If you listen to the Republican rhetoric on the House and Senate floors you'd think President Obama would be afraid to show his face in public because everyone hates "Obamacare."
That wasn't evident on Friday when the President along with Vice President Joe Biden walked from the White House to a sandwich shop that was giving federal workers a 10% discount to help them through the GOP induced government shutdown. As you can see in the video the President was greeted with smiles and told by the public to "stick to your guns".
And yes, Obama picked up the tab for both his and Biden's sandwich before they walked back to the White House with a gaggle of press trailing them all the way.
