Obama Food Cart?!!!


I have a love for food and I think the carts that decorate the streets of NYC are pretty badass. Combine them with our current president and you get the MEAL O'BAMA cart. Sadly, reviewers have said the food isn't as good as the owner of the cart could make it. But they can improve! Surely they can! Yes they can!
