Pretty amusing 'Dijongate' - the Left is becoming brittle and paranoid.

I guess that is what a 129 billion dollar welfare check to GE buys.

Can't be long before we see signs that read "behead those who mock the Obamessiah."

you know of course there are three kinds of turd ?

there's mus-turd
there's cus-turd

and there's YOU, you little shit.

The left's hyper-adulation of "the One" is collapsing as more people begin to notice the "emperor's" lack of clothing...

We need to pass a "Defamation of Obama" law NOW!

Hilarious, Dijongate and Obama can't cut the mustard!

Don't forget Obama ordered from Ray's "Hell Burger".

The gossip now is whether they got "Freedom Fries" with their "Hell Burger".

Odd that nobody seems to raise the issue on how much that burger-media-camera-op really cost the taxpayer when you think how expensive the security of POTUS (In this case TOTUS) is when he steps out of the white house, air force one, his helicopter or his bullet proof limosine.

Just a few days prior, Americans were up in arms at the cost (Not to mention lost productivity when NY'ers panicked out of sky scrappers) to fly Air Force One for some pretty pictures.

This is my favorite off the link:

"There is a lingering question, however, as to just who Barack Obama is, and whether we elected a blank slate who makes it up as he goes. This point is made not just by conservatives (who made this argument prior to the election), but also by Democrats and left-wing activists who openly wonder whether Obama's election promises on terrorist detention, gay rights, and a host of other issues were "just words." The nutroots doesn't know who Barack Obama is anymore than I do, and anything which fills in the void in a negative way is viewed as a threat."

Oh Narcissus, your days are already numbered.

Well, he didn't use a knife and fork - did he ?

ron in kelowna - good observation - but - the spelling is the key here, IMO; change the spelling a bit and you get Diongate and bingo! the owe is linked to a radical left winger in Canada who lost an election, in Canada!

This could be the beginning of the end for Mr. Owe.

Someone's gotta make a you tube video:

A black limo with 2 small American flags mounted on the front fenders stops at an intersection:

The rear door tinted glass slides down and teleprompter screens comes out on each side of it:

Then, "Barry" holding a burger open in both hands shouts (ie: Reads of both sides of tprompter) at the car next to him driven by an African American:

"Eh niga! got some Gray poupon, Bro.

Next you'll see Obamarama and Joe pull up to the local pool hall in the bullet proof limo. Michelle is there too in her $1500 sneakers. MSNBC is there with cameras rolling - the NY Times has a couple of reporters there and they express surprise to see the Pres and VPres just happen to show up.

Oh ya, just some ordinary run of the mill folk out for a good time in the hood.

It appears that the burger thing is a toned down photo opp compared to buzzing buildings in Manhatten. Not quite as much panic when the photo opp is of the TOTUS filling his pie hole.

Did they happen to cut to the front of the line like p-iggie?

"Eh niga! got some Gray poupon, Bro."

When a brotha rolls up on you he ain't lookin for mustard.

"I got more clips than any movie you saw
I pull up on ya like I need some gray poupon
car hot no but I got tha tool on
and you should be my paper if ever tha tool drawn" Lil'Wayne

When you mock others gods this is the result. Obama to many represents the dawn of a new age of enlightenment. He is the Change monger. He lowers the waters , brings tranquility into every Islamic heart. In Obama's mind he has super awesome Community organizer powers.
Even the lovers of children owe him a new status of protection. While the military is scorned. How many Obama's can dance on the head of the MSM? He can run corporations, buzz NYC, dis. all our allies.
Indeed to the Liberal mind this is the closest thing they have to deity.
So mustard is important if you believe your god has a thing for it.

I was once asked, "Do you like Grey Poupon mustard?" And I replied, "I don't even like it on ketchup!"

>"Historic" trip to a burger joint? Is there anything about Obama which is not "historic"?

So this was Zero's first time ordering a burger, eh? If he'd done it before it wouldn't be historic. Unless it has something to do with Zero being Black.

I'm so glad that Zero is clearing the air in regard to race relations in America./

I wonder if he likes watermellon? That would be news for sure.

Check it: It's linked on CTV's main page now. A Canadian press article about 'dijongate' seems to spin it as republicans jumping on Obama for picking an 'un-american' mustard.

not discussed is media bias at MSNBC, and the fact that they were the ones who tried to hide the fact that he ordered dijon mustard because it seemed 'elitist' and 'un-american' and would make him look bad.

So, it's SNAFU - The left does something wrong and the right gets blamed for it.

This is infuriating - we can't get honest reporting to save our lives in this country.

The Lefties just can't leave it alone because down deeeeeeep inside, they know that Barack H. Obama is nothing more than John F-in' Kerry with a tan. Bary is as much of a standard issue American black guy as my Scottish grandmother.

Plus, who the hell goes out for a "just us burly manly men guys" photo op to an American burger joint and orders Dijon? What part of -photo op- did the guy not understand? Its THEATER, you're supposed to follow the script!

Bary can't follow the script. Not without a teleprompter. Lefties are freaking out because their savior dude is an idiot.

I can't believe how many people think the problem is the mustard and not the cover up. Who cares what mustard someone likes? I sure don't, but MSNBC does, and so do enough conservatives to make us look like idiots.

Mustard should be reserved for sausages only - that's why we invented the stuff. If your putting it on a burger, you gotta ask the question - does my mustard choice go with pickles ... Dijon doesn't go with ANY pickle!!!!

Having said that - a proper burger is a mushroom cheese burger ... mustard, quite simply, is not appropriate on a proper burger. I know that several of you asking "what about the pineapple/egg burger" ... OK, mustard has no place on that burger either.

Yep...CTV is deluded and lazy, totally missed the point, as eljay poiny out.
Their rolling 'headline' said "conservatives criticise Obama for choosing mustard."
No surprise.

Obama had a John Kerry moment, it was just a matter of time and there will be many more, and now we have Dijon Derangement Syndrome.

What struck me the most is how out-of-place the President looked in a burger joint. A '10 0z' one at that. Oh the heartburn, heart attack, and humanity of it all. Not his cup of tea fursure.

ural, I disagree.
Mustard is the only essential condiment on a hamburger. In fact, it is the historic German condiment for a ground meat sandwich.

This story isn't about Zero's choice of Dijon mustard being a kerfuffle. It's about seeing the MSMs strings attempting to manipulate us.

Zero was sold to us as a shining example of hope. He was to be the man with the answers. A cut above. In his own words, "He is different."

Now it looks like Zero's policies aren't working.
The superman figure that the MSM crafted is failing to perform super feats with the economy and foreign policy. The MSM knows that portraying Zero as a man of the people will buy him time and patience from the populace.

So the MSM is trying to change Zero's image. They now want us to think he is a populist. Joe America. A man of the people. More ordinary.

So what do they do? They stage a display of Zero and the Sherrif going to a burger joint and ordering burgers just like Joe Sixpack would.

The problem is.... Zero isn't a change after all. He is a elitist just like those he is supposed to be different from and his ordering a burger with DIJON proves how far from Joe Sixpack Zero really is.

That is why this is a story.

Nailed it Oz.

I wonder if he likes watermellon? That would be news for sure.

WTF? What's next, a fried chicken reference?

Seriously, you guys are all f*cking jokes. You are the very definition of self-parody.

anon,
Clinical psychologists say that sociopaths and borderline personalities are unable to recognize sarcasm.

Most of us here are conservatives.
Ken E., like you, reads as a Leftist.
