Obama Chicken @Buka

While walking down H Street the other day I noticed a sign outside Buka (a West African restaurant located at 1413 H Street) advertising an Obama chicken lunch special served with home fries. No word on whether the the chicken is cooked Kenyan style, fried American style, or prepared in another way.

It brought to mind the story of restaurant in Brooklyn that drew a mixed reaction to its name change (the new name was Obama Fried Chicken).

Obama chicken costs $87 per serving and after you've paid, they give it to the guy behind you.

Philadelphia Water Ice didn't move, only some of the children's stuff.

I think the special is named after Obama's recent performance in the polls. "Falling like a rock!".

A serving of Cheney Chicken adds five trillion to the national debt and kills hundreds of thousands of innocent people. They give it to you, not the guy behind you, and you're glad, 'cause unless you're an executive at an oil company, drug company, at Halliburton or on Wall Street, that's all you got out of the eight years prior to Obama.
