Kraft Foods brand name Grey Poupon issued a letter Friday in support of President Obama's criticized dijon mustard preference. The letter asks Obama to pardon "any American who has ever been criticized for putting a liberal spread of Dijon mustard on a burger or a conservative dollop on a ham & cheese sandwich."
The president ordered dijon mustard on a hamburger last week at a Arlington, VA restaurant. Sean Hannity of Fox News Channel tried his best to smear Obama as an elitist fancypants on his program, saying, "hope you enjoy that fancy burger, Mr. President."
No matter how weird or off-base right wing smear artists like to get with their anti-Obama attacks, America's brands love Obama to death, because he is popular and he sells.
Here is the letter put out as a press release from Kraft.
May 8, 2009
The Honorable Barack H. Obama
President of the United States
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20006
Dear Mr. President:
We applaud you, Mr. President, for exercising your freedom of taste when recently ordering a burger with Dijon mustard. We’re always happy to see people use Dijon mustard to add flair and flavor to their favorite foods. The right to choose condiments freely is quintessentially American and embodies the spirit of our democracy.
So we urge you to respond to “Dijon-gate” by issuing a “pardon” to any American who has ever been criticized for putting a liberal spread of Dijon mustard on a burger or a conservative dollop on a ham & cheese sandwich. These “Pardon Me for Loving Dijon” proclamations will empower the millions of Dijon mustard-loving Americans to ask for their favorite condiment with pride.
Respectfully yours,
The GREY POUPON Team
