When his wife unveiled the USDA’s new nutritional plate yesterday, there definitely wasn’t a space for chili dogs. But that didn’t stop Barack Obama wolfing down two in Toledo today – with fries and an extra bowl of chili on the side. The president happily munched on the unhealthy meal before he visited the city’s Chrysler factory, and even teased one of his hosts for ordering ketchup, a faux-pas in his home town of Chicago.
According to USA Today, he told representative Marcy Kaptur: ‘Marcy just wants ketchup. By the way, as an aficionado of hot dogs, you shouldn’t put ketchup on hot dogs… I’m trying to teach my girls.’ Those culinary lessons would hardly go down well with his wife, Michelle, who has spent this year touring the country on a crusade against childhood obesity.
Yesterday she unveiled the USDA’s new healthy-eating guide, which replaces the famous ‘My Pyramid’ with a plate divided into four nutritional quadrants: fruits, vegetables, grains and proteins. But as her husband chowed down at the famous Rudy’s Hot Dog with Toledo’s mayor, the only sign of ‘vegetables’ appeared to be some fried onions.
He ordered the house speciality chili dog, which comes with mustard, onion, chili sauce and cheese, and topped it up with a bowl of chili and a portion of fries on the side.
As he entered the restaurant, which claims to sell 8,000 dogs a week, he told the restaurant owners: ‘These guys, whatever they want; I’m buying.’
And he teased one of the cooks, USA Today reports, telling the owners: ‘She says she’s worked here 30 years. That means she was under-age when you hired her.’

Who cares? Why was this newsworthy again?
Yeshiva World, this is beneath you.
Are you trying to say Obama is a hypocrite? We know that already. You don’t have to stoop to the level of paparazzi, following the President’s every move.
I generally enjoy this site, but this doesn’t suit you.
Thank you.
I think that some of your readers need to eat some “chill”i dogs of their own…… 😉
Reassurance that:
1) Michelle is NOT usurping control of the government
2) the President is a relatively normal red-blooded American, who apparently can escape from being hen pecked
If such news bothers you, skip over it and dont read it. no one’s making you do anything. some of us get a kick out of reading this.
B Hussein is nothing but a fraud, so too his First Fist-Bump.

If a man eats a chili dog it’s a sign of escaping from being henpecked by his wife? Boy, do you have a negative outlook on marriage. First, proper wives don’t henpeck and second, there are other possible explanations for eating chilidogs besides blaming it on a wife’s negative character traits. Much as I hate for anyone to think I’m defending the Great Fraud, don’t launder your dirty clothes in public.
This is very simple and typical of the socialist liberal elite. They make rules for the peasants like you and me but they are too chashuv, too super, to have to do the same thing.
DEFEAT LIBERALISM!!
