Obama Avoids Pork Issue in State of the Union

For those who wanted President Barack Obama to address the issue of pork in the State of the Union, the speech of Argentina’s President Cristina Fernandez this week shows just how much Obama is withholding from the public. Fernandez not only praised the benefits of eating pork but encouraged that a little pork in your diet can spice up your love life. What do we get? A discussion of market recovery and jobs initiatives.

Fernandez used a speech this week to praise pork and insisted that “[i]t is much more gratifying to eat some grilled pork than to take Viagra.” She went on to say that “it was all good” after she enjoyed some pork with her husband, former President Nestor Kirchner. She indicated that their evening suggested that the stories of pork-enhanced love making “might be right.”

One can only imagine Justice Alito’s response if Obama gave a personal testimonial to pork-based loving in the State of the Union. He strikes me as a beef guy.
