Your hard-on for the statist is cute... but not surprising.
Obama seems like a fun dude though... just a **** president
Anthony Bourdain treats Obama to $6 meal
Big spender Anthony Bourdain treated President Obama to a $6 dinner-for-two at a tiny restaurant in Vietnam on Monday.
“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer,” the “Parts Unknown” host tweeted, alongside a photo of the two talking over a table in Hanoi eatery Bún chả Hương Liên.
The snap showed the Leader of the Free World leaning in during their tete-a-tete.
Bourdain bragged about the cheap eats, adding, “Total cost of bun Cha dinner with the President: $6.00. I picked up the check. #Hanoi”
A spokeswoman for the CNN show said the pair chowed down on a bowl of pho, the traditional Vietnamese noodle soup served with sauces on the side, along with a plate of greens, two appetizers and a Hanoi brew for each of them.

Stuff like this makes me think Trump is going to be the next president. Hilariously bad political theater, yet that's what the people want.
thank you weso1!

As a lobbyist in Minnesota, I would have violated the law by paying for a $6 meal. The limit is $5 for us.

Trump suggests Clintons maybe murdered Vince Foster.
Hillary notes Trump would ban Muslims/deport millions.
Both sides fight so dirty!

Much more needs to be taken away from the Vietnam story than President Obama eating lunch with Anthony Bourdain. There are important lessons that must not be overlooked. Much like modern-day interventions in the Middle East, the U.S. had no business getting involved in Vietnam's civil war. The U.S. is now playing nice with the Communist regime that rules Vietnam. That could have been done without the death of 58,000 Americans. If we're able to peacefully coexist now with the Communists that killed those Americans, we could have done so back then without all the suffering and horror. The lessons of Vietnam need to be understood and applied to today. The actors may be different, but the story is very much the same.

Applauding this trip, in the context of any actually meaningful global diplomatic agenda, is perhaps the perfect example of American ignorance as it pertains to international affairs. Setting aside for a moment the glaring fact that Obama's Asian adventure is taking place in the waning months of his presidency (read: too little too late) it is also generally without substance. In Vietnam, like in Cuba, he has chosen to sidle up close to a government which has an international reputation for human rights abuses. Where's the wagging finger, where's the demand for change? Barry's too busy slurping down $2 pho (which we all chortle at, but willfully ignore what it's actually a product of) to be bothered with any semblance of real diplomacy.
