Why did you bring that up?
For those who don't know, MSNBC and the whitehouse created a photo-op for the president and vice president to go get burgers to look like "Average Guys"; while it is a little unusual to stage these kinds of photo-ops outside of an election campaign there is nothing really wrong with it. Barack Obama decided to get dijon mustard on his burger (which there is nothing wrong with) and MSNBC decided to edit out him ordering the dijon mustard (which seems a little unusual, but is really nothing). Bloggers saw this and instantly connected dijon mustard with the old Grey Poupon comercials and made jokes that there was a massive conspiracy to hide that Obama was an elitest; from what I saw, the majority of the jokes were poking fun at the news media more than at the president.
Now, since every president has been made fun of for (pretty much) everything and their supporters seem to laugh along or let it roll of their backs when it is something as silly as this. What is unusual about this non-event is how rabid some of Obama's supporters have been over very mild and tame jokes ...
