Obama claims broccoli is his favorite food
2013-07-10

Because I won...
likes burgers, hot dogs and such, but when it came time to answer a kid journalist's question about his favorite food, broccoli was the first word that sprang from his lips.

This revelation came on Tuesday at a White House event that recognized children who won a healthy recipe contest, as part of first lady Michelle Obama's anti-obesity campaign.

Having fun with the children, Obama agreed to take two questions from the journalists among them. The first asked what was Obama's favorite food. Broccoli was the presidential reply, according to a White House aide.

This from a politician who has literally eaten his way across the country: Burgers in a Washington suburb with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev; ribs in Asheville, North Carolina; hot dogs at a basketball game in Dayton, Ohio; and a tasty pastry called a kringle in Wisconsin.

#11  With Moochelle in the room, there is no way that he would dare to say what his favorite food actually was.

#10  Actually, raw broccoli is pretty good when eaten with a blue cheese dip.

But cooked? NO.

#9  Broccoli isn't food. It isn't even what food eats.

#8  I had to go check out what the winning dishes were.

Sweet potato turkey sliders. When I clicked on turkey to find the recipe, the PKK attacked, which I thought was appropriate.

D *** NG IT, BUSH 41 ["H" = Herbert] was POTUS of these United States = World's #1 Superpower, + iff he doesn't like Broccoli neither his Mom nor the FLOTUS can make him eat any!

So there!

FYI on Fox's "The Five" Michelle's yogurt diet was discussed - the Babes went for the yogurt while Beckel + Boyz went for McDonald's Double Cheeseburgers.

AS GOD INTENDED TO BE.
