President Barack Obama – making a campaign swing through Toledo today – stopped at a local diner to have breakfast with three autoworkers.

According to the report filed by the press pool that travels with the president, Obama met the workers at Rick’s City Diner, with people lining the streets as the motorcade went by.

1. I hope GM or Chrysler will build Obama a new complimentary car when he leaves office

(in 2017, I hope)

He would certainly deserve it.
