Remember when the media mocked Bush for eating peanutbutter sandwhiches and fritos? I guess M&Ms are high class.

Maybe BO was eating the M&M's with a spoon . . . .

Not just any jelly beans...Jelly Belly:

Yeah, it's not like Ronald Reagan who used to eat "jelly beans" (gag)... < /sarc >

Reagan's jelly beans were an example of his lack of seriousness about the office. While major world events occurred just beyond his intellectual reach, President Reagan had the tough choice of grape or cherry. At best they were yet another example of the amiable Actor playing his biggest role without having any input on what would be on today's script.< /Full on MSM attack mode>

(Yes, that was what many of the reporters' comments on Reagan's jelly beans sounded like, and that was with nearly three decades less time to sharpen their partisan propaganda)

Brian Williams needs to go back to his job at the Pancake House in Middletown, NJ. I’m sure he was a heck of a lot better flippin’ flap jacks than he is as a journalist.

"They obviously arranged a very full day for him."

From what I know about the Presidency, every day is a very full day.

[jveritas]

"We were pretty stunned at how much we were able to record and how natural events seemed to be."

Really? Everything this man and his administration do is absolute PR and not natural. It is a 24/7 PR campaign.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

To be in the hallway when the president walks by with a handful of M&Ms, popping them in his mouth as he goes to visit his chief of staff — it was unbelievable.

Brian!....My gaydar is getting a reading from you!

[KarlInOhio]

I'm surprised the story didn't turn into Obama feeding the masses with two small burgers and five M&Ms.

Not just any jelly beans...Jelly Belly:

I can never go back to generic jelly beans ....

[nascarnation]

Good one.
I’m wondering if the Baraqqis (who were rather middle class until Baraq’s book was bought in bulk by Soros)have endorsement deals.
You always saw Michelle in a Nike hat during the campaign.
This may be another pseudo-marketing ploy.

[buccaneer81]

Me, either. I just tried the buttered popcorn flavor last week. Incredible.

[kittymyrib]

Gag. You’d think the msm would be embarrassed to carry on like this. These are not men but fainting wimps.

I fed one of those to a Swiss colleague, he said it was the most unhealthful thing he had ever put in his mouth...

Where's planned parenthood's string?

Kim Jong Il threw a birthday party while 2 million of his people were starving.

You have to understand. It’s how dictators cope. They stay at home in the mansion and enjoy the finer things in life.

[Neverforget01]

Obama must have learned to eat M & M's from Bush. Someone should let Brian Williams know!

Odd Truth June '04

WASHINGTON - In honor of President Ronald Reagan, the Bush White House switched from M&Ms to jelly beans as the office candy staple for the week.

I work for a German company. It sounds like something some of the folks who come here on business would say. They are the most uptight people on Earth.

brian williams just wants to hang with the "in-crowd"....
