I bet the Secret Service loved this! Not! Hey, Joe, let's go out for lunch ... or words to that effect today as President Obama and Vice President Biden, who meet at the White House for lunchonce a week, decided to head out of the Big House and drive over to Arlington to Ray's Hell Burgers. Of course, the ride included one rather large motorcade, the Secret Service, and the White House press contingent. The POTUS refused to accept a free meal, as he and the VPOTUS chowed down burgers and tater tots, sitting on stools around a high table. POTUS also paid for several of the reporters' meals, and the reporters decided to make a donation in kind to a local charity.
