I Don’t Hate America!

Hat-tip to the Uptake for their video from the White House featuring President Barack Obama grilling ribeye steaks and sweet corn with Food Network’s Bobby Flay.

Following an inquiry from Flay, Obama revealed he likes his steak medium-well.  While Obama has previously dealt with controversy stemming from his decision to order a hamburger at such an unreasonable doneness, this revelation on the White House lawn raises some new questions:

1. Is our president scared of mad-cow disease or some other food borne illness?

2. Were the Founding Fathers, who fought for our freedom, “scared” of mad-cow or other food borne illnesses?

3. Are the troops fighting for democracy in Iraq “scared” of any such illness?

Considering Obama’s cowardice as to order a delicious ribeye steak at a doneness greater than medium-rare, in addition to prior questions about his citizenship status, he should step away from the grill and do the honorable thing: resign.  Ordering a steak medium-well not only shows a lack of patriotism, but is considerably disrespectful to the animal.

If he doesn’t resign, Obama at the very least should commit to not continuing the practice of ruining perfectly good pieces of beef by having them cooked to the consistency of shoe leather.
