Just a regular guy, having a burger at the diner with a bunch of folks. Well, not really.

Here’s the pool report from Sheryl Stolberg of the New York Times on President Obama’s stop at an Allentown diner for lunch Friday:

“After the speech, POTUS motorcaded to the edge of Allentown for a stop at the Hamilton Family Restaurant, an all-night diner where patrons were dressed in very un-diner-like suits and ties for the visit. The chrome topped diner has a neon sign above the front door, reading "Ham Fam" in script.

“ … We found him at one end of the restaurant, in a center table for six, surrounded by about two dozen people in booths. He was eating his usual for-public-consumption average guy fare: a cheddar cheeseburger with fries.

“Here are his table mates:
Dr. Debby Cougar, Simmons Veterinary Hospital; Thedorus Bus, ATAS International Inc; Rolf Schlake, Applied Separations Inc.; Ester Erdossy, Egypt Star Bakery; Mayor Ed Pawloswki. Mr. Obama sat between the mayor and Ms. Erdossy on one side of the table; Mr. Schlake sat at the head of the table and the other two sat opposite Mr. Obama.

“That way, one end of the table was clear for photogs.”
