WASHINGTON -- The United States is in the midst of a devastating recession, mired in two overseas wars and grappling with a swine flu outbreak, but conservative critics are assailing President Barack Obama on another pressing issue: his choice of burger topping.
Dijongate is in full force, with Fox News and a conservative blogger leading the charge against the president for his choice of the apparently un-American mustard atop his cheeseburger during a recent impromptu lunch stop with Vice-President Joe Biden.
It's a key ingredient, for example, in the president's favourite tuna salad, and he also had the gall to request it during his first trip on Air Force One.
"And the mainstream media didn't cover it," William Jacobson, a Cornell law school professor who has also been blogging about Dijongate wrote.
For me, I love Dijion mustard. So much better than regular mustard. With everything going on in the world, the media really focuses on some weird things

I'm with Obama, Dijon rules. Back in the days before Baconator ruled the Kingdom of Burger, I'd get my burgers plain, take 'em home, and slather on the dijon (and salsa!). El rocko!

It's the next best thing to horseradish for prime rib. Good too if your steak isn't flavoured or is dry
Of course, Dijion mustard makes or break a great Montreal Smoke Meat sandwich
The article isn't about the blogger's problem with Dijon mustard, but rather than MSNBC edited out the audio of Obama ordering the "Hell Burger" with dijon mustard. The blogger claims it's excessive "image control."
Fox News, of course, took the article and the story and attacked Dijon mustard rather than image control. Haggerty in particular calls it the President's "fancy burger."
Fox News, Haggerty, the blogger and anyone that is so extreme to care about this crap is flat out nuts.
Mad Mel is right - too many stupid people, too few bullets... especially with gun nuts hoarding ammo in fear that Obama is coming to take their guns away.

Well, if you don't like salsa, it would be bad, but if you DO you should try it - they complement each other very well with both adding a little heat to the equation. I use just a regular dollop of salsa and spread it over the bun on top of the mustard as if it were chunky ketchup.
I also add salsa into home-made burgers, which has the added benefit of being a thickening agent that helps the patties stay together. Salsa, bbq sauce, a bit of Frank's Red Hot, an egg, and extra lean beef - mmm mmm!

Oh sure, now you have me craving a smoked meat sandwich! I haven't found a place that makes a really good one, other than Druxy's which is ok, but the bread is too doughy. They do pile on the meat, though, which is the secret - I don't want a couple slices, I want a whole freakin' COW on there!
(nvm Fotze I already mentally made the obligatory sexual remark about "smoked meat sandwich").
