◼ “No, they were not regulars.” The waitress who served President Obama, Mary, told me the veterans with whom the President discussed “health care” were not regulars. “Well, maybe one of the guys came in here before…” - Jim Hoft/Gateway Pundit
In fact, the Obama Campaign even had a copy of their bios on hand.
And, one of the veterans just happens to be an Obama for America volunteer!
What a complete surprise.
It was all manufactured – just for Obama.

◼ Some surprise, Team Obama planned meet with 3 Veterans (actually, campaign volunteers) at diner in "surprise" stop - Dan Riehl
◼ The three veterans who had lunch with President Barack Obama Tuesday in outer Northeast Portland didn't just happen to wander into the Gateway Breakfast House. - Oregon Live
All have connections to the Obama reelection campaign and were presumably chosen for good political reasons.
After all, Obama had given a speech Monday at a convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Reno, so the Portland lunch reinforced the message that president cares about vets. In addition, the local vets -- Thomas Foeller of Oak Grove and Mark Peterson and Dean Dilley, both of Portland -- are retired white males, a demographic the Obama campaign would certainly like to do better with.
