Obama's a Good Tipper
Edited on Tue May-05-09 11:40 PM by Stephanie
Of course he is.
Look how much BETTER he eats lunch than Bush*!!! (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5601049&mesg_id=5601049)
How funny...the Messiah eats a burger, and suddenly he's Charlie Sixpack. It wasn't that long ago that the DUmmies were gloating over how much higher-brow Obama's tastes were, and now Obama's just an average Joe, sittin' down to a burger (of course, get too close and his agents will ventilate you).
Can DU just enjoy pics of their guy being a regular guy? No:

19. The difference is, THIS President has been acting like a responsible leader. Remember Bush?
He was the king of empty pointless snotty self-important photo-ops.
The photo ops are damn well deserved, and I enjoy reading these posts too.
Hell, I try to tip as much as I can too - President Obama is setting an example.
I can understand your cynicism; the way the media and many politicians camping up the whole notion of having a leader to look up to instead of mocking... that's quite a novel experience for me too.

29. Bush would have dropped in two quarters...
And would have made a big deal out of leaving so much.

34. Imagine Bush/Cheney doing this. Go ahead. Just try to imagine it.
You can't.
Which brings to mind a new joke: HOW MANY DEMOCRATS DOES IT TAKE TO EAT LUNCH?
ANSWER: 4901. One to eat the lunch, and 4900 DUmmies to gloat over how much better he did it than Bush*.

Have they so quickly forgotten about Scare Farce One dive bombing NYC?

Meanwhile I'm sure Obama's goons didn't close the entire place down, and I'm sure his motorcade created no traffic problems, and I'm sure no one was inconvenienced at all while the Messiah created this photo op.
Hey, DUmmies...you know what Obama DID do much better than Bush? He made sure someone was there to watch him put money in the tip jar. Something that tens of millions of Americans do every single day, your Dear Leader has to have someone photograph. What a pathetic sack of opportunistic shit he is. Look at me, I'm Barack Obama, tipping for goods and services rendered.

Barry's administration buzzed NYC in a 747 being trailed by an Air Force fighter and and didn't tell anyone about it. You can't get a more empty pointless snotty self-important photo-op than that.

How nice, Obama finds the time to throw a buck in a tip jar, meanwhile he's bombing innocent civilians in Afghanistan. :whatever:

Actually, Deja-Poo, I remember the Libtards raising hell about Bush NOT shoving his face into the "public eye" every 30 sec, unlike how our Celebutard Holiness does now.

I would love to look and see what the difference in charitable donations are between President Bush and the lowly zero, if I recall correctly the zero was and is a very stingy giver.

I dunno, he seems to be giving much of our money away to his voting bloc.

Of course he is.
You can be a good tipper when you use taxpayer's money.

No table for Bush, but:
Bush and Cheney Disclose Details of Their 2007 Charitable Giving
By Grant Williams
Washington (http://philanthropy.com/news/updates/4378/bush-and-cheyney-disclose-details-of-their-2007-charitable-giving)
President Bush and Vice President Cheney and their wives have released information about their contributions to charities last year.
The White House said that Mr. Bush and the first lady, Laura Bush, gave $165,660 to churches and charitable organizations, a figure that represents nearly 18 percent of their total income of $936,111.
The organizations that received gifts from President and Mrs. Bush included the Crawford Volunteer Fire Department, in their Texas hometown; the Malaria No More Fund, which works in Africa and has been supported by Mrs. Bush; Martha’s Table, a soup kitchen in Washington; Susan G. Komen for the Cure (formerly known as the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation); and St. John’s Church, an Episcopal parish near the White House.
The White House did not say how much money the Bushes contributed to specific organizations.
Laura Bush, according to the White House, donated all net proceeds from a $150,000 advance she received for a children’s book she has written with her daughter, Jenna Bush. That money went to Teach for America, a nonprofit group that provides recent college graduates with opportunities to teach at schools in poor neighborhoods, and to the New Teacher’s Project.
Vice President Cheney and his wife, Lynne Cheney, said they contributed $166,547 to charity in 2007, which represented 5.5 percent of their total income of $3.05-million. The Cheneys did not identify the organizations that received their gifts.
The Cheneys said that their total contributions to charitable organizations during the years Mr. Cheney has served as vice president totaled $7.96-million.

No table for Bush, but:
2004 was 0Bama's last year as an obscure senator from Illinois, as his name grew in the national spotlight, so did his donations.
I still think he is the perfect Manchurian Candidate.
