Obama has a food taster.

Also half the time that the crazies say OMG HUSSEIN it's because they are trying to say he's an evil SECRET MUSLIM.

Then it seems like other times they are trying to say OMG HUSSEIN because he's like Saddam the dictator, but Saddam was really quite secular. Is he a SECULAR SECRET MUSLIM?

I'm so confused.

No wonder his middle name is Hussein.

What does his middle name have to do with having a food taster?

The big question is how many other Presidents have had a food taster/tester? It wouldn't surprise me if most Presidents had one. To me it's no different than having secret security protection.
 
The thing I don't get about food tasters is, wouldn't you think that it'd be a fairly simple thing to use a poison that had no strong taste you'd pick up on AND took long enough that you can't practically wait around to see what happens to the taster? Your food would get cold.

Haha. I was going to post the same thing.
 
For those who actually care, Presidents have had food tasters at least as far back as Reagan (I could not confirm further). They primarily clean the silverware and plates prior to the meal, taste the newly opened wine, and oversea the preparation of the food the president will eat. They sample the food prior to it going onto the plate.

AFAIK, they never were used when meeting with senators or representatives, only when going out into town and other uncontrolled areas. It takes a special kind of paranoia to think Congress is going to poison you.
 
The best thing about that job is that you're guaranteed to never have more that one bad day at work in a lifetime. If you're lucky, perhaps not even that. 🙂

You: yeah i work for Obama

you: no i err..test his food for poison by eating it first.

her: err..yeah..so how is it going?

you: i'm alive aren't I? and free food rocks!

Of course he has a food taster, anyone that's hated and despised by so many people in his own country had better have a food taster.

It's been the same since he was elected. The ongoing meme of Obama is so elitist/special that he does the same things every other president has done.

Honestly the list of outrages over what every president has done before him is quite sad at this point.
 
Is this not the same thing as the chef doing his job? There is not some guy sitting next to him eating his food then spiting it back out waiting to die before the POTUS digs in.

Probably. But you think a congressional lunch had no oversight?
 
I think it's normal although I would say tuck fhat and eat anyway, that's not some random restaurant.
The easiest solution would be to decentralize and depersonalize power, but then you'd not have a king to hate or love. Not dramatic enough.
