OBAMA PLAYS THE WAFFLE CARD WHEN ASKED ABOUT CARTER'S MEETING WITH HAMAS

A first in American politics...Rather than answer a question from a reporter about former president Jimmy Carter's ill-advised meeting with the terrorist group Hamas, Obama played, not the race card, but the waffle card.

Democratic White House contender Barack Obama could not hide his irritation Monday when asked by a reporter what he thought about former president Jimmy Carter's meeting with Hamas last week.

"Why can't I just eat my waffle?" the Illinois senator said as he ate breakfast in Scranton, Pennsylvania, according to MSNBC television pictures.

Pressed again for an answer, he replied: "Just let me eat my waffle."

Let's be sure to keep this guy out of IHOP. We'll never get a straight answer.
