SansPretense

Earlier today…well, I guess, techincally yesterday, but for future reference my day starts when I wake up and ends when I go to sleep, so to me, it’s still Tuesday…anyway, earlier I was browsing blogs and laughed my ass off at FrankJ’s latest “In my World” about Obama’s love for waffles taking precedence over foreign affairs. I just assumed the “waffle” aspect was some type of creative reference to Obama’s flip-flopping positions during this election. Later, I was browsing Cassy Fiano’s blog and saw an MSNBC video of Obama turning down questions while eating waffles (go to her page to view the video). Now I get the allusion! Thanks Cassy!

John Hawkins and Michelle Malkin and others (hat tip Cassy Fiano) have poked fun at Obama’s new found way of ducking questions (this one apparently was about Jimmy Carter and Hamas becoming fast friends), but I have to say that my favorite quote comes from AllahPundit (hat tip John Hawkins):

If the man can’t enjoy his waffle then the terrorists have already won.

Come on yall, cut the Man some slack. What the hell is the point in running for President of the United States if you can’t get the respect you deserve to be able to just eat a damn waffle in peace without being asked totally pointless questions that have nothing to do with being president? He’s doing us all a favor by running! He could just as easily have given us the Royal Finger and got a job at WaffleHouse, but instead, He’s fulfilling his sacred duty to bring us hope and change so that we don’t have to cling to our guns and religion anymore. Stop distracting Him and the voters from talking about the issues (or eating waffles) by focusing on these silly character traits. That’s Respect dammit, with a capital R. That’s what He deserves.
