I just fricking love this guy.

Talk about quotes that would make any liberal’s head explode.

On Tuesday, Primary Day, Barack Obama went across the street to Pat’s for a cheesesteak.

Same day, Hillary Clinton had a chicken cheesesteak with Italian greens in the Philadelphia suburbs.

To Geno’s owner Joey Vento, such decisions showed such a lack of courage that neither Democrat deserves to be president.

“If they don’t have the guts to come here and talk about the immigration problem … they’re not capable of running our country,” he said.

Imagine that. Hillbama taking on an issue without like-minded fools to run to for cover.

Don’t know who Joey Vento is yet? He’s this guy:

Vento has been something of a national figure since a sign in his restaurant’s window started making headlines two years ago.

Still there, it reads:

“This is America. When ordering please speak English.”

A brash, passionate South Philly guy who’s the kind of American that used to be much more common forty or fifty years ago. A beef-eating man’s man, not some sassy metrosexual collectivist.

Vento on Obama:

If Obama had stopped at Geno’s and just politely listened to Vento’s views about illegal immigration, the senator’s poll numbers might have shot up 8 points, Vento said.

Obama needn’t agree. He could just say, ” ‘I think I’ll take this under advisement,’ ” Vento said.

“I’m for everything that he’s against,” Vento said.

Obama’s reluctant to wear flag pins, Geno’s is full of flags. They differ on abortion. Obama wants to bring the troops home, Vento wants them to finish the mission.

Heh.

His thoughts on the merits of the Chicken Cheesesteak is mightily entertaining …

Clinton’s gastronomic choice also raised his hackles. “There’s no such thing as chicken steak,” he said. “… I refuse to sell it. This is beef country. Beef is the backbone of the United States. … The cattle drives! Rawhide! Clint Eastwood driving the cattle.”

RAWHIDE! That’s just plain awesome. If “awesome” were a food, that would be a big fucking plate of awesome with awesome sauce on it.

“I have no problem with legal immigration,” he added. “… You shouldn’t be rewarded for not obeying the law.”

Next time I get to Philly, I’m going to Geno’s and I’ll proudly be doing the Philly Stoop right outside that place.
