Via Breitbart, it’s the story she was born to cover. Okay, the other story she was born to cover.
If you think this sounds stupid in concept, wait until you hear the actual narration. Hopefully Olby will have her on tonight to delve further into this important breaking news, no doubt in between segments with Michael Musto bantering about what gutter trash Carrie Prejean is for posing topless or whatever. Note too that The One ponied up and bought for some of the press corps too. How sweet to see unrequited love finally returned.

Are there any journalist left in America? I mean besides bloggers, who really reach a very small audience.
Who was the “user” that pulled the video? I mean someone put it up… did the same person remove it? Why? death threats? That is this administrations MO now isn’t it.
petunia on May 5, 2009 at 3:23 PM
Can’t see video, only get audio.
from the article:
That Joe. God bless him. He has a gift.
Loxodonta on May 5, 2009 at 3:24 PM
Medium well?
Both these guys know how to ruin everything.
mankai on May 5, 2009 at 3:24 PM
They got not just a free lunch, but a tax cut.
Badger40 on May 5, 2009 at 3:26 PM
He’s celebrating with the riff raff, because he got the riff raff out of his daughters school, and back into the public system. Ugh!
He doesn’t want his kids associating with those, beneath them.
capejasmine on May 5, 2009 at 3:27 PM
ya know, Biden is an idiot, but the man got a root beer with his junk food. and of course obama got a “water”.
Ghoul aid on May 5, 2009 at 3:27 PM
%$^&@^&&#!!!!…Video removed by user?…LOL..oh,that’s right, Hussein wants ownership rights to eeeeevrything!

Hey, TOTUS can order without the use of a telepromter?!
TN Mom on May 5, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Did he order the John Kerry Philly cheese steak with Swiss cheese???
phreshone on May 5, 2009 at 3:31 PM
Well he did have to read from the menu, but was his head moving from side to side?
thomasaur on May 5, 2009 at 3:32 PM
Ah… still campaigning, I see…
D2Boston on May 5, 2009 at 3:32 PM
By the way, was this the diner that Biden talked about during the campaign? The one that closed 20 years ago?
BuckeyeSam on May 5, 2009 at 3:32 PM
With alfalfa sprouts.
BuckeyeSam on May 5, 2009 at 3:33 PM
It’s gone. Poop.
savvydude on May 5, 2009 at 3:35 PM
We missed the beginning of the video where Obama promised the cow “hope and change”.
LibTired on May 5, 2009 at 3:37 PM
This is ludicrous, why would they cover this as a “breaking news story”?
If Bush pulled this prank, all we would hear about is the traffic jam it caused and the people who couldn’t get their lunch due to the comotion…women, children and minorities affected hardest.

beef..not very green, Barry. Yaknow, we can’t go around eating what we want, and heating our houses to 70 degrees and expect the rest of the world to stand it.

infidel4life on May 5, 2009 at 3:20 PM
I read the article. This really is national news? Oh my Heck! What have we stooped to?
petunia on May 5, 2009 at 3:39 PM
Thanks for the video. The microphones kinda ruin any attempts to convey spontaneity, so I put this in the FAIL category.
I wonder how long and hard the W.H. press office worked to put this together? Clearly it’s meant to make us doubt the accumulating evidence that he’s a Machiavellian Chicago thug.
Buy Danish on May 5, 2009 at 3:40 PM
Even the video links at NBCLosAngeles are down the memory hole, along with the *gasp* slideshow!
TASS71 on May 5, 2009 at 3:41 PM
100 bucks that Obama eats his hamburger with a knife & fork. Such a puss.
portlandon on May 5, 2009 at 3:42 PM
With any luck someone spit on his burger before they served it.
petunia on May 5, 2009 at 3:45 PM
Are they idiots (well, duh, of course?) Dear Leader and Plugs together in public? One nut case and we have Pres Pelosi and Sheets Byrd next!!!! Drink time!!!!!!
Dingbat63 on May 5, 2009 at 3:45 PM
He left a $5 tip on a $100 order?????
Blake on May 5, 2009 at 3:45 PM
NO, with arugula… ROFLOL I CAN”T BELIEVE THIS IS A NEWS ITEM.. The MSM has lost ALL credibility… Pretty pathetic..
reshas1 on May 5, 2009 at 3:46 PM
It’s Cinco de Mayo — shouldn’t he be eating little taquitos and drinking margaritas?
Blake on May 5, 2009 at 3:46 PM
It is an important story: How Bammy stiffs the working man and woman.
Blake on May 5, 2009 at 3:48 PM
Video gone. Michelle had it yanked. She couldn’t see how it helped her kids…
av8tr on May 5, 2009 at 3:49 PM
I don’t like the man, but I don’t want anyone spitting (or otherwise) on anyone’s food. That’s just gross.
changer1701 on May 5, 2009 at 3:49 PM
Still works for me.
infidel4life on May 5, 2009 at 3:50 PM
We should bombard PETA with this video. Buy ads in their trade mag’s with Hussein biting deep into 8oz of charred bovine flesh. Then send it to the food Nazi’s with the nutrtional breakdown of their dear leader chowing down 300 grams of saturated fat.
veni vidi vici on May 5, 2009 at 3:50 PM
THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT HAD HAMBURGERS TODAY!!!
LOOKEEE HERE!!! analysis at 6.
oh and iraq is heating up, israel is demanding a fix in iran in 3 months, the nuclear armis in pakistan are unsecure and china is planning for war against the USA. But more importantly….
MICHELLE OBAMAS ARMS ARE FIRM!!! LOOK AT THE PUPPY!!! LOOK AT HER SHOES!!! I WANT TO PLEASURE BOTH OBAMAS!!!
oh wait, that last part was supposed to remain in my head…
/Wacked out MSM reporter mode off.
sonofdy on May 5, 2009 at 3:50 PM
More breaking news….
They do not serve fries but only cole slaw and chips.
The average burger is around $10 bucks.
Blake on May 5, 2009 at 3:53 PM
sonofdy on May 5, 2009 at 3:50 PM
LOL… good stuff
Ugly on May 5, 2009 at 3:53 PM
Oh you spoil sport! Why do you like Obama so much…?
Okay my comment was pretty mean… I actually think the anger from this article should be directed at the press anyway so it is their burgers that should be less than wholesome.
petunia on May 5, 2009 at 3:54 PM
That would be some scary Secret Sauce.

You know some of us have to eat tonight.

sonofdy on May 5, 2009 at 4:02 PM
The very possibility that restaurant workers would do that just turns my stomach, regardless of the intended vicitm. Its why that Dominos video was so reprehensible. With that said, though, I understand the sentiment. Personally, I hope the burgers were burnt to a crisp and the root beer flat as hell.

Well, I couldn’t find the original “breaking news” vid anywhere, it’s been scrubbed from NBC, but I did manage to grab a similar copy without the news captions and put it on LiveLeak.
Go see quick before it falls down the memory hole too.
TASS71 on May 5, 2009 at 4:21 PM
That’s the least of what I hope someone did to his burger.
anniekc on May 5, 2009 at 4:21 PM
Like the Scare Force One pictures..they just realized that what The One has for lunch is classified Top Secret.
AUINSC on May 5, 2009 at 4:21 PM
I can haz cheezburger?
ronsfi on May 5, 2009 at 4:25 PM
I think Obama and Biden must be having a lot of fun with this. I can just imagine…
BO: Hey Joe, you got lunch plans?
JB: Nuthin much, just gonna eat my PB&J in my office.
Bo: Want to go have some fun and mess with some reporters?
JB: What do you mean? Are any enclosed spaces involved?
BO: No Joe, stop being so paranoid. Let just go get some lunch and see how much coverage we get on TV.
JB: Uh, OK. Do I need a mask?
BO: Oh Joe…. no, just grab your jacket. Here’s the plan we’ll go to some greasy spoon and act like regular Joe’s and bet on who will give us the best coverage. You can do that right, act like your name is Joe?
JB: Um, I think so…
BO: OK, so what is the bet going to be? How about which reporter will be first to comment on who well we tip? Sound good?
JB: UM ok. Can I get dibs on Sean Penn?
BO: He’s not a journalist, pick someone else.
JB: Uh, how about Olberman?
BO: Well, not really but OK, then I’ll take Chuck Todd. Gibbs who do you want?
Gibbs: Hmm, well it’s not gonna be Tapper. How about Helen Thomas? Yeah, her.
BO: OK, let’s hit a burger shop in Virginia. Someone alert the press.
Gibbs: I’m on it.
JB: OK, but can you get swine flu from hamburgers? I mean they are made from ham…
BO: Shut up Joe, let’s go. This is going to be great.
Scrappy on May 5, 2009 at 4:32 PM
Andrea Mitchell is the GROSSEST woman alive. Seriously, she scared my little girl sh*tless when her ugly mug popped on the TV during the convention.
marklmail on May 5, 2009 at 4:32 PM
Did he buy some carbon credits from the gorbot to cover this little jaunt across town to stimulate the economy.
chemman on May 5, 2009 at 4:39 PM
Video seems to have been removed. Anybody want to summarize what showed?
gregbert on May 5, 2009 at 4:41 PM
That was fast!
MessNBC must have full time staff taking down Youtube videos.
OxyCon on May 5, 2009 at 4:43 PM
Next up- President Obama and the vice president take a crap in the stalls at the bus station.
WE REPORT. YOU DECIDE!

A Saturday Night Live skit written directed and produced.
Guess we really don’t need comedians when we have such clowns.

So they got into The Beast and drove into VA for a pair of friggin’ burgers? That’s not very green, is it? Was the WH chef off today, or did they run out of Wagyu?
Kid from Brooklyn on May 5, 2009 at 4:54 PM
She hasn’t seen Helen Thomas yet has she?
Old Hippie Vet on May 5, 2009 at 4:56 PM
Ha Ha Ha Ha Allah great stuff that headline! All I can picture is the manhole cover in Manhattan that was blown skyhigh by a steampipe leak about six months after 9/11. OMG that is funny shit.
sonnyspats1 on May 5, 2009 at 5:00 PM
Allah P.-
Hot Air needs to begin handing out the MOKA (Media Obama Kneepad Award) Prize.
Presented for The Most Obseqious Media Story about the One, The Most Fulsomely In-The-Tank Reporter for Barry and The Most Cleverly Ignored Embarrassment/Gaffe/Idiocy/Ignorance about BHO, etc.
Gold spray-painted carpenter’s/gardener’s kneepads would do for the “trophy”, and a pair should be sent to Andrea “Double Cheese” Mitchell, immediately.
And then then next MOKA to the White House reporter who asked Barry what “enchanted” him about the Office.
And scores of other kneeling, fawning lickspittles in the MSM.
The Hot Air Monthly MOKA Prize?
profitsbeard on May 5, 2009 at 5:14 PM
dang~ forgot a “u” —”… Most Obsequious…”— [above]
profitsbeard on May 5, 2009 at 5:18 PM
With as many examples as there are I would say you’re not thinking nearly often enough. It could be at least daily, if not hourly.
Scrappy on May 5, 2009 at 5:18 PM
He did say grossest woman, so it wouldn’t qualify.
Scrappy on May 5, 2009 at 5:21 PM
LOL
At one time I think it was….kind of. Only her doctor knows for sure.
Old Hippie Vet on May 5, 2009 at 5:26 PM
Yup. You got that frikkin’ right, Scrap-man.
If not The MSM Kneepad Minute.
But I was using ironic reserve.
( Thinking to leave some fine-tuning / decision-making for Allapundit… otherwise it might seem obstreperous from my part.)
profitsbeard on May 5, 2009 at 5:31 PM
Why on earth would they pull that video? Seriously. Everyone supposedly LOVES him, his ratings are sky high, and Dana Millbank thinks he really is God.
4shoes on May 5, 2009 at 5:50 PM
AP- There is a BREITBART link to the video, still.
Fulsome, smarmy, puny and greasy reporting.
profitsbeard on May 5, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Video not working… but just like the $300,000 NYC terror scare ordered by the White House, I have to wonder how “green” this is, when he certainly could have gotten a burger at the white house… or sent someone who didn’t need secret service, and a friggin’ convoy, to go pick the burgers up and bring them back.
RightWinged on May 5, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Embedded link doesn’t work for the video, but the web address where it shows is:

Yes, because he’s just so dooooowwn with the common

No, of course not.
Dr. ZhivBlago on May 5, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Am I dreaming?
I’m gobsmacked. I just can’t believe that this is now our reality. I remember when people used to take drugs to escape from reality. Now I’m living in Bizarro World, where you’ll have to take drugs to be normal.
I wish to God I could wake up.

How dare you suggest this…
…and leave out the part where the guy who spits on the burger is an illegal Mexican immigrant?
Daggett on May 6, 2009 at 12:23 AM
They went there because Ray’s Hellburger was voted one of the top 50 burger joints in the US in the latest Food Network Magazine. It is close by my house and I went there on Saturday because I had just found out about it and OMG those are some tasty burgers!!!!eleven!
I blogged about it here.
One of the cool things about Ray’s is they take cash only and they have no one there that doesn’t speak perfect English. No one looked illegal to me.
There is a sight awesome to behold: A 20 gallon container of ground beef, around which three women stand to make beef patties by hand. Its like a meaty sewing circle. Some of the burgers come with frois gras and truffle oil.
BelchSpeak on May 6, 2009 at 12:53 AM
And I don’t care who you are: You find out the best burger joint in the state is a mile and a half from your house, you go. Ray’s is just past Roosevelt Island in DC as you enter Arlington from the route 50 bridge.
And at least he didn’t fly in a stupid pizza maker this time.
