Remember those four Obama supporters who won a chance to meet and have lunch with President Obama after donating to the campaign? Not surprisingly, the entire event filmed for Obama’s re-election campaign.
Today, the campaign releases a video of the event, highlighting the president taking time out of his day to meet with “real Americans.”
Each of the four Obama donors who were chosen for the event was interviewed on camera by the campaign, as they excitedly talked about sharing lunch with the President of the United States, before he bounds in to meet them.
“I don’t know about you guys, but I have a lot of fun doing this,” Obama says during the lunch, “Because usually I’m having lunch, reading some briefing book or meeting with my staff, to actually have lunch outside with some real folks is a big treat for me.”
During the meal, one of the supporters asks Obama if he imagined that Republicans would try to block everything he wanted to pass. “I gotta admit, I did not,” replied Obama, “That was their strategy and it wasn’t a good strategy for the American people.”
Later on during the meal, Obama points to his plate and tells the group, “If you guys want some fries by the way, I’m not going to eat all these.”
