Obama also seized the opportunity to respond to an embarrassing quote from an unnamed White House official that Republicans have used to their advantage in the battle over who is to blame for hundreds of thousands of people going without pay checks.

Obama and Old Joe weren’t going there to eat. They were just dropping off more baloney. They’re good at putting out baloney.

Is that one of his tax payer paid secret service guys with him?

I thought the gummit was shut down and no personnel are being paid—say like the guards at our federal monuments.........

But then, I’m sure this guy is working without pay—out of his sense of duty to the P0tuS.

President Obama waves at people as he and Vice President Biden go to lunch.

President Barack Obama took a rare stroll out of the White House grounds on Friday afternoon, going to a popular sandwich shop about a half-block away on Pennsylvania Avenue with Vice President Joe Biden because they were “starving.”

Who’s he waving at? The secret service? There’s no one else in the photo.

I’m certain that an advance team would have cleared the shop before Obama was allowed to enter.

Hey Roberta Rampton of Reuters - give it a try - those limos are all over DC... can’t be too hard to get a few pictures... Well, unless you’re shilling for one party.

No, the reason was to demonstrate he is fearless. The loony woman his cops killed did not intimidate him to lock himself in the White House

If the Obama Curse holds, that sandwich shop will be closed down within a month.

Did he get the 10% discount for furloughed gov employees? Oh, wait, he’s still on the payroll and has an expense account which those furloughed employees help pay for.

You mean there are people going out to eat in a government shutdown? They must think it won’t last forever and that they will be paid for the days they did not work.

I can’t believe there are people in a sandwich shop or along the Barrycaded streets of DC. Shouldn’t these poor people be using their new insurance to visit the physician for the first time ever? Oh wait. After paying the premium, they can’t afford the copay.
