By now you have probably heard about wafflegate -- Obama's ten day refusal to meet with the press:
Obama got cranky with a reporter today when asked a question at a diner about Jimmy Carter meeting with Hamas.
As Sen. Hillary Clinton was preparing to campaign here today, Sen. Barack Obama was meeting with voters at a diner and apparently pretty hungry. "Why can't I just eat my waffle?" he said, when asked a foreign policy question by a reporter at the Glider Diner.
What's the big deal? Why is this news? Because, as Jay Newton-Small at Time's Swampland explains, Obama hasn't given a press conference in 10 days and the reporters had no other opportunity to ask him.
Now you can own the wafflegate waffle plate. The plate that Obama used to eat waffles in a Scranton diner on Monday morning is for sale on eBay.
