Former President Barack Obama made a quick trip to Omaha on Sunday afternoon and had lunch with Warren and Susie Buffett at the Happy Hollow Club.

A small private plane carrying Obama landed about 12:30 p.m. at Eppley Airfield after leaving Washington, D.C., late Sunday morning. Obama's motorcade left Eppley shortly afterward.

Susie Buffett said she, her father and Obama spent about 2½ hours having an informal lunch in a private room at Happy Hollow, where her father is a member.

She and her father had Thunderbird salads, and Obama had a taco salad. Her father picked up the bill.

1. So now he's flying around mooching off of rich people?

Seriously, I wonder if he is fundraising for his foundation. Hoping he has great things planned. I'd like to see him spearhead some kind of "underground railroad" that will help people get the ids they will need to vote under the facists

[ehrnst]

4. But if you are seen with these uber wealthy, that means you are corporate scum!!!

Oh NOES!!! First the $90 million book deal, now this.

HRC was vilified for being so wealthy. Too bad that Obama is going to face the same treatment from 'true progressives..."

2. Sending another message to Obama: HELPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I'm glad he's enjoying his new life. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when the Obamas are drinking coffee around the kitchen table in the morning following a Trump twitter eruption.

3. Hopefully plotting how to win back the congress in 2018.

5. Mister President... PLEASE stay off small aircraft. Please. n/t

6. Glad he's not sitting around watching TV or painting

[not fooled]

12. His conscience is clear

Obama steered the ship of state more than competently and kept this nation on a safe, sane and constructive course for 8 years.

He doesn't have to hide out and engage in distracting hobbies to try to forget like chimpy, the previous eff-up puke presidunce.

7. Probably raising $ for his library and I hope also for the project he

is working with Holder on to build our party by tackling the gerrymandering fights.

Plus I think they are real friends. Bet it drives Dumpsters nuts. All the better.

8. I don't care if he's going to play basketball, I love seeing pics of him..n/t

9. We're supposed to be happy about this? NT

14. hear, hear

[Tarheel_Dem]

16. You don't even know why he was there. Why the hell would that make you unhappy?

[NBachers]

17. Obligatory gratuitous desultory comment critical of Obama's behavior; sullen rhetorical question.

11. Lunch folks, that's all

Seriously, let him eat. Even SuperObama has to eat. Are we reduced to trying to read tea leaves of lunch w/ anyone? Too funny.

15. I hope they were talking about the Medical Health Insurance Co. they are going to set up in

response to the greedy corporate insurance companies we have now that are working to destroy the ACA.

i can dream can't I?
