If Bush can't afford a burger...?

So during a photo-op moment in South Carolina at a burger joint the president was purchasing lunch for his entourage and the bill came to around $63.20 (versions differ as to exact amount) however in the photo shots and video the president is seen holding what appears to be two $20 bills. Realizing the problem he calls an aide over to help him on the shortfall. Which of course led to countless jokes: if he can’t afford to buy lunch how can he feed the nation etc…but seriously though, you would think for a photo-op you would carry at least more than $40 when trying to get lunch for the entourage!

    I went to buy coffee from Doug the Coffee Thug the other day. When I went to go pay, I realized I had no money on me at all. Luckily, a friend was standing in line behind me, and I was able to borrow a few bucks from her.

    Point being, these things happen to the best of us.

    Of course, if I were Bush, I'd just pay with my own currency.

    PS - That's the same $200 bill that someone used at a Dairy Queen a few years back.
