I admit I missed this story of Obama going over the "sneeze guard," now called, what else? SneezeGate.
When David Gregory asked Bill Clinton's opinion, he laughed and said that he made sure he was never photographed while ordering at a fast food restaurant. Then added that he did not wait for the fries to make it to the counter..
Good old Bill.

No, do not flame me. There is racism, there is sexism, there is homophobia, and still further on down the line there is bigotry and thoughtlessness against people who are short or left handed. My grandma was left handed and forced to live as a right hander. Her mom was short and left handed, and not a Mormon in Mormon country. One of my kids is a lefty. There are many short people in my family too.
I myself am tall and white and right handed and I confess to looking over "sneeze guards" and pointing.
My only excuse, wretched as it is, is that I've never sneezed.
I'll be aware of this next time I'm tempted to do it again.

It all started yesterday, when CNN, Fox and The New York Times were content to transcribe and transmit President Bushs comment about preferring his Philadelphia cheesesteaks Whiz with, thereby handing the Bush camp what it was after a revisitation in the national press of a year-old John Kerry faux pas (ordering his Philly cheesesteak with Swiss).
In contrast to the bigfoots of the national press, Kathleen E. Carey of The (Delaware County, Pa.) Daily Times went beyond mere stenography and did a little leg work on the issue, as well she should. For, while its certainly not in the top 100 critical campaign issues this election year, its safe to say that the proper construction of a Philadelphia cheesesteak matters more to Daily Times readers than it does to a national audience.
And the intrepid Carey came up with her own expose. She reported that Bush actually prefers his steak absent of the usual Cheez Whiz and provolone, accompanied only by cheese of the American variety, information that she obtained from her own Deep Throat, one Caeser Barnabei, the owner of the well-known cheesesteak shop, Jims Place. Barnabei, who has fed the Bush camp on previous swings through Pennsylvania and provided 70 to 80 hoagies for the Bush campaign yesterday, confided to Carey that the Jims Special is altered to whet the W appetite.
In Philadelphia, the classic cheesesteak recipe is hot beef strips and fried onions dripping with grease, slathered with Cheez Whiz straight from the squeeze bottle, all atop white bread. Solemnly, Carey reported her devastating conclusion: The commander-in-chief fooled thousands Tuesday to believe he eats like the epicureans here.
"Cheesegate" it wasn't, but it was a bigger foul than "Sneezegate". Conservative reaction (and MSM coverage of it) was and is sadly predictable.
