Pretty much all we can think about here at MP HQ is this morning’s inauguration. Regardless of political affiliation, we were all glued to our new President waxing stentorian about tomorrow and strength and change, and this blogger found herself blinking back totally emo tears on more than one occasion. (Heck of a rendition of ‘Simple Gifts,’ amirite?)
Still riding that high, we’re giving over today’s National post to a roundup of ways we can, well, eat Barack Obama. It’s quite possible that no other president in history has had so many foodstuffs created in his likeness. In all our intrepid searching, though, we still haven’t found a decent Obama pancake or a truly inspired Obama burger.
For that matter, where are all the Michelle homages? Come on, folks, it’s not too late to make your own edible, indelible contribution to history!
Right: order an Americano (get it?) at any UK Krispy Kreme, and it’ll come decorated with the cocoa-powdery visage of President #44.

This pizza from laughingstarfish’s Flickr is decorated to look like the Obama logo, obviously:
Last but certainly not least, doesn’t this bacon cheeseburger from wastedinthekeys’ Flickr totally look like the Obama logo?
