“

Consider this: A couple months ago, Scott, a firefighter and dad from Georgia, opened an email about having dinner with the President. He pitched in a few dollars to support the campaign, figuring “Why not?”

Weeks later, the President was offering him a french fry from across the table.

”

Amazing campaigning email from Team Obama. There’s something so American about this offering of a fry being included as a key detail.

Also, I can’t help but wonder: did he pick up the fry and hand it to him (unsanitary, eek!)? Gesture towards the dish? Or proffer it, glistening with oil and salt, on the end of a fork?
