Zionist Obama has a personal tester!

In the wake of refusal of the President of the US to have lunch with the Congressional leaders of Republican Party, there were rumors that Obama has a personal tester, who would test all food and drinks before President eats.
President Obama took to the Hill this week to mend fences with the GOP but he stopped short of actually breaking bread with conservatives in Congress, supposedly because he didn’t have his cup bearer in tow at the Capitol.

The Secret Service won’t confirm if the president does indeed have a ‘Taster-in-Chief’ to monitor the president’s food but Republican Senator Susan Collins revealed the president wasn’t able to eat at the Thursday luncheon given in his honor because of the security measure.

While Republican Senators chowed down on a delicious menu of lobster, potato chips and blueberry pie, the president was left salivating and longingly eying the delicacies.

Senator Collins had organized the Thursday pow wow, held in the Lyndon B. Johnson Room off the Senate chamber, and paid homage to her home state of Maine with a bevy of local delicacies.

She said that the menu included, ‘University of Maine recipe for healthy lobster salad – I pointed that out to the president in keeping with the first lady’s initiatives and Fox Family Potato Chips made in Aroostook County where I’m from and wild blueberry pie full of anti-oxidants,’ according to an audio clip obtained by the Daily Caller.

‘We did have a little ice cream on the pie too, also made in Maine, Gifford’s Ice Cream. So in all seriousness this was well received,’ she told the press, after the lunch meeting that lasted 90 minutes.

Though GOP Senators who attended the event enjoyed the cuisine, the honored guest had to exercise self control and watch the others pleasure their taste buds.

‘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,’ Sen. Collins said.

‘He did look longingly at it and he remarked that we have far better food than the Democrats do, and I said that was because I was hosting.’

Thursday marked the president’s third day of meetings with members of Congress to discuss how to find common ground on the budget crisis.

The U.S. Security Service keeps details of its presidential protection measures under wraps but it is widely suspected that there is an official person appointed to sample all of Mr Obama’s food.

A rep from the Security Service did not respond to a request for comment about Mr Obama’s Thursday lunch fast.

Details about this role are scarce: is there one designated person or is food sampling assigned to whomever in the security detail is around?

In 2012, one chef preparing food for an Obama campaign fundraiser referred to the ‘First Taster’ as Chef Andrew from the White House kitchen.

The revelation came in a tweet from Tolan Florence, whose husband is celebrity chef Tyler Florence. Chef Florence was preparing the food for a $20,000 a plate event in Tampa, Florida in September.

With all the buzz in the kitchen, Mrs Florence tweeted, ‘Yes there is a taster. Lovely gentleman named Chef Andrew from The White House. We tasted one dish together.’

But just hours after she posted the Twitter message, she deleted the post and mystery remains about the identity of Chef Andrew.

Local meet and greets at restaurants, pubs and diners across America are popular stops for the president during the campaign and at least two chefs, Christopher Meyer of Boulder, Colo. and Rick Bayliss of Chicago, confirmed that a member of the Secret Service detail stood next to them in the kitchen as they cooked for Mr Obama.

More intrigue about the president’s food screener came to light during state trips abroad.

In November 2010, before the President landed for a state visit to India, the local media reported that a team of doctors from the JJ Hospital in Mumbai were called to serve as food tasters for the visit.

‘While the president will travel with his own food tasters, the protocol requires that we should also provide some from our end,’ Dean TP Lahane, Dean of JJ hospital, told the Mumbai Mirror.

One of the unnamed designated tasters said they would be tasting the food but would also be storing samples in the case of an investigation.

When Mr Obama traveled to the City of Lights in 2009, a French waiter told the AFP that when la famille Obama turned up at La Fontaine de Mars restaurant, there was a member of the security team who tasted all the dishes.

Reports on past presidents show that the Secret Service has intervened in some way before food was presented to the leader of the free world.

Former Secret Service agent Joseph Petro didn’t go into much detail in his 2005 book about his career protecting presidents but did write, ‘In principle, nothing edible gets near the President unless we know where it comes from and who has handled it.’

In his book, Standing Next to History, Mr Petro revealed that when the president travels abroad, special White House stewards are given the menu in advance for formal dinners.

The stewards bring the ingredients from the U.S., prepare the food and serve it to the president, though it will appear exactly like those options presented to the other guests.

When President Bill Clinton visited a restaurant in Los Gatos, California in 1993, local media reports mentioned Clinton’s ‘official food taster who had served three presidents,’ but the man was not identified.

Former President George H.W. Bush would frequently eat out in the Beltway and according to a Washington Post article in July 1990, he always brought his taster, bottled water and his own condiments to a restaurant.

The Post reported that on one occasion, Bush’s Taster-in-Chief actually washed all the flatware and plates before the first couple ate.

The taster would also sample food and taste any wine that was served.
