7. Yes, indeed! Articles say he even goes into the Temple of Caffeine, Starbucks, and orders Tea!

Of course, Obama visiting Starbucks itself is a bad omen to some:



The original brown siren did make a re-appearance for a brief time in 2006 to celebrate Starbucks 35th anniversary, and then again in 2008 to honor Starbucks coffee heritage. Even though the siren had her breasts covered in the retro-style logo, a Christian group, The Resistance, based in San Diego called for a national boycott. The new image “has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute,” Mark Dice,* founder of the group said in a press release.

Well – hopefully, The Resistance won’t be visiting the original Starbucks store in the Pike Place Market any time soon. The original siren proudly hangs outside the store’s front door in all her bare-breasted, two-tailed glory.

Links to the meaning of the logo all goes downhill from there...

You gotta admit that San Diego looks pretty good from that vantage point. I missed out on Obama calling for Boehner to step down for saying he didn't like Mexican food. This could be another scandal in the works!
