Pulitzer time: Andrea Mitchell blows the lid off Obama’s lunch order
posted at 2:40 pm on May 5, 2009 by Allahpundit
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.

I don’t know what bothers me about Obama more, that he’s unembarrassed by the Press’ devotion or that he gets so miffed when he doesn’t receive it?
jacrews on May 5, 2009 at 2:42 PM
Seriously: Protests staged around MSM headquarters. Complete w/ burning effigies of our smug media elite.
Sounding better everyday, isn’t it?

Bacon Burger Mmmmmmm

Oh. Em. Gee.

High society is alive and well in Washington. Do they make waffle burgers?
unclesmrgol on May 5, 2009 at 2:44 PM
Yeah, how sweet of him to pay for their lunch too with our money that we pay him.
Thank you, sir.
ThePrez on May 5, 2009 at 2:44 PM
You sure Andrea didn’t yell “Eat Me!” to Obama?
jon1979 on May 5, 2009 at 2:44 PM
Yeah, I bet all the media got theirs with “special sauce.”
BigD on May 5, 2009 at 2:44 PM
So now he’s buying “some” of the press lunch? Is this a bribe? I don’t know about anyone in the press, but if a burger buys them off, this is even worse than I thought.
btw….how much is this going to cost the tax payers?
capejasmine on May 5, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Heh. That is why the economy is recovering because Obama is buying his own food. It is a sign!!!
deidre on May 5, 2009 at 2:45 PM
I read that and imagined something completely horrible.

Fire Andrea Mitchell!

YouTube is reporting that the video has been removed by the user. That didn’t take long.
Rip Ford on May 5, 2009 at 2:45 PM
What?!?! He couldn’t get fries.
Allah, this is breaking news. He finally didn’t get something he wants!!!

If Rome had TV, this is the kind of stuffed they’d be watching as the Barbarians broke down the walls.

You know. Buffet said to not buy anything newspaper wise as it is junk. I wonder if the same goes for the MSM?

Do. Not. Want. That image in my head.
BadgerHawk on May 5, 2009 at 2:46 PM
This is truly embarrassing.
txag92 on May 5, 2009 at 2:46 PM
I also want to add….yo Press. Hold out for some of those fancy sneakers, like Michelle has!
$540 for sneakers. My wedding dress didn’t cost that d@man much money.
capejasmine on May 5, 2009 at 2:46 PM
Thank God the press is on this. What if this had been kept from the American public?
darwin on May 5, 2009 at 2:46 PM
Come on, the press was always fair to Bush. Don’t you remember the stories about he and Laura walking and holding hands? The stories about him making a BBQ run with Cheney????
carbon_footprint on May 5, 2009 at 2:46 PM
andrea mitchell looks like diseased dog.

Darn, I was dying to know what His Majesty likes on his burger.

The video has already been removed. Behold the frightening power of Obama.
Tommy_G on May 5, 2009 at 2:48 PM
Now they’ll always expect to be fed.
frankj on May 5, 2009 at 2:49 PM
Note to Obama: If the press gives you a burger with too much mayo, I wouldn’t eat it.
Just an FYI. It probably ain’t mayo.
lorien1973 on May 5, 2009 at 2:50 PM
THAT sounds stupid in concept, jumping on any excuse to reference Carrie Prejean poorly, Allahpundit. It takes gutter trash to do smear campaigns.
maverick muse on May 5, 2009 at 2:50 PM
The video has been pulled – the Obama transparency convoy keeps right on rolling. Transparency = Invisible

Boy, this didn’t stay up long.

Too quick to be offended. Totally missed his point.

Methinks Andrea wanted to offer Obama a tasty helping of a different burger….and special sauce…..if ya know what I mean.
guitarguy on May 5, 2009 at 2:52 PM
Allahpundit: it’s the story she was born to cover.
I would rather cover Andrea Mitchell.
Full burkah, please.
Loxodonta on May 5, 2009 at 2:52 PM
A multicultural world citizen politician eating hamburgers on Cinco de Mayo; insensitivity.
maverick muse on May 5, 2009 at 2:53 PM
To distingush her, I’d suggest one of those black Halloween outfits with the white skeletal outline superimposed.
BuckeyeSam on May 5, 2009 at 2:55 PM
Didn’t every last one of these phony libs scoff at President Bush being elected as the “kind of guy you could have a beer with”? Meanwhile, these imbeciles can’t wait to smell this guy’s breath and thank him for it.
LibTired on May 5, 2009 at 2:55 PM
BREAKING NEWS****BREAKING NEWS**** LIVE, FROM THE PLUMBING SYSTEM OF THE WHITE HOUSE**** BREAKING NEWS***
Good afternoon. Andrea Mitchell, reporting live from within the plumbing system of the Whitehouse. I, Andrea Mitchell have just confirmed that it is a FACT. A FACT… That precedent Obama does sh*t Skittles. I just ate one and saved it to show our viewers.
Note its smooth and shiny texture in the color purple ensconced with rainbow yellow and… Oh! What’s THIS??!!??
I just swallowed a peanut disguised as a Skittle. Isn’t He clever! The precedent is not ONLY able to sh*t skittles, but he also gives out chocolate covered peanuts as well.
Back to you, Keith!
Key West Reader on May 5, 2009 at 2:55 PM
ahahaha, they’re throwing themselves down the trash chute and they don’t even know it. They’ve already reached NATIONAL ENQUIRER status, no one who really wants NEWS ever turns to that channel. Now they’re looking more and more like THE ONION CHANNEL. At least some of the newspapers are going down with some integrity intact, these people don’t even have a shred of it.
Nobody really needs the video to know this is what they’re capable of do they?
scalleywag on May 5, 2009 at 2:56 PM
Not personally offended. It was tacky.
maverick muse on May 5, 2009 at 2:56 PM
The only interesting thing about Obama buying a burger for lunch is that fact that he didn’t have it delivered from Chicago.

TheBigOldDog on May 5, 2009 at 2:56 PM
Are we really supposed to believe that the Secret Service just let a president, even this arrogant a#$%^&* pop in unannounced to a burger joint in a strip mall and stand around with lunchtime riff raff? Seems pretty reckless to me – I thought all conservatives were bigots just looking to do Obama harm.
katiejane on May 5, 2009 at 2:56 PM
The burger video is now classified.
LibTired on May 5, 2009 at 2:56 PM
Was that one of them ‘cinco del quattro’ burgers? Them’s good eatin’!
robblefarian on May 5, 2009 at 2:57 PM
Hey, y’all…I just had some cherry yogurt for lunch. You can have the scoop on that–the Pulitzer is yours to fight over.
Bob's Kid on May 5, 2009 at 2:57 PM
LOL
Just what she’d impose on the rest of the world.
maverick muse on May 5, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Un… freakin… believable.

If anyone was wondering, I had a tuna salad sandwich for lunch, with a lemonaide.

Did he order his burger with ketchup and cuatro?
infidel4life on May 5, 2009 at 3:07 PM
DUDE! I mean, well…DUDE!
Keyser-Soze on May 5, 2009 at 3:07 PM
I can understand Andrea covering this food story.
She acts like she wants some sausage….
I’ll let Lorien tell which kinda sausage
LincolntheHun on May 5, 2009 at 3:07 PM
Can any of these yahoo reporters ever recover from their loss of dignity? I thought Chuck Todd was bad when he was exasperated covering the walls being spackled and painted just for Obama on Inauguration Day, but this report takes the cake.
sherry on May 5, 2009 at 3:08 PM
I don’t even want to know what Andrea’s having for lunch. She probably had to get in line.
baldilocks on May 5, 2009 at 3:09 PM
He was taking a jab at Olby and a previous segment on his show, not at Prejean per se.
BadgerHawk on May 5, 2009 at 3:09 PM
baldilocks on May 5, 2009 at 3:09 PM
whatever andrea is having for lunch, i am positive she will wash it all down with kool aid!

No problem there. That Obambi guy is just the body double for the presidency. The real brain actually in charge is none other than Mr. Telepromter. :)

I hate to interrupt your snark, but these are the main headlines at your Most Favored “news” source:

…now please, carry on.

How will I pass my current events quiz if I can’t watch these important news stories???
Scrappy on May 5, 2009 at 3:11 PM
Since this video was pulled could someone describe it? I am appalled at the censorship that is part of this Administration. How can this still be called America?

I hope somebody grabbed it before it got pulled… and I hope somebody looks into the whos whats wheres whens and whys of its pulling… but that would be dangerously close to journalism.
mankai on May 5, 2009 at 3:13 PM
Does this duffus ever work?
txag92 on May 5, 2009 at 3:13 PM
Monica Crowley is playing it on her program now. “He wanted fries but they didn’t have them. ”
These people act like they’ve joined a cult.

Just when you think it can’t get worse…
youngO on May 5, 2009 at 3:14 PM
mmmmmm……the Regular Guy meme. Must be more news to break about $500 running shoes or Air Force One Tours of New York.
Of course the other possibility is that the press and Prez just spontaneously converged.
moxie_neanderthal on May 5, 2009 at 3:15 PM
There is no burger video to see here. Keep moving.
LibTired on May 5, 2009 at 3:16 PM
Andrea Mitchell blows….period.
RobCon on May 5, 2009 at 3:17 PM
Dang, I really wanted to see that video. Did Barack micromanage Biden’s order, like he usually does?
Buy Danish on May 5, 2009 at 3:17 PM
Welcome back my friends

We’re so glad you could attend,

thomasaur on May 5, 2009 at 3:17 PM
Pulled it already?
drjohn on May 5, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Just for balance, don’t forget Andrea also broke the following stories about the Bush administration:
Bush’s Pentagon kept candidate Obama from visiting the troops in Landstuhl
and
Cheney had not actually requested documents from the CIA about KSM’s interrogation.
So what if they were both wrong. Obama!
MayBee on May 5, 2009 at 3:19 PM
No, but Gibbs popped up out of nowhere after Biden ordered, and said “what he really meant to order was a garden burger and some sweet potato fries….”
Scrappy on May 5, 2009 at 3:19 PM
I think of Greenday, “Wake me up when

I don’t know, Biden doesn’t look too happy to be there. Confined spaces maybe? Biden must be pissed about something, oh yeah, Obama sending you to Kosovo. HaHaHa sucks to be you Joe.
BDU-33 on May 5, 2009 at 3:20 PM
That’s Ray’s Hellburger. I despise Obama, but this was a good choice.
boko fittleworth on May 5, 2009 at 3:21 PM
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has scheduled an afternoon presser to apologize for any confusion regarding Vice President Joe Biden’s food order and provide clarification as to what he really meant.
