President Obama tells kids he 'loses his mind' over guacamole

President Obama made a culinary confession Friday: He “loses his mind” over chips and guacamole.

The president made a brief, surprise visit to the East Room to address 54 children and their guardians, shortly after speaking to the press corps about the Malaysian airliner shot down over Ukraine yesterday.

“We are currently spending $10 billion a year on our school lunch programs,” she said. “So it’s not surprising that there are certain interests that are resisting change and trying to take us back to the old ways of doing business.

So that's where his mind went...

Yes, I can see that meeting with kids who designed "healthy meals" and telling them about his love for guacamole is a really high priority - who cares about Russia, Israel, Iran -- all the various crises...

And note the little piece of info of the Federal Government spending $10 BILLION a year on school lunches, which are mostly thrown away since the government required the specifics for their ingredients and composition.

How did this country ever survive back when parents packed the kids' lunches?

So. We have a shot down airliner. We have Israel and Hamas going at it. We have thousands of illegal kids being brought over our border. And the child-in-chief is more interested in his guacamole?????

“Elena Hirsch, an 11-year-old from Michigan, created “Barack-oli and Mich-room Obama-lette,” a dish inspired by and named for the first family. It also included “car-Malia-ized onions” and “butternut sq-Asha” for Malia and Sasha.”

Elena, that’s called “sucking up.” Go into politics.

Yes, God-forbid those diabolical, handlebar mustache twirling, evil cackling parents watching their kids starve to death in public schools.

My Dad served in WWII and Viet Nam. When he was a kid he took lard sandwiches to school. How could he grow up to be a member of "The Greatest Generation" after eating lard sandwiches for his school lunch?

Shutdown the school lunch program. Brown bag. School is there for education not child feeding and day care.

No, no, you're wrong.

That's exactly what school is for, and NOT education....with a massive surplus of six-figure babysitters.

I know plenty of parents that pack their kids' lunches - including me :-)

All kidding aside, my daughter, and the majority of her friends, do bring their own lunch.

It’s not flavorless. It has a flavor, it just happens to be disgusting.

Not after you fill it with 'crack'. Obama has a versatile chef.
