18. Given today's economy, if any idiot cannot express happiness that someone's business has increase, resulting in 25 people landing a job is AN IDIOT AND A HATER. If the president and vice president appearances at casual diners are increasing people's business, then more power to them. Since they are elected by the people and are to represent the people, it only stands to reason that they go and patronize the average citizen's businesses. Unlike Bush, the real elitist.

Who the hell gives a damn what commie Obama eats!!! thats why this country is headed for a big failure, because they are all followers! get a life, He sucks as president, he's a communist and the typicaltax and spend democrat, he sucks! I am an American and I can say these things because they are true, I pride myself on being NOTHING like the typical American, I could care less about material posessions, I'm in shape and I have almost no debt! I hope somebody spits in his next burger!

22. Little does the poor bastard not realize, is that as soon as he starts making more than $250,000 in profit, which according to Obama means he's "rich," in order to balance out the gross increase of taxes he'll have to pay he'll have to fire all his newly hired help and more than likely be forced to close down his second store.

Somehow TMZ failed to state this fact. Imagine that.

24. Wow, from going on fancy vacations using both planes on the tax payers dime, date nights in New York and Broadway, appearing on numerous late night comedy shows, going on ESPN, doing puff interviews for the liberal media "news" shows, throwing tax payer funded party after party nightly in the White House, taking trips to Five Guys, going to sporting events and playing golf, bowling and basketball. How on earth did Saint Obama find the time to use more of our tax payers money to go out to eat at yet another burger joint?

26. If he has that affect on one restauraunt, maybe he should visit as many businesses he can during his occupancy and stimulate the economy that way. I called this story BS.

27. Seriously, I work next to the place, the burgers are AMAZING and the place is always crowded. Everyone thinks this is BS...maybe Obama heard the burgers were good and wanted to try it...of COURSE it's going to attract attention. If the POPE ate there, the same thing would happen!!!

28. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Obama has great taste--Five Guys is the best burger place in the US. Their meat and fries are fresh and delicious. People aren't sheep--they just trust Obama.

30. It takes a numbskull to patronize a reataurant just because a celebrity has been there. Barack Obama is just a guy who came from no nowhere. He is a socialist who is going to ruin this country. When it comes to Obama, Adolph Hitler may as well have been sitting at the table, as far as I am concerned. Look at the site if the National Black Republicans Association. The website is www.nationalblackrepublicans.com. This organization of African Americans never wanted Obama for President. Martin Luther King was a republican who did not believe in the socialism that Barack believes in.
