Barack Obama Sticks To The Facts At The Local Starbucks
Welcome to Starbucks, what can I get for you?
Finally! I'm finally here - I made it!
Uh, why are you talking into a microphone?
You know, I've been waiting a long, long time to get to this counter, people. But I'm not discouraged!
Who are you talking to?
I don't know how many of you know this, but I've been in this line for thirty-six hours now. Thirty-six hours!
No you haven't! I saw you walk in five minutes ago.
Some people want to get bogged down in meaningless details. They want to count how many minutes someone's been in a line - as if that means anything!
Hey, you brought it up, I was just...
But we're not going to let them define the debate.
What debate?
No, we're not, because when you take $474.00 out of your hard-earned pay for a Caramel Macchiato, you have a right to expect...
That's not what we charge for a Caramel...
You have a right to expect that you won't get a cup of flavored coffee so hot that it literally burns a path staright to the core of the Earth.
Oh, now you're being ridiculous!
All right, maybe I got that wrong. You know, there are going to be times when I get tired. There are going to be times when I get weary. There are going to be times when I make mistakes.
All right, I guess that's understandable.
Especially at times like this, when I've been up for fifty-three days straight.
That's it! Either order or get out of line.
OK, give me a grande Caramel Macchiato, and make sure it's not so hot that it burns through the blacktop, like last time.
You know that never happened.
Maybe it did, maybe it didn't - I can't tell you what happened after it burned through the floorboard of my car.
Never happened.
...
...
OK, I was holding it between my legs and kinda burned my nuts.
I'll give you an extra cup. That'll be $4.95, please.
Well, here's a one-hundred dollar bill, and I want you to keep the change, because...
This is a five.
Good night, everyone!
...
That guy's one of the most annoying people in the world. No exaggeration.
