Bush’s ‘healthy’ eating at Camp David.
By on Jul 31st, 2007 at 12:21 pm
Bush’s ‘healthy’ eating at Camp David.
The DC Examiner notes that the menu for the Camp David meeting between President Bush and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown was “not so heart-healthy.” Yesterday’s lunch included: “Cheeseburgers, French fries, onion rings and banana pudding.” That meal followed Sunday night’s dinner, which included “roast beef, mashed potatoes, peas with smoked bacon, and brownies with caramel and vanilla sauce.”
Bush has repeatedly touted healthy eating habits, stating that “a health care plan that makes a lot of sense” is to “exercise on a regular basis, and to eat good foods.”

Hello jelly-brained moonbat, Hugo Chavez has a message for you…
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=97b_1185874568
July 31st, 2007 at 12:23 pmNo pretzels?
July 31st, 2007 at 12:23 pmBush may want to start scheduling monthly high-colonics!
July 31st, 2007 at 12:24 pmI could care if he ate cheeseburgers like Tic Tacs and Onion Rings like Pez.
He could pop them down all day for all I care.
As long as it keeps him from blowing sh$t up.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:24 pmmaybe he’ll take up smoking.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:25 pmwe can only hope.
Yeah…uhhh…TP, who cares? There is so much other news out there, and you want to discuss Bush’s diet?? How about his Middle East arms deal?? I don’t care what Bush eats. I care about him arming the insurgents that are killing our troops in Iraq. I care about him giving weaponry to the same people that attacked us on 9/11. I care about him arming the primary financiers of Al-Qaeda. I couldn’t care less if he ate Dick Cheney’s heart.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:26 pmLame item, TP. Slow day? Those foods aren’t necessarily unhealthy, unless you eat them all the time. Bush appears to be quite fit for his age.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:26 pmHow much alcohol was consumed?
July 31st, 2007 at 12:26 pmThis is a pretty dumb story. I guess I could understand it if it were a patterned behavior, but there doesn’t seem to be any indication here.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:28 pmWhy can’t a guy just enjoy a good burger once in a while?
Lame item, plenty to get on Bush’s case about, but his eating habits aren’t one of them. Lord knows Clinton loved a good barbecue.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:28 pmI hope Chimpy eats like this everyday. Who the f*ck really cares!
July 31st, 2007 at 12:28 pmQuick…invite Cheney over for all these meals and tell him to DIG IN.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:28 pmRevolutionary Chairman Bartlebee,
July 31st, 2007 at 12:29 pmBush is eating Hot Dogs and Burgers.
These are Reactionary Counter-Revolutionary foods.
What can we do to stop this?
We await your commands great one!
Somebody please wake me when we get to Specter’s Tuesday afternoon “bombshell” please.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:29 pm“banana pudding”
otherwise known as Bush brains
July 31st, 2007 at 12:30 pmOnion rings? Don’t these represent the vagina?
July 31st, 2007 at 12:30 pmThis is possibly the stupidest post on here ever.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:30 pm“banana pudding”
- sure hope Jeff Gannon wasn’t cooking

July 31st, 2007 at 12:32 pmFrench Fries, French Fries!!!! Are you kidding me? What is wrong with this administration? They’re supposed to be called “Freedom Fries” I knew their culinary practices failed to meet their rhetoric.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:32 pmHey what about Pork Rhinds and Hamburger-Helper Dubya?
July 31st, 2007 at 12:32 pmHave you been bought out by Murdoch too?
July 31st, 2007 at 12:32 pmYes, TP, but the President does exercise on a regular basis.
And can you prove that he dines on junk food regularly? No health problems of note, either, for a 60-year-old man.

Honestly, who gives a f*ck.
(apart from Ann Althouse who has a lesbian fetish for onion rings – thank you SKdeA for that reminder…)
July 31st, 2007 at 12:35 pmHealthy eating? Check out this Obesity Map
It’s fricken creepy.
Also, are you supposed to pluralize food to foods like that?

July 31st, 2007 at 12:37 pmDo we really want to stop GW eating that sort of thing?
July 31st, 2007 at 12:38 pmOnly terrorists need fiber.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:38 pmNot only does the pres eat unhealthy chow, but he has also been seen walking around barefooted…doesnt he know that proper arch-support is the third rail of American politics?
This is worthy of an entire thread? Bush served some all-American food to his British guest? My GOD, the universe is collapsing.
I believe we should have a solidarity march in defense of proper nutrition, who wants to make the signs?
July 31st, 2007 at 12:38 pmAll that food is better than any of the crap that I ate while in Britain.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:39 pmBoy some folks seem to miss the point don’t they TP? That or they’re just a bunch of baiting trolls trying to get a rise outta someone. I guess, as I’m a bit bored I’ll rise to the occasion.
1. This is a man who just had 7 polyps cut out of his large intestines. I think I’d be looking for something a little less greasy, fattening and red meatish were it me that just had a camera with a pole and a claw on the end shoved up my ass.
2. For someone who so gung ho on taking care of yourself as a means to stay healthy as if it’ll stop all diseases in their tracks so he doesn’t have to spend any kind of money in an effort to make sure Americans can get health care when they need it… it’s funny how some arrogant bastard sitting in the white house who can spare no expense in seeking proper health care cuz he’s got our f*cking money to spend on himself (while he tells the people who gave him the cash to go f*ck themselves) decides he doesn’t have to practice what he preaches.
Everybody get the significance of the story now? Good.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:40 pmI think TP likes to offer us an open thread every once in a while.
Please send all off-topic conversations in other threads here.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:40 pmOne of my arteries snapped shut just reading that story.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:40 pmThey are Freedom Fries! FREEDOM Fries!
July 31st, 2007 at 12:41 pmMaybe he is a cyborg like Cheney. Did you hear the full CBS interview from yesterday’s thread?

Comment by kelso — July 31, 2007 @ 12:39 pm
I don’t like Starbucks or McDonald’s either. Oh you ment English cuisine! Sorrty!!
July 31st, 2007 at 12:42 pmOkay, folks, this is a little bit silly.
This is the equivalent of the right trying to paint Al Gore as a hypocrite because he flies to speaking engagements.
Bush has flaws and f*ckups to spare without nitpicking about the menu he serves guests — especially guests from a culinary valhalla like Britain.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:44 pmNo health problems of note, either, for a 60-year-old man.
That is, of course, if you exclude mental health problems. Changes to his diet wouldn’t help here, however. It might help him, though, if he would quit drinking but I doubt that will ever happen.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:44 pmSounds pretty good to me. Except the cheese burger. I don’t like cheese on my burger.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:45 pmFluff entry.
You guys wouldn’t mourn tomorrow if Bush keeled over from congested arteries, so why bring up his diet as if you care enough to point out his bad habits?
July 31st, 2007 at 12:47 pmEverybody get the significance of the story now? Good.
Ok, thankyou for clarifying it for me, and I thought perhaps the pres was just trying to serve a little Americana to his foreign guest.
Of course you had to dig deeeeeeep into your own fevered mind in an attempt to blast Bush, though for all you know the British PM requested this food because he enjoys it on occasion or whatever.
Now its time to have a march against polyps, you lead the way.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:48 pmRegarding the health care issue, from my perspective, President Bush is in much better shape than Michael Moore. How can you try to resolve health care issues when you are the biggest cause?

It’s been working for parents for generations, it can work in health-care also.

Besides, we’re waiting for Specter’s deadline, which has been extended now.
I have a great recipe for healthy burgers if anyone is interested. I wonder if that banana pudding is the kind with ‘nilla wafers and meringue.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:53 pmBush is obviously trying to Kill Brown with kindness, calories and cholesterol.

I plan the march against whatever and the rest of you are responsible for food, signs, bathrooms, etc. Thats how it works and its not up for debate.
Train mentioned “irony” so I have decided to change the march topic to Solidarity Against And/Or For Irony.

Ok, now when I can start inferring sexual innuendo out of a comment like that, it’s time for me to go stand in the corner for a while.
July 31st, 2007 at 1:04 pmI left here in a snit a coupla weeks ago after my comments which were FINE were deleted. I don’t even engage the trolls (too often.) Anyway, I love TP so I’m back to support my favorite blog and if they delete me, I’ll just repost.
I love this topic. Thank you for the excellent public service announcement, TP. As one who had a massive heart attack at age 55, and no I wasn’t overweight and don’t drink or smoke, it all came down to foods and cholesterol. Because I thought my weight was good, I exercise, and don’t engage in risky behaviors, I thought I was not at risk.

Michael Moore is overweight (although he’s recently started to lose weight through both diet and exercise.) But HE did not cause the problems with the US healthcare system. He does not cause health care problems for others by being overweight. And don’t start in all this BS about health care premiums being high because he’s fat. Health care premiums would only go up as a result of his obesity if he was over-using the health care system. I haven’t heard of him having any health related issues as a result of his obesity.

Actually you do use pride. You’re proud of the fact you’re still in the closet, while persecuting other gay people. Then again, you aren’t the brightest bulb, are you?
July 31st, 2007 at 1:14 pm“Because I thought my weight was good, I exercise, and don’t engage in risky behaviors, I thought I was not at risk.”
An excellent point. I had a bone-thin roommate once who had high cholesterol. Everyone thinks healthy = thin and it simply doesn’t. For example, people with anemia are suseptible to heart disease.

Physically, perhaps.

July 31st, 2007 at 2:18 pmWhat a surprise for PM Brown I’m sure President Bush apologized for the menu that his staff set up. President Bush most likely told his staff to read the background of a visiting World Leader next time. After I read the background of PM Brown I think he has an idea of what the Administration thinks of him.. I hope no World Leader does that to our President. I can’t forget about the foreign visit George H. Bush had when he got sick and how that country reacted. Yes it wasn’t their fault but they wanted to make sure our President was safe.
It’s so easy now all the White House had to do was google PM Brown’s life story and there it is all of it from birth to present. But I guess everyone was to busy.
July 31st, 2007 at 2:24 pmThat’s it; keep eating those fatty foods. Maybe they can do what congress can’t. . . .
July 31st, 2007 at 2:34 pmHey maybe they cooked them hamburgers in the George Foreman grill and all that fatty stuff ran right off them burgers like water on a hot skillet!
Really though I could care less what George eats. I would probably be celebrating too if I only had a few polyps.
July 31st, 2007 at 2:43 pmI hope no World Leader does that to our President. I can’t forget about the foreign visit George H. Bush had when he got sick and how that country reacted.
Wasn’t that the G8 in Heiligendamm, where Mr Bush was sick from non-alcoholic beer and the other teetotaller Sarkozy gave a very weird speech to the press? Must have been a great party that evening. At least Blair and Putin could hold their drink – and Angela.
July 31st, 2007 at 2:50 pmThe only meal Gordon Brown would have found disgustingly American – the banana pudding especially – (though much healthier) would have been peeanut butter and jelly sandwiches. As usual, Bush does whatver he wants to do, the rest of the world be darned. And Bush laughs when his diplomats have to eat snails in France or fried scorpions in Beijing. What a hoot.
July 31st, 2007 at 2:50 pmWow, you Democrats are getting desperate. He is a fit guy for his age and you’re trying to label him a hypocrite for eating a cheeseburger? Oh no!
July 31st, 2007 at 3:06 pmhere’s what i think… after having heard this story yesterday,
on rachel maddow…
dumby wanted to feat his guest with and “all american” menu…
i’m insulted that my president would think it was a good idea to
treat the british prime minister like some regular person…
to the very foods that have helped US become an unhealthy nation…
it’s just another in a line of poor judgement calls…

Well, I’d have to be stoned to be married to that…..wouldn’t you? :D
July 31st, 2007 at 3:18 pmZooey sez:
I’m sure being stoned helps….the difficulty is in maintaining that state perpetually…not as easy as you might think…

No…you’ve got the wrong Bush.

Stop, my sides are bursting from the laughter! When you put away the prissy AttorneyGeneral, Rev. Haggard and Mark Foley – maybe this won’t be so funny! Then again, you did get the cheerleader in chief through gay-rehab so that he at least can pretend to be straight!
Tell me, why do you hate yourself for being gay bilbo? It’s OK, it’s not your fault – it’s your fruit for a father that made you gay! Or didn’t your preacher tell you that while you were sitting on his lap?
July 31st, 2007 at 5:06 pmWho the hell cares? What, Think Progress bloggers never stop off at a McDonald’s every once in a while? Who knows, maybe Brown wanted some real “American” food for his visit.
I know, I know, it makes you wince that Bush looks about 10 times as fit as Clinton ever did, but come on guys. How much lower can you go?
This is lame, even for Think “one uncorroborated source is all we need to print” Progress.
