The Food Critic

Tonight on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, Katie asked Barack Obama and John McCain the question: “When was the last time you cried and why?”

Barack Obama talked about a birthday party for his daughter when they were visiting Montana over the Fourth of July (I believe in Butte).

He said we were in a small hotel, like a Holiday Inn, and about putting together a little party for his daughter’s 10th birthday.

He talked about the cake and family and then he said, “…there was some food which wasn’t, you know, stellar…”

I don’t believe he was speaking about the food making him cry, but the time he spent with his daughter when she told him it was the best birthday ever…I think.

Obama’s remarks came at about the 0:48 spot on the video:
