Obama Caught in Awkward Exchange with Citizen


It's a little hokey in the first place that Obama makes a big deal out of getting a hamburger at a local joint frequently these days. As if we're supposed to believe he is some regular Joe Shmo/everyman or something....

This exchange with a local defense official who happened to too, be getting a hamburger, made it downright awkward....

Should we be worried?

There are 1.8 MILLION employees of the federal government with thousands of agencies.

In my company there are about 4000 employees.

I've been working at my company twice as long as the commander in chief and can accurately say I know about 10% of my company and what they do.

I've met the CEO of my company 3 months ago. He was reciently appointed after being the company's President for 4 years and I had to educate him on my department and career contributions to the organization.

Did I expect him to know this upon meeting him?

No. The CEO should not be concerned with the day to day, which is why he has people managing this below him.

The American public should not expect Obama to know every agency and employee tied to the gov, even after his first term!

Re: the Hamburger thing. Five Guys? Five Guys? What a slop-shop to pick for a "local" hamburger. It's a chain!

What about Shake Shack, Burger Joint, Island Burgers, Corner Bistro (although they are falling out of favor for me), Spotted Pig, Rare Bar and Grill, Peter Luger, or Landmarc???

Yes someone does need to educate the man.
