replies, posted
I go to Chipotle often and I stand up against the railing they use to set up the line to maximize distance between me and the food. For a champion of health reform he does a great job of trying to get people ill.
The tabloids aren't the only ones causing a shitstorm here :v:
It's like people forget that the President is a human being.
there are a few pics of him looking like a complete doofus like when he was shooting clay pidgeons or whatever
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;45259913]there are a few pics of him looking like a complete doofus like when he was shooting clay pidgeons or whatever[/QUOTE]I think that was an attempt to relate to all the gun owners, and it was supposed to be this epic zinger PR victory. Unfortunately his handlers or whoever is actually in charge of this sort of thing must have forgotten that they were trying to convince Republicans that Obama's not a dick. Like, this entire thing is pretty much anyone who doesn't like Obama saying how much they don't like Obama, and viola, there's some type of "controversy" on the internet and twitter is buzzing DON'T FORGET TO SHARE ON FACEBOOK. Really, I can kinda see how conspiracy theorists start seeing plots and secret alliances, we have a system that's so geared to properly capitalize drama with maximum efficiency. They should replace the EMS with some type of rumor system about the president, like this: "OBAMA SEEN READING HUSTLER MAGAZINES? SICK!!! Also, there is a severe storm warning for the eastern part of Ohio." Everyone would know about it in seconds.
He really shouldn't have reached over the sneeze glass, that's poor etiquette.
Food service has the shittiest regulation anyway, foods are kept way over their expiry time.

Obamacare will seem so much more convenient when everybody is sick from the food he'll infect!
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;45255504]This so much. You have to have actually been to a Chipotle to understand how annoying and awkward this seems as it's happening. People have the nerve to tell me I mumble and it's [I]my[/I] fault for not screaming it at them. :v:[/QUOTE] Solution: scream at everyone.

Only barbarians eat pizza with a fork and a knife.
It´s the only way to eat square pizza´s without getting really messy. No excuse for round pizza's though.
[QUOTE=Hamaflavian;45260606]He really shouldn't have reached over the sneeze glass, that's poor etiquette.[/QUOTE] Can't people just leave it at this without either A) trying to justify it because they like Obama or B) trying to blow it way out of proportion because they don't like Obama. I think we can agree that it's not good etiquette and he probably shouldn't have done it, but in the end it really doesn't matter at all because everyone does things with bad etiquette every once in a while.

Yeah over here too, you're supposed to use cutlery to eat stuff most of the time. (Except sandwiches, hamburgers and stuff like that of course.) I once ate chips/french fries with my hands and was told I was eating "Like an American" :v:

Someone make a petition demanding Obama issues an apology for this massive overreach.
I don't get Germaphobes... don't they realise just how many germs and bacteria are inside their body, over every bit of their skin and so on? really? Its kind of stupid avoiding germs, i say just don't care, wash your hands when they -need- washing. and so on. I pretty much never get ill as i have had all my illnesses before. My immune system is more powerful then the Tridant Nuclear System.

This is just what's wrong with media in general. There are much more important things to be telling the world about but somehow this is important.

[editline]2nd July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=The freeman;45266599]That's why napkins were invented.[/QUOTE] I dunno, anytime I try to eat a pizza like this when it has cheese on it, the layer of cheese always end up slipping off the slice before I'm even halfway through. I prefer to cut it with cutlery, at least that way it ensures all the topping stays together.

literal presidential overreach wicked
