Obama joins Republicans for lunch, doesn't get to eat food

President Obama joined the Senate Republicans for lunch on Thursday — he just couldn't eat the food.

"He looked longingly at it," Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who organized the menu, told reporters afterward.

"Apparently he has to have essentially a taster, and I pointed out to him that we were all tasters for it — that if the food had been poisoned all of us would have keeled over."

Collins arranged for food from her home state to be served: University of Maine lobster salad, Fox Family potato chips, and Wild Maine blueberry pie.

"How can you go wrong with a University of Maine recipe for healthy lobster salad?," she said. "I pointed that out to the president in keeping with the first lady’s initiatives."

1. And it's so hard to ask him why he isn't eating.

It's easier to speculate.

2. I also would question anyone that served Fox Family chips

3. That was my first thought.

4. Is this for real?

That's kinda dumb--he really has to have a taster?

5. I'm actually not sure what to make of this--coming from Susan Collins, no less.

Is she joking? Or does the President actually have a food taster, or was he not hungry, or... I dunno.
