Obama gets a burger for lunch

President Barack Obama stopped for lunch Friday at Five Guys, a fast-food restaurant in Washington.

The president blended in (as much as possible) with the regulars in line.

The president ordered a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, jalapeno peppers, and mustard as well as several other cheeseburgers to go.

Let's see, what did Biden want this time?

And some fries, too.

An give me a burger for this guy in the suit.

Unlike past presidents and fake presidents in Hollywood movies, Obama carries around money to pay for things.

Obama talks to other customers and gets his photo taken (many times) while waiting for his order.

Early this month, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden took a short motorcade ride from the White House to Virginia and ordered lunch at a small independent restaurant called Ray's Hell Burger.

The president snacked on peanuts, and chatted with surprised customers while he waited for his order.

There are "more problems than we thought," Obama told a man who asked him about his first months in office.

For a health food nut, President Obama sure likes his burgers.

The president's motorcade packs up the order.

Food in hand, Obama returns to the White House.
