Q: So how does Barack Obama like his hamburger?
A: Medium well, cheddar cheese, dijon mustard, lettuce and tomato with salad and don’t hold the fries.
The historic flight from Chicago to Washington, DC was widely covered right up until he reached the cabin door, though National Geographic took over filming to witness President-Elect Obama’s first official trip to Washington aboard an Air Force C-32 (Boeing 757) aircraft on January 4th.
My personal favorite line from Obama: “You look like Sam Shepard from the Right Stuff.”
The clip was filmed as part of the Onboard Air Force One documentary being aired on January 25th at 8 PM/9 PM ET/PT on the National Geographic Channel.
A very special thanks to the National Geographic Channel for providing the footage.
