President Obama went out for a burger yesterday.
If you are rolling your eyes now and wondering Is this news?, well, mileage varies, of course. But it matters to me that the President of the United States actually paid money out of his own wallet for cheeseburgers from his local burger joint (twice this month, so far). He placed his order, took a number, stood in line, waited, and took his lunch home in a brown paper bag. He talked to people eating burgers on their lunch break and people who drain french fries and put pickles on buns for a living.
He runs around on the lawn with his daughters and his dog. He plays basketball with his staff. And he dances with his wife like he means it.
It matters to me that Barack Obama takes time out from leading the world to actually live in it every once in a while. I don’t/won’t always like the choices he makes as President — but I will always think the cheeseburger choices rock.
