but Krispy Kreme? Truly awful doughnuts.

What I like best about these kinds of drop-ins that Obama does is that the Secret Service don't just hover next to him. He gets to behave like an almost normal person. And I believe he always insists on paying for whatever he orders. Notice that in the first picture he appears to have his wallet out.
