cbs2chicago.com - President Surprises Chicagoans At Popular Diner

This local Chicago TV news story is perfect and has everything! It is so sappy and is written like a love letter from a star-struck kid. And yet it captures something perfectly -- how differently workers and petit boug. see Bush and the real material basis for their views.

The lede on this story should be: "Bush NEVER thinks about you or your interests"

cbs2chicago.com - President Surprises Chicagoans At Popular Diner:

"As CBS 2's Sylvia Gomez reports, diners at one popular Chicago hang-out got more than their usual cup of morning coffee.

President Bush leaned in like an old buddy at Lou Mitchell's Friday morning. Charm is one of the president's great strengths.

'I'll tell you, he's a very good looking man. When you meet him in person, he's a very nice man. Very polite,' owner Nick Thanas said."

But now the president has moved on. For a 23-year Lou Mitchell's veteran, Sheri Wassberg, it was just another day, and the president was just another customer who only ordered coffee and juice.

"We've waited on different movie actors and actresses," Sheri said.

When asked if he wasn't all that special, Sheri laughed.

"Well, he's the president, but, yes," she replied.

She might feel differently if only he had left her a tip.
