The NY Post reports:

MICHELLE Obama, like her husband, enjoys a good burger, but not as well done. The first lady brought daughters Malia and Sasha to former “Top Chef” contestant Spike Mendelsohn’s Good Stuff Eatery in DC for cheeseburgers, onion rings, fries, and milkshakes. “They got the burgers medium,” says a spy. (President Obama was mildly ridiculed after ordering a burger medium-well in January.) “Three starving Secret Service guys were literally standing over the grill as Spike made the burgers, but didn’t eat,” our source adds. Fellow patrons had their cellphones temporarily confiscated to prevent pictures from being taken.

Does anyone else see anything wrong with people who just had the bad luck to eat at a restaurant that Michelle Obama wanted to go to having their personal property confiscated, however temporarily?  She’s not even the president.  Did Laura Bush do this?  How did it go down: did the Secret Service agents go up and down along all the booths and go, “Cellphones, please.  You’ll get them back when Mrs. Obama is done or you decide to leave.”

If this story is true, I suspect that there are several diners out there who’d prefer it if the Obamas wouldn’t inflict themselves on the public as often as they do.

(Thanks to Darleen for the pointer.)
