Do y'all eat Popeye's chicken for breakfast?

[ecstatic]

Obama's only blunder this week, IMO.

:spank:

Of course, I need to see the full video in context to be sure.

"Y'all have Popeyes out in Beaumont? I know some of y'all you got that cold Popeyes out for breakfast. I know. That's why y'all laughing. ... You can't do that. Children have to have proper nutrition. That affects also how they study, how they learn in school."

1. Is 2 A.M. considered late dinner or breakfast?...........n/t

[tokenlib]

2. Blunder? If he'd added cold pizza it would have been awesome...

He was right on target.. Sounded "in touch" and very responsive...connecting with his audience. Barack and the audience were feeding off one another..he was on a roll.

[sandnsea]

9. cold pizza, guilty

I don't think I've ever done cold chicken for breakfast though. And I have to say, between pizza and a pop tart, I think pizza would be the better choice.

15. True... the mention of Popeye's

came across to me as patronizing. However, you're right-- if he broadened it up to include pizza, etc. then he has a good point.

27. I actually don't think cold pizza is a terrible choice, depends what kind and what's on it

I can't usually stomach regular breakfast foods like eggs or pancakes at any time of the day. Cold pizza if it's made with real ingredients and has some veggies on it in particular wouldn't be too bad.

Even if it's crappy delivery Pizza, Popeyes Chicken still has got to be some of the most unhealthy food there is.

31. Cold Pizza Breakfast eater here...

even in my old age *sigh*

[BootinUp]

3. Only if its straight out of the fridge. nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. OK now I want my vote back dammit. n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. Oh, I've had those mornings.

Cold chicken. Warm beer. And whatever's left in the bowl of my pipe.

Wake n' bake, baby.

[hiaasenrocks]

6. Yeah, you need to see the video and hear the faux accent.

Pathetic.

[TheDonkey]

12. He was just having fun

not like he was seriously trying to give his entire speech in that accent like Hillary tries to do with her "Ya'll let's get up" shtick.

[Window]

20. You hit the nail on the head.

I like that he has a sense of humor.

[hiaasenrocks]

37. And in such a dignified manner.

That clown is not presidential material.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. Interesting

I'm trying to imagine what would happen if another candidate had said something like this.

[Maddy McCall]

17. I can tell you! "YOU ARE A RACIST!!!"

[1awake]

30. Im not sure,

but to be fair.. it most likely would have involved alot of screaming and crying... just sayin

[grantcart]

32. I think it would be a disaster if any other candidate tried it

HRC
Romney
McCain
Thompson

Its not sexist if most politicians are lousy in delivering funny lines. Actually Huckabee was pretty good - especially for his demographic.

[rucky]

8. Oh, HELL YEAH

It's better cold the next day.

[TheDonkey]

10. He was having fun and talking with the audience, getting kind of carried away

which can be easy in that sort of atmosphere but what he said was 100% true and the audience most likely listened and learned from what he had to say.

YOU SHOULD NOT EAT FAST FOOD FOR BREAKFAST!!! Especially when you where eating it all during the previous day. Real nutrition and healthcare starts at home. JFK would have said that.

Obama made it more local and personal for the crowd and they loved it. He felt very comfortable and was not "faking" it like Tucker said. I do not like when he gets that faux drawl either but this time he was just having fun while delivering an important message. We all do it, well that is if you are a good communicator.

[theboss]

11. My co-worker from the Bronx loves it when Obama talks about "Cousin Pookie"

Every once in a while, she will tell me "See...that's how I know he really is black." (She's black by the way; I'm not).

He knows what he's doing on the campaign trail, that fella.

[Drunken Irishman]

13. We don't have Popeye's in Utah, but I've had KFC for breakfast.

:D

[Bucky]

14. Damn, Obama. He keeps calling me out on my shit.

I was hungry! Was I supposed to cook a full meal and be late to work or something?

[Thepricebreaker]

16. I wish we had one close to me in NJ....

[sniffa]

18. I have to go with never

though, that's only because there's no Popeye's left by morning.

MMMM, MMMM, LOVE THAT CHICKEN. :9

[npincus]

19. yeah, he laid it on pretty thick.

live and learn.

[BootinUp]

21. What about cake? Its got eggs, milk, wheat!?

[theboss]

22. Dad is great!

Gives us the chocolate cake!

[BootinUp]

25. yeah, credit to the Cos. lol.

[Honeycombe8]

23. I love Popeye's, but not for breakfast. nt

[Alhena]

24. I name this scandal "Chickengate"

[matcom]

26. ONLY when I have to answer the phone at 3:00 AM!

I get hungry during 3:00 am crisis!

[Tesha]

28. If there was a Popeye's within 100 miles of us, yes, we would.

But the nearest Popeye's is up in a rest area on
the Maine Turnpike and the next nearest may be
Troy, NY.

[DBoon]

29. No but I've had chicken and waffles for breakfast

[TwilightGardener]

33. Popeye's is damn expensive, for a fast food chicken n biscuits place.

[JVS]

34. Sounds good.

[cloudbase]

35. I have.

I've had the leftover stuff for breakfast on numerous occasions. In addition, in terminal C of IAH there's a Popeye's that serves up a chicken biscuit for breakfast.

I don't feel a damned bit guilty about it, either.

[loveangelc]

36. Popeye's is soooooooooo good. I'd get fat if there were one close to my house lol.

[shayes51]

38. Glad he's talking about important stuff.

[Raine]

39. I'm a vegetarian so I never eat it

but I love Obama! :-)
