Celebrating Father’s Day early, the president had lunch with two service members and two local barbers at Kenny’s BBQ on Capitol Hill.

Give him a break? He’s had more vacations than any president in recent memory. He can have all the breaks he wants after he leaves office on January 20, 2013.

He stuck soldiers with the bill? That’s hilarious!

Well...at least the waiter got a tip because of that.

The White House, acting upon this minor faux pas being spread across the blogsphere, sent a bill for $28,500 to each of the four guests. ‘That’s the typical going rate for a lunch with the President. Someone could have picked up the $50 tab.’

Taxpayers are supposed to pick up the tab for the Rich Black Trash and other leftoid grifters and moochers.

I imagine the owner got stuck with the tab. And if I know Obama, the Secret Service probably closed the lunchroom and the entire block to everyone for several hours, at least. So the owner lost all the rest of the usual lunch crowd as well.

I like how the vermin at NBC’s Today show tried to place the Class Warfare Card. They tried to make it look like Mitt only hung out with business men for lunch while the boy in chief would eat with the common folk.

Well, for anyone with an IQ in double digits, the common folk are not going to be creating the much needed jobs. The business folks certainly are the ones who will creating PRIVATE sector jobs.

After making a big Brewhahaha over the Republicans left him the tab for a steak dinner in at least two speeches?

This calls for Obamameurism of the Day.

White House Forgets to Pay Father’s Day Lunch Tab

Just doin' what he's been doin' in his whole, government-sponsored life: appropriating for himself what belongs to others.

No need to pay. The private sector is doing fine.

Obama: The GOP stuck me with the tab for a steak dinner

“I love listening to these guys give us lectures about debt and deficits. I inherited a trillion dollar deficit!” Obama said, “just as you’re sitting down, they leave, and accuse you of running up the tab.”
