Heartless Media Will Not Let Obama Finish Breakfast

"Chomping down on sausage and waffles at Glider's Diner today with Sen. Bob Casey at his side, Barack Obama declined, in a sense, to comment on Jimmy Carter's meeting with Hamas. Asked if he had heard that Carter reported a positive outcome from the meeting, Obama looked at the reporter who questioned him and said, 'Why can't I just eat my waffle?' Asked again by the reporter, Obama bit. Not at the question but into a butter-covered bite of Glider's specialty over-size Belgian waffles. With a wink this time he said, 'Just let me eat my waffle.'" Suggestion for Senator Obama: At the next debate, God forbid there is one, show up with a extra large pizza and a Big Gulp. That should carry you through the first hour, at least. Hotline
