Two of Friday’s press reports put Pres. Obama on the horns of a dilemma.
On one hand, First Lady Obama was visible stumping for “My Plate” … the iconic replacement for the “Food Pyramid” …. part of her program to put a dent in childhood obesity and get kids eating healthier.
Obviously, there’s no room for McDonald’s on the First Lady’s plate.
On the other hand, a measly 54,000 jobs were created in May … and, it turns out that half of the jobs came from a single employer — McDonald’s.
McDonald’s ran a big hiring day on April 19 — after the Labor Department’s April survey for the payrolls report was conducted. Reportedly, McDonald’s swelled its workforce by more than 30,000 … more than half of May’s total gain.
So, while Michelle is trying to shut McDonald’s down, Barack is counting on the company for recovery summer deux.
What a dilemma …

P.S. You may remember that McDonald’s got an ObamaCare waiver.
Coincidence?
