Question of the Day: Does Barack Obama eat Bacon?

By Rocco "Boss Hog" Loosbrock

Recently, I wrote an article about Hillary Clinton's appearance on David Letterman's show where she spoke of her love for bacon. Well since then, I have received several requests inquiring about Barack Obama and whether or not he eats meat or if he is a vegetarian.

Well that got my curiosity going. I started searching the Internet and I searched and I searched and I searched. I was nearly convinced that he was a vegetarian as I was finding out tons of information about other politicians eating prime steak, bacon, ham, the full line of delicious meat products.

When I was nearly ready to give up is when I came across a video clip from CBS that showed New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg having breakfast with Barack Obama in Manhattan at a place called the New York Luncheonette on Friday, November 30, 2007.

At last I found it, Barack ordered bacon and eggs!
