Obama's Buns Stimulate Burger Business

Barack Obama holds the power to stimulate the economy with the tip of his tongue -- and in the case of a burger joint in Virginia, his tongue literally quadrupled their business!!!

Ray's Hell Burger: Click to watch
After B.O. and Joe Biden rolled through Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, VA back in May, people began lining up down the block to get a taste of a burger fit for a Prez. .

According to the burger joint's owner -- business shot up so much they were able to hire 25 new staff members and even open a satellite restaurant three doors down for the overflow!

Check out that burger -- Obama clearly has good taste.

46. Hey, Americans have become Sheeple. Whatever that idiot Hussein Obama does, you sheeple do the same thing.
This burger guy, in a month or so will be forced to lay off all these people, because the pop culture mentality will have moved onto something else.

47. Hey whattever,

Had Bush abused the office even a fraction as much as Obama has during his short 5 months in, you would have blown your asshole out from being so angry. He's not using his own money on anything you dumbass. You work for the government? Yeah, maybe in the sanitaction department. The fact is, this nation is experiencing some of the worst economic times in decades, and we have a dumbass in the White House who is more concerned with going on vacations, out to eat, dates, and appearing on late night comedy shows instead of doing his actual job!!! Get a clue and STFU!!!!

48. Hey, those burgers looked really good on the White House special. They need to open a burger joint in Seattle!
Has anyone tasted them? Are they good?

49. Tammy, I cannot make absolute statements, such as the guy w/ make 250,000 and ends of bankrupt and having to close his store and laid off his workers. WTH? That's a little to eccentric for me. First of all, how do you know he doesn't already makes $250,000. You see how this can go on? Therefore, I chose to stick w/ the facts: local guys does well because the president and vice president visited his place of business; subsequently, business improved and 25 people are employed. Now, let's address the cursing, slander, Sarah Palin, and Prejean. What the hell are you talking about!!!!!!!!?? How did they get into this? I have not cursed, slander or made any comments (nor do I have one ) toward Prejean. I know you believe yourself to be above average in intelligent, but have you considered that several people use the same name. Look, it has been real (cross that out), it has been a headache communicating w/ you. Whatever.

50. What, not even sure where to begin here. Were you drunk during your last response? Just curious. Anyway, most privately owned, small family establishments such as little burger, sandwhich shops aren't exactly raking in the big cash. Most do well to break even with cost of overhead and what not. I'm going out on a limb and assuming he's not rich, which in Obama world is anything above $250,000. I make this assumption because there is story, after story after story of Americans that own similar type resturants that have been forced to layoff half their help in order to break even with Obama's ridiculous, socialist "tax the wealthy even though they're really not wealthy" bs. And judging from the fact at how excited he is to have business, I'm pretty confident he hasn't exactly been turning a profit very often. He'll have to shut down his other store and fire half his employees within the next 6 months. Of course TMZ won't do a follow-up on that when the day comes.

51. OR Tammy "oh predictor of the future" - he will do very well in six months, franchise his burger joints, and you will have to think of a new horrible outcome for every possibility. It takes all kinds on these sites.

52. When it comes to burgers in DC, there are but three choices:

Rays in Arlington, favored by Barack and Biden,

Good Stuff on Capitol Hill, owned by Spike, favored by Mrs. Obama,

Five Guys (locations everywhere) favored by everyone.

The best part is that all three are different enough that you can rotate among them and not get bored. Plus, Five Guys loads you up with fries, Good Stuff puts thyme on their fries, and Rays has tater tots instead of fries.

DC...burger heaven!

53. Wow, the ignorance of the left knows no bounds. Do you people not realize that burger joint owners like this guy have no future in Obama's Socialist economy? He detest capitalism!!! Tammy is absolutely right. As soon as this guy thinks he's making some revenue he's going to get that letter in the mail telling him to pay more taxes since he's now "rich." He will have to lay off workers to make the ends meet. Capitalism is on Obama's hit list. Anyone that bothered to pay attention during the campaign would realize this.

54. 51. Hey Glambert and you other whiners- I'm a government employee so your tax dollars also pay for my burgers, nights out, hockey tickets, rent, toilet paper, etc. So the F what?!
The man does earn a salary, he can whatever he damn well pleases with it. Besides, what theatre isn't going to comp his tickets and what restaurant is going to charge the President for his dinner? The fact that he does pay WITH HIS MONEY and tip generously is wonderful, good for him and the waitstaff. And what, do you think if he wants to take his wife to a Broadway play he's going to board the DC-NY bus like the rest of us? Get real. Part of being President means the highest security so of course he's going to use the plane and motorcade that is meant for his use, it's a perk of being President. They've all used it. Get over it.

WHATEVER, thank you for being the only sane, reasonable poster here. Most of the people who come here with their hatrful and poorly spelled rants hopefully do not reflect the majority of our population. TMZ is hardly a think tank for the MENSA group. Celeb gossip - yes. Policical commentary - absolutely not!

55. Tammy, you were wondering if I had been drinking. You still haven't explained the cursing, slander, Sara Palin and Prejean comment and how they fit into the subject. Perhaps, you are the one hitting the "Special Tea." Regarding the business man, no I want wonder into the land of "what if" with you.

56. i had been to ray's before obama and i will keep going! the burgers are amazing and even though business has increased, the staff are more efficient and the wait isn't bad at all.

57. Hey TMZ, be sure to reinterview this guy after his next quarterly report when he realizes he's now considered rich and will have to cut his newly hired staff loose and close his other building all because he has to break even on the ridiculous amount of taxes he'll have to start paying.

HOPE AND CHANGE PEOPLE!!! HOPE AND CHANGE!!!!

59. As soon as Obama's economic killing policies start taking effect this idiot is going to find himself forced to fire his entire staff and working solo. Hate to say it, but if he voted for Obama, he deserves it.
