Barack Obama on “Check, Please!” in August 2001.

Future leader of the free world:

“I’m not looking for some fancy presentation or, you know, extraordinarily subtle flavors. I mean, what I’m looking for is food that tastes good for a good price.”

That’s having your finger on the pulse of America.
