After having headed to Virginia yesterday with Vice President Biden to Ray’s Hell Burger, President Obama — or at least one of his lunch companions — had burgers on the brain for a second straight day.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who had lunch with Obama and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) this afternoon, relayed the following tweet after leaving the White House:
Just had a hamburger w obama at WH. Hour lunch discussing health care reform and four Ag/EPA issues
There’s no immediate indication what President Obama had for lunch, but the first 100+ days of the Obama administration have shown burgers seem to be the du jour menu item for power lunches.
