I don’t care if you’re the president of the United States of America — if I got yelled at for overreaching at Chipotle, then you should, too. Right before he spoke at the White House Summit on Working Families on Monday afternoon, Obama “overreached” at a Chipotle in Washington, D.C. for a quick lunch. White House photographer Pete Souza then threw him under the bus by tweeting a photo of the president reaching over the sneeze guard to pick out his toppings.

There have been no reports about the employees reprimanding him, and I’m not sure how I feel about that. I got reprimanded by a sassy blond girl named Brandi at the Chipotle on Maiden Lane. She was mean. But then again, Obama got reprimanded by a whole lot more people.

“It had been awhile since I had the burrito bowl,” Obama told the audience at the summit after his lunch. “It was good.” Burrito bowl? Interesting. That was, coincidentally, what I was ordering when I was promptly shut down by Brandi. It really is the best thing on Chipotle’s menu, though, and one can get overzealous when ordering. So not only does Obama have really good taste (but we all knew that, judging by his other recent lunch choices), this is further proof that he’s human, like the rest of us.

While the folks at Chipotle may have gone easy on him that day, the rest of the country did not. As soon as Souza’s photo was posted to the Twittersphere, people started attacking left and right, calling the president out on his grave faux pas.

i had an idea to smash capitalism: go to subway/chipotle, order a shitload of stuff, then when the time comes to pay just walk out

another idea: deposit a cheque for a million dollars in a bank machine. then go buy gold worth one million dollars with your bank card. then live off untraceable gold in some resort in the bahamas. boom.

House Speaker John Boehner announced Wednesday he plans to file suit against President Obama over his alleged abuse of executive power.

"This is not about impeachment -- it's about him faithfully executing the laws of this country," Boehner said.

The speaker alleged that the president not only has ignored the law but "brags about it," decrying what he described as "arrogance and incompetence."

Boehner had been weighing such a lawsuit in recent days, over concerns that Obama exceeded his constitutional authority with executive actions. Republicans have voiced frustration with Obama's second-term "pen and phone" strategy of pursuing policy changes without Congress -- particularly environmental rules via the Environmental Protection Agency. Republicans also complained about numerous unilateral changes to the implementation of ObamaCare.

The lawsuit has not yet been filed. But asked Wednesday whether he intended to proceed, Boehner said: "I am."

"My view is the president has not faithfully executed the laws," he said. "What we have seen clearly over the last five years is an effort to erode the power of the Legislative Branch."

The decision to sue still would have to be formally approved by a group of House leaders. Presuming that step is cleared, the suit is expected to be filed in a few weeks.

The plaintiff would be the House of Representatives.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, asked about the suit at Wednesday's briefing, defended the president's executive authority -- while blasting Republican leadership for what he called a "taxpayer-funded lawsuit against the president of the United States for doing his job."

"It seems that Republicans have shifted their opposition into a high gear," he said. "Frankly, it's a gear that I didn't know previously existed."

Ahead of Boehner's announcement, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi ridiculed the prospect of a suit against the president.

"I make of it as subterfuge," she said. "They're doing nothing here. So they have to give some aura of activity."

Pelosi said the Republican caucus needs an "adult in that room."

who the fuck talks like this

it's probably a reference to an early 1960s television show which is how memes work for old white people

they're also the only ones left who reference current commercials
