He’s a freaking Chicagoan!
THIS is the sort of thing that all my conservative friends should have been forwarding me. I didn’t give a damn about those stupid american flag lapel pins, but ordering pizza from St. Louis? That is a slap in the face.
:rolleyes:
Well, Missouri is a swing state and Illinois is solid blue. Guess he’s trying to win MO in the next election.
Thin crust is better, anyway.
So order some barbecue or something! Not deep-dish pizza!
Lighten up, it’s just a pizza. I’m sure he has better things to worry about than offending some foodies.
The trouble is, everywhere thinks that their barbecue is best, so if you order it from one state, you lost votes in 49 other states. Obama’s got plenty of votes to play around with in Illinois, but his margins are closer elsewhere.
Deep-dish in Chicago is tourist food. He’s just ordering someone else’s “native” pizza style - I call no harm, no foul.
If he gets a hot dog NY-style, I’m calling for impeachment.
Of course, Texas barbecue is the best.
Speaking as a Californian, our BBQ sucks. 
You haven’t had tri-tip in Santa Maria, obviously. (Hopefully that counts as BBQ)
He’ll have to make up for it by mail-ordering from Adam’s Ribs. And don’t forget the cole slaw.
Cornmeal crust? He should try Carmen’s up near the Loyola stop on the Red line. They have the tastiest crust I’ve ever had on a Chicago deep-dish pizza.
Gone mad? Heck, no. If you’re having a St. Louis pizza place make your pizza, the mad choice would be to order St. Louis style pizza.
He’s just acknowledging that St. Louis style pizza is the devil’s ass for taste, so he got one that tasted better.
Ordering a Chicago style pizza is probably more of an insult to people that think that St. Louis style pizza is good. On the other hand, maybe St. Louis people will try the pizza fromPi and realize that real cheese actually is better than cheeze wizz.
Blasphemy!
That’s it. You’re both off my Christmas Card list. :mad:
I’m going home for a visit this weekend. I’m already looking forward to the Imo’s.
Are our attention spans so short that we’re reduced to this? During a global economic crisis, with our army facing hostilities in two countries, you’re upset that the leader of the free world has ordered pizza from the wrong city. This has got to be the most pointless outrage in history.
It’ll be cold by the time it gets there, anyway.
But cold pizza is always better the next morning.
Nah, the link makes clear that they are flying to Washington with dough, cheese and pizza pans and are going to be making the pizzas there. I so want to see videotape of them trying to get through airport security with raw pizza dough.
