Joe Biden Goes Out for Burgers!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

Joe and Barack went out to a local burger place in Arlington VA. The people there look to be really enjoying it :D




"ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - It's like this: When you want a burger, you have to have a burger. In this state of mind, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden took a short _ but wholly noticeable _ motorcade ride from the White House to Virginia and pulled into a small, independent burger joint called Ray's Hell Burger.

The two leaders went right up to the counter where the meat was being grilled and ordered.

Each fetched cash from his pocket and paid, and then the pair stood like the rest and waited for their number to be called before going to a table.

The restaurant, which prides itself on premium aged 10-ounce burgers, sits in a small strip plaza. The burgers sell for $6.95."

5. So Joe likes his food spicy? LOL

Somehow that makes me laugh. My husband likes jalapenos on everything, especially when I make nachos. Me, I cannot take one bite of them without having to down a full glass of water.

4. other than being a little well-dressed for a burger joint, real folks!

I love that each paid himself with cash - I bet that bit of normalcy was nice - moving change instead of billions!
