Brother, you are wearing him out!
“Why can’t I just eat my waffle?” [Obama] said, when asked a foreign policy question by a reporter at the Glider Diner.
Do you see the problem here? Here he is, a man of the people, attempting to have a nice waffle sans arugula at a diner, as a regular American would, and a reporter has to ask him a question about foreign policy. I mean, ferchrissakes, people, who can speak of foreign policy before he’s (or she’s) had his (or her) waffle? How rude is that?
Dan – it’s ok to do at intl haus of pancakes, I believe.
Waffle House… not so much.
Foreign policy question?
Politican dude needed to have his waffle, before he gave you his waffle.
Depends. Was it a Belgian waffle?
I will now do the dance of the first to make the obvious, stupid joke!!!eleventy!!!
Chick-a-Boom, Chick-a-Boom, y’all!!
On the list of words politicians should never let come out of their mouths, “waffle” is #37,104.
If I am eating a waffle or sitting on the shitter I wants me some alone time.
They can have my waffle when they pry it from my…fuck it, you get the idea.
Hey, at least when his mouth’s full he can’t spout off any bullshit.
It’s so sad the Sen Obama doesn’t have some private place to eat his waffle.
I get Barack’s point. 8-months of eating nothing but road waffle, step off Repo-man!
He obviously wants to have his waffle and eat it too. Just imagine the staff meetings that must have taken place over the choice of syrup. Maybe they should have asked him a domestic question like, “What kind of syrup did Bill Ayers use before trying to kill people?”
CANNIBALISM!

Did the brother have ham, sausage or bacon with his waffle? I’m kinda curious about the pork when we start discussing politicians.
And potential stealth Muslims.
It’s breakfast. The phone rings…
Syrup or chicken gravy, that’s what I want to know.
I don’t know about you all, but I just really want to say to him, “Dude, you realize you’re running for president, right?”
For God’s sake, hold your tongue, and let me — er, um — eat muh waffle?
Besides, all ya’ll, there weren’t even no true grit on the menu, babba’, so you can see why I’m bitter.
But, I have a dream, today….that someday …er, um.. no one’s gonna bother you when you eat a waffle at the counter.
The footage of this was a bit disturbing, with close ups of the plate and 50 million flashes going off while dude is trying to have some breakfast. I’d be a little buggy too if someone was throwing policy questions at me every time I tried to stuff some grub in the old cakehole.
But then, yeah, #15.
#11
CANNIBALISM!
Ah! The punchline of one of the gags in Terry Gilliam’s Jabberwocky, for what it’s worth.
/as you were
There’s no waffle-eating in campaigning.
I just had a vision of Obama constantly eating waffles outside of his scripted campaign events.
“Nope, sorry guys, I’m eating a waffle here. Again.”
Visions are lucifer.
There’s no waffle-eating in campaigning.
Yea, Only shit-eating shall be allowed! But it must also be accompanied at least by a grin, wot?
It’s whining, is what it is, and the response of a man not used to command or giving orders. A man used to command would have had a system already in place to ensure his privacy when he wanted it; a lesser man would have given orders to clear space for his privacy right then; and the man not used to command or giving orders whines about it.
Obama identified himself as the third type.
Visions are lucifer.
Your first visit is free.
Obama identified himself as the third type.
Well said, and taken, Robert, imo. But it’s really much worse than that.
3 AM, hell.
Let’s just hope that the red telephone doesn’t ring while Obama’s having brekky.
His experience as a Constitutional Law Professor I am afraid is not conducive to dealing with the Press and Street fighting. Damn, that lying but tough Hillary might just catch him. And she’s smart too and might give McCain a hard time in a debate.
As i said before I am all for something new, Obama’d be it, I hoped but i am now seeing him as a weaker version of Bill Clinton: appeasement of the Right would be his mantra if elected. And he’s making George McGovern look like a huge winner in comparison now. At this rate, McCain doesn’t need to raise any more money, it’ll be a cakewalk. Wake up! Obama!
What killed it for me was yesterday’s interview on NPR’s All things Considered. The poor guy was exhausted and stumbling on his words trying to think things out. He was trying to be ever considerate and neutral in his tone….but he needed some Reaganish ad hominems and attacks. A few ‘welfare queens’ and ‘liberal’s’ to excoriate. He really is trying to be the uniter, not the divider, but that’s not politics, that’s social work.
I still hold he could be another Lincoln….but then Lincoln was an accomplished brawler (actually ‘catchwrestler’ is more like it) who won many combats on his route to be a bookish lawyer. I think not for Obama. Maybe he should call Jeff for some quick training sessions?
loons are an endangered species, don’t eat ’em. but waffles?
In my experience, people don’t tend to excoriate themselves.
(Not that I’m implying that he’s a welfare queen.)
See?
This is why I could never vote for him – pigment be damned.
Why couldn’t he have said: “I want my WaPo”?
Anyone who takes himself as seriously as “The Big O” does, is, IMHO, not smart enough to be my prediderny. I left that there on purpose, because I wanted to demonstrate that I am obviously not smart enough to voice my opinion about a pseudo-black Marxist becoming my prediderny.
I also am too lazy to turn on the light right now. All the letters on my keyboard look the same to me without the lights on, but I don’t want to destroy the mood, as I just might want to go back to bed.
The Big O is gonna raise taxes because “It’s fair”? I hear that as: “Even though you are one step above a street urchin and are lucky to be able to pay your electric bill, you are white, and deserve to be punished, you institutionally racist piece of dung. Take THAT!”.
“We are going to have a “White” tax, brcause that’s the color of the people who worked their asses off to “steal” black money. We know that money falls out of heaven and that the pink guys had bigger nets with which to catch it”.
Big O and his wife do not inspire a lot of confidence in my warped little corner of the universe…
Doesn’t he know that in a Barack regime someone is going to have to give up part of their waffle so that other people can have a bigger piece of the waffle?
I love the smell of waffles in the morning!
Urrrrrrp.
Some of you people are some serious waffle blockers. Must his waffle become your political metaphor?
Let him chow down like a brown cow and leave ‘me alone!
This is really upsetting me.
The store doesn’t open for another hour, and I WANT A FUCKING WAFFLE! RIGHT NOW!
How come the closest Waffle House is in F’ing Virginia? Does Waffle House hate yankees too?
“It took ’em 45 minutes to get to a question on foreign policy”
“I didn’t get 2 bites of my big, sweet, fluffy waffle before I got a question on foreign policy”
ROOM SERVICE!
Next debate:
“So Senator McCain, do you think Senator Obama loves waffles more than he loves America?”
here go, LD.
…and the man has a HUGE Eggo.
I go back to that over and over again. That this picayune lightweight thinks he gonna be president. Unbelievable.
damn, picayune lightweight is the definition of the “chimp”, that’s really good. But that’s inheritance, not the same species.
maybe O needs to bring his daughters on the waffle house tour:
but of course since you guys lost in the primary, I don’t mind sharing it.

e gad….just didn’t get that quote right:
“Hope, St. Augustine wrote, has two beautiful daughters. They are anger and courage. Anger at the way things are and the courage to see they do not remain the way they are.”
Are an adjunct lecturer and a constitutional law professor the same thing?
Twatwaffle.
Did douchebag dave call Obama a “chimp” in #43?
“Did douchebag dave call Obama a “chimp†in #43?”
Yep.
He’s a hater.
“A waffle is a pancake that has its soul poured into the Griddle of Justice. And like a butterfly, though SmartBalance has Omega 3’s, the pancake pops out of that cocoon-like kitchen appliance – with auto-shutoff – a golden, crispy, airy waffle. The nooks working side-by-side with the crannies. The crannies gathering the delicious melted transfat-free spread and syrup, while the nooks stand for crispiness, ever vigilant against sogginess. Now I don’t know about you people, but I don’t like my waffles black. And I don’t like my waffles white. No sir. A truly great American waffle is golden brown. Not too white, not too black. Can we take our spatula of tolerance and pry out a new golden brown America? I SAY, CAN WE MAKE OUR WAFFLE GOLDEN BROWN?? YES WE CAN!
………somebody needs help there. Give her room please. Can we get some help for the lady who fainted?”
—The Barack Obama Waffle Speach, 2008
History class, 2064:
“Okay kids, we’re going to watch a YouTube. Take out your Ipods.”
“Oh not that fuckin’ waffle speech again.”
The real question that should have been asked was
“Blueberry or buttermilk?”
On the upside, he wasn’t eating French toast. Though if there was such a thing as Iranian toast, he’d love him some of that.
Can’t a black man eat a waffle without being hassled by The Man?
Smart? Oh, I forgot, all D presidential candidates are smart. Uber-smart. Smart as the dickens.
His NPR interview really was a lot unimpressive, and he didn’t get any hard questions at all. Hillary turned them down. She is pretty smart like that.
Also al’s comment at 50 is pretty bang on I think.
You’re a giver happy.
My son just got braces he doesn’t want to eat anything but Jello. As a show of solidarity, I’m going to eat whatever he eats. Could be a good weight-loss plan. 3 hours and the crabbiness has set in like epoxy.
pudding, alppuccino, pudding is the way to go. I lost ten pounds after I had my tonsils taken out my freshman year of college. couldn’t stand anything but room temperature chocolate pudding for about two weeks.
I dig pudding. Mashed potatoes is like pudding, right? Steak in the blender?
sure, they’re basically potato pudding. don’t forget the cream gravy.
As long as neither potato nor gravy can be used as an alternative fuel.
oooh, do clock batteries count?
Sorry, mashed ’em already.
MASHER!
RTO’s not the only one who spends his hard-earned income first and foremost on food. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a barrel of pudding to stir. 10 lbs. huh? Sweet!
Mmmmmm, pudding!
In a handy single serving container !!
Thanks, alp !!!
