Here's how Pattiy Torno describes what happened: "President Obama & his wife Michelle came back as promised to eat Barbeque @ 12 Bones in the Asheville RAD.

Man, If he's gonna eat there often, he needs to get with the program. That order line always reminds me of the "Soup Nazi" on Seinfeld. You gotta know what you want, then get outta the way. Glad to have the "other" Big O in Aheville!!!

I wonder how long it's been since we had a President who actually carried cash. Seems to me that most of them (famously) generously permit aides to deal with the tab. (And recall how foolish GHW Bush looked when he was caught on camera marveling at a grocery store scanner a decade after they were in common use.)

Couldn't help getting a creepy comment in there about Bush, could ya Cecil? I'm guessing your undies were in a wad over his visit to Billy Graham.

why do we always find fault in things that are not important.Look, if we were attacked today would you care if President Obama ate at what ever ,as long as he saved your life? We must remember we are all americans,we are all in this mess together.

Oh, come on travelah, 1) it's not creepy, 2)that was the most public, and publicly reported, real world out-of-touchness demonstrated by a sitting President in recent history. My point had nothing whatever to do with party or politics. Most Presidents don't carry cash because they pretty much don't engage in cash transactions.
I'm guessing your panties were in a twist over the Prez coming to Asheville.
