Despots have to be very careful...
WASHINGTON
— Following President Obama’s lunch meeting with Senate Republicans on
Capitol Hill, Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins described the food
served and the president’s reaction to what was on menu.
“University of Maine recipe for healthy lobster salad — I pointed
that out to the president in keeping with the first lady’s initiatives
and Fox Family Potato Chips made in Aroostook County where I’m from and
wild blueberry pie full of anti-oxidants, see this was a healthy lunch
as well. We did have a little ice cream on the pie too, also made in
Maine, Gifford’s Ice Cream. So in all seriousness this was well
received,” Collins told reporters on Thursday after the meeting at the
Capitol.
“Unfortunately, you know, the president can’t,” said Collins when asked if Obama ate at the lunch meeting.
“He looked longingly at it,” Collins continued. “He honestly did look
longingly at it, but apparently he has to have essentially a taster,
and I pointed out to him that we were all tasters for him, that if the
food had been poisoned all of us would have keeled over so, but he did
look longingly at it and he remarked that we have far better food than
the Democrats do, and I said that was because I was hosting.”
