*See note at bottom of postPresident Obama's first lunchtime restaurant outing of 2012 is in service to his re-election effort. At 12:15 PM today, "the President will have lunch at a local restaurant with winners of a campaign contest," the White House announced. The eatery has not yet been identified, but the luncheon will be in Washington, DC.. The White House didn't announce President Obama's last lunch outing with the winners of an OFA contest, when he dined with volunteers at DC's Ted's Bulletin restaurant last August (above).
Nor was that luncheon listed on the President's daily schedule. Today's outing is. Mr. Obama chowed down on a cheeseburger and fries at Ted's, in keeping with being the most beef loving President in modern history.
The President's most recent campaign dining contest, "Dinner with Barack and Michelle," ended on Dec. 31. The names of the three winners have not yet been announced.
Before today's lunch, the President "will visit staff and deliver brief remarks at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau" at 11:40 AM. He announced his recess appointment for CFPB chief Richard Cordray on Wednesday.
*Note, 5:50 PM: Before today, "Lunch with Barack" was never part of the Campaign's dinner contest lingo, though many large media outlets, including ABC, have reported it as such.
"President Obama lunched in Washington today with four grassroots supporters and winners of his re-election campaign’s “Lunch with Barack” fundraising sweepstakes," ABC reported.
OFA released this behind-the-scenes video of the campaign lunch at Ted's Bulletin:
