Obama Orders a Cheeseburger

Many of you have probably heard about president Obama ordering a cheeseburger at a local restaurant in Virginia. The footage, seen on YouTube, shows him and Joe Biden ordering burgers, declining the special treatment of free burgers. Media outlets rushed to air this on their networks and it became headline news for the day.

My question is: why does anyone care? A man has got to eat.

I know this is a bit hypocritical of me, I just want to know your opinions on this.

Here is a rather funny clip of Fox News turning this into something negative. You'll probably get a laugh out of it.

solely for entertainment purposes. though there is more important news out there, as the most obese country in the world we care more about someone eating a buger than any other matter that doesnt concern us. but since we all eat burgers we can relate thus we would sit there and watch the president eat, as if he were some sort of performer. solely for entertainment purposes. what a country, when people are entetrtained by a man eating a burger at a local diner.

Everyone has to eat, even the president. But I do not feel like it should be reported like it is breaking news. Americans eat hamburgers everyday. Just because someone with a camera seen the president and vice president it became "news". Give me a break, next!

I believe certain news stations is waiting for simple things like this to point out. It has no point to the world i really don't understand why was it even talked about on the news. A lot of people are interested with the president. The media is just asking for attention and of course people around the world gives it to them.
