Following President Obama’s lunch meeting with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill, Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins described the food served and said the president was not able to eat since his “taster” was not present.
“The President looked longingly at it,” reported Sen. Collins when asked about the menu. “He honestly did look longingly at it, but apparently he has to have essentially a taster, and I pointed out to him that we were all tasters for him, that if the food had been poisoned all of us would have keeled over so.”
According to a 2009 AFP report, the U.S. Secret Service has “always refused to confirm that US presidents travel with a food ‘taster’, in line with their policy of discretion on all security related issues.” Source!

Well, when we have people like you that hate everything Obama does, its no wonder that he's paranoid. You ever think someone might be able to poison his food, and his food alone? Duh.
Does Moochelle have a taster, too? Or just the Chicken 'n Chief? Good lord, the commander of the world's strongest army has a food taster. It's embarrassing.
