Obama Asks Cashier: ‘Are You Gay?’ and That’s Not Even the Most Awkward Part of the Exchange

Mark this down as yet another bizarre interaction during the president’s fundraising trip last week.

During his recent trip to Austin, Texas — after shaking hands with a guy wearing a horse head in Denver — President Obama’s had an exchange with an employee of a popular joint that is raising eyebrows. When the president got up to the register (after cutting in line) at Franklin Barbecue, he was met by cashier Daniel Rugg Webb.

“Equal rights for gay people,” Webb said to the president.

“Are you gay?” President Obama asked, which apparently is a perfectly acceptable, not weird thing to ask that doesn’t involve making any assumptions.

“Only when I’m having sex,” the cashier responded.

The president laughed at Webb’s comment, before saying, “Not in front of the kids.” The two bumped fists before President Obama went on his way.

He answered “no” and requested that mac daddy let go of his junk.

Quoth Mr Webb last January:

I only wear sequins. It looks great, it looks f---ing fabulous. You don't have to have a nice-looking body, necessarily, and it looks great, it pops. It's super-showy, and also easy. Other dresses, I look stupid in. That's when I look like a man in a dress, as opposed to a queen.

Nothing unsanitary about being served food by someone who probably had a digit or two up someones poop chute within the last 24 hours!” Not That there's anything wrong with That”.

Three names.

Just another disease-ridden, boy-raping, whack-job...handling food.

The version i heard was the president put in his order then drew the number “one”.
When his sandwich was ready, the proprietor called out his order number: “One”. No response from Obama. “One”: Still no response.
Finally the proprietor points at the President. “Are You “One?”” Obama looks up at him. “What a coincidence! Are you one Too?”
