This guy knows that everything he does is looked at and scrutinized. He may not have chosen the menu, or even approved it. But, I'm sure he (or Tipper) knew what was being served. He makes himself a public figure, so he has to deal with the media attention whether it is positive or negative. I personally think he's a doofus, but I don't wish bad things on anyone (like a son getting arrested for drugs), including him. As far as him being "for the environment", that's great, but it doesn't make him a wonderful person. It just makes him someone who has a public platform to try to get people to vote for him for president someday. And, I do check the endangered species list before I eat. As long as cows, pigs and pasta are not on it, I'll be o.k.
