A few weeks ago, Obama made a comment about the price of arugula at the Whole Foods Market to a group of farmers in Independence, Iowa. Yes, I said Iowa. How dare Obama be elitist enough to think farmers would know what arugula is. Only latte drinking health nut liberals like Obama and Hollywood types know what arugula is. Farmers are lucky if they can put their overalls on in the morning without assistance.

Once again, Obama is acting like he’s better than everyone. Never mind that:

“In fact, arugula is grown by local farms in Iowa and is widely available in stores throughout the state, including Cleverly Farms in Mingo, Iowa, and Mariposa Farms in Grinnell, Iowa. Moreover, vendors at numerous farmers markets, including the Davenport Farmer’s Market and the Ames Farmers’ Market, sell arugula directly from farms to consumers. Several Iowa grocery stores also carry arugula; the website of Hy-Vee, a large grocery chain headquartered in, and with four stores in, West Des Moines, Iowa — approximately 22 miles from Adel, Iowa, where Obama made his arugula remark — offers tips on cleaning and serving arugula, as well as several recipes featuring it.”

Okay, who cares if arugula is grown and widely available in Iowa and that some of those farmers may grow it. That doesn’t change the fact that Obama is an elitist for merely mentioning it. He should talk about good old American food. Something with a ton of preservatives and no nutritional value. Like Twinkies. If Obama talked about the price of Twinkies he’d be slightly less of an elitist. Although, knowing him, he’d dip them in caviare just to make them edible.

On the other hand, McCain knows what Americans like to eat. Preservative laden American cheese! And he made sure to do an interview in front of American’s favorite cheese just to prove how much he likes it.

It doesn’t matter than McCain’s wife is a bizzillionair and that at his 68th birthday party he served “lobster salad, loin of lamb, assorted wines, creme brulee, lemon souffle and French tarts.” That proves nothing! I bet every single one of those were filled with American cheese.

For all of the swing voters out there I hope this seals it. No one wants a fruity arugula eating president with regular bowel movements when we can have a constipated old man who loves American cheese like he loves Bush. When you stick to the important issues, the choice is clear.
