Obama on So-Called Barbecues
Barack Obama attended a Lutheran church in Wisconsin and talked a bit with the church’s pastor:
For about 15 minutes after the service, Obama greeted and took pictures with congregants. He spoke briefly with Kerr on his way out the door, explaining that his next event, at the Rod and Gun Park, was being billed by sponsors as a BBQ.
But Obama told Kerr it didn’t meet his standards for barbecuing.
“If you’re not barbequing, it’s not a barbecue,” the senator said. “It’s a cookout. It’s a picnic. It’s a bratfest. It’s not a barbecue.”
