Hey, take a look at this! It's President Obama's afternoon snack. What do we spot? Butterfly crackers, cheese, carrots, and is that a slice of pear? This photo is from a meeting with President Obama's press secretary Robert Gibbs. Apparently they had a snack together. What a simple snack! We must say that the presentation takes it a step up above preschool, although we did wonder if mats and naptime were next? (via The Kitchn)




One needs five pieces of silverware for an afternoon snack? Maybe that's where I've been going wrong all these years - I've only been using four.

yes, Blandwagon brings up a point there. It is a snack and not luncheon. Should there be a service plate at snackies?

I think the White House staff follows protocol when setting the table, be it for dinner or snackies.

Why a press secretary takes pictures of a presidential snack is beyond me. Who cares?

I love that he's a normal dude.

What I love about my life is that I can eat like the president... and not have to be bothered with running the country afterward.

It's the White House - You'd prefer that our President eat off paper plates?
And what's up w/ the snarky comment about mats and naptime - Have you seen how grey he's gotten over the past 3 months? You don't age like that from taking afternoon naps (unlike like ol Ronnie - who delegated nearly everything, took naps and never seemed to age...)

How is he supposed to run the country on such a small amount of food (even for a snack)? I hope he has a bag of cookies in his desk.

as though Gibbs isn't already a big enough idiot...way to capture it on film.

The same kind of afternoon snack on my paper towel just don't look the same.
