I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

Nothing wrong with the food, it’s good and plentiful but, IPO the White House, casinos, and the Cheesecake Factory all have the same vibe! You enter through the doors all excited, and leave feeling like shit!

Betcha Cheesecake Factory sees a jump in biz since Obama alluded to them. If I was Cheesecake’s corporate publicist, I’d make the most of it! Obviously- Obama eats there!!

This is hilarious because it's a bunch of corrupt billioniares accusing a millioniare of being elite for suggesting cheesecake factory, a place they have never been and will never go, is tacky.

It's all so blatantly, cynically, manipulative. The rabble will get riled up by whatever they are told to get riled up about. The Cracker Barrel nonsense is all the evidence needed. It was a completely typical, routine, meaningless, and inoffensive rebranding exercise, and a modest one at that.

MOST WASTEFUL SPENDING in HISTORY once AGAIN belongs to the RepubliCON party who ALWAYS "claim" they're the "fiscal responsible" party! Just LOOK around you and you can SEE they're LYING like they ALWAYS do!

There is nothing wrong with Cheesecake Factory. The problem is , here in Chicago, tourists wait for over an hour on Michigan Ave for a table , whereas they can walk 3 stores down to a mom & pop Thai place that is blow your mind good, for half the price.

I'm smiling now, because I don't even see posts from Republicans I guess. I thought Obama's quip was perfect and knew just what he meant. Casino comparisons are spot on too. All that tacky gold. No taste or class.

Have you ever seen the inside of Mar-a-lago? It's the GAUDIEST looking place you've ever seen! Looks like a WHORE HOUSE that caters to the RICH which it pretty much does but the WH is OUR HOUSE NOT HIS! Just more PROOF he has NO PLANS to LEAVE WILLINGLY regardless of what Elections say!

Also, WHO THE ABSOLUTE FUCK CARES WHAT REPUBLICANS THINK?? I hope every one of these treasonous spineless sycophants gets the justice they deserve in this life and the hell and damnation they so vociferously believe exists in their fucking afterlife.

I knew what Obama meant but had no idea what Cheesecake Factory looked like. Had no interest in ever going to one, after seeing this, now I definitely don’t want to go. That place would give me a massive headache

'The Cheesecake Factory', ironically, has the least factory-like decor of any restaurant. They really should have named it the 'The Cheesecake Cabaret' or 'The Cheesecake Boudoir' with the gaudy esthetic it has.

My daughter was a server at a Cheesecake Factory for over a year. She worked in other restaurants before and after. She had mad respect for CF and its intelligent processes, especially in comparison.

I ate at The Cheese Cake Factory I SF. It was gaudy and the food was overrated. Never been back sense. More importantly 99% of Americans can't afford: basic necessities, gas to go to work, we threw the Constitution out in the garbage. Bit urs let's be upset about a 3rd chain being insulted.

The fact that this needs to be explained is a glaring example of the failure of our Education system. You don’t need to have known that the Cheesecake Factory has gaudy decor to understand that it was an insult. And their novel of a menu is full of shite food too. Haute cuisine my arse. 

Employment of trades people will go up when we remove that 🍊 menace. Lots and lots of demo, cleanup and renovation will be required.

Willing to go to the mat defending restaurant decor but not human beings says everything anyone needs to know about maga.

I've not gone. And this whole thread is making me ravenous. 😬 All I have left until next month is some peanut butter, but I need that for critter's meds. Someone mentioned a Madeira sauce, and I almost wept. I haven't had one for 28 years. I made it then to surprise a friend.

I think Costco is a must-have experience. Explain at the door that you’re not a member but just want to see it. It’s pretty mind blowing. Also, check out the price on the hotdogs they offer at the stand so you can eat before or after shopping.

It's about the same price per year for a membership as Sam's Club. $120/yr for the top tier which gets you in the door at 9AM or $65/yr for us common slobs who are content to pay less and wait a bit. They support more progressive and less screwball causes than WalMart.

Given all of the hateful shit Dozy Donny has spewed, getting jimmies rustled Obama's quip is blatant hypocrisy. But then, MAGA would take Donny's insults and beg for more because he's their white Golden Calf while mewling and crying about Obama's dig because he's black.

Thank god we’re all defending Obama against offending the right when the orange turd is the must disgusting human that ever was.

I don't think I've ever been in one, as I generally avoid restaurants with "factory" in the name on principle. I also don't like cheesecake very much.

The Cheesecake Factory is the culinary equivalent of a 400-page Terms of Service agreement. It’s not haute cuisine; it’s just a strategic attempt to overwhelm the senses until you forget you're eating in a themed mall lobby.

Retrumplicans mistakenly believe everyone is as naive gullible and ignorant as cult MAGAs. Pres Obama's Cheesecake Factory comment is hilarious. Although I do believe the White House and Oval office looks more like a bordello with all that cheap gold tat.

These complainers can't move past the fact Barack Obama is a strong, focused, Dynamic Speaker. He is loved and revered!! U keep bringing up his name n Biden n Obama is giving U want U want..."Obama said, Obama did." Keep his name out of ur mouths n MAYBE He'll go away peacefully!! NOT!!🤭👏👊

They are a party of completely unserious people. bsky.app/profile/dizz...

Pssst, hey maga dipshits... The dig was about tacky decor. That's it. That's all it was. Unclench your stupid fake pearls. If you don't think all that shit he's done to the WH is tacky then you have horrible taste too.

Too complicated for magats to understand. Besides, the racists in their crowd just growl and make noises when Obama speaks.

I don’t see posts by republicans. I avoid twitter and instagram. If I saw posts by MAGAts and republicans I would end up in a mental health clinic. I prefer my nice safe echo chamber with my sane friends.

So Obama's elitist? Their fucking corrupt, grifting, billionaire MAGAT leader lives in an exclusive (tacky) private golf resort. And he also buries his ex wives on them.

Nobody thinks it serves "haute cuisine." People THINK it serves cheesecake. Anything else on the menu is simply a route to the cheesecake. I read an article that explained how the Cheesecake Factory does what it does, which is to deliver good food properly cooked to every diner. That's all we want.

Maybe Republicans should ask their constituents how many of them can currently afford to take their families out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory in this economy?

IMO Cheesecake Factory has been missing 'free marketing opportunities' for yrs... They could 'tastefully' make his statement into a positive marketing campaign at a lower cost (than normal marketing campaigns) because social media has already started discussing them

OMG I don't live in the USA but I'd have to wear sunglasses in that place. Actually I'd just look inside & walk away. It screams tacky, tasteless & Trump. Obama was 1,000% on the money. 👍🤣

Is it really that hard to acknowledge that the Oval Office shouldn't look like The Cheescake Factory, whether you like their food or not?! To quote my man Charlie Brown: "good grief!"

Cheesecake Factory is their pain point ? It must be good thing that Buc-ees (travel center, gas station, food and carwash) will only ever be in conservative (red) states.

It's never 100% funny, but I grab the moments I can. I'm 65. I grew up with Vietnam. We lived down the block for Orlando Naval Training center, 2 miles from McCoy AFB. It could get VERY tense at times when Nixon kept doing stupid shit. Mostly, my 'rents and g-'rents kept us focused on OUR future

Yep, I’m 62, grew up near Naval, Army and Air Force bases. Hiding under our desks during nuclear bomb drills with the Navy base in direct line of sight over the water. Now I live near a naval submarine radar base, it would be a major target. I need to move

and we had pretty good senses of humor. I was talking to my bro today about how I was a little nervous about what might happen after Nov. 3. He has a home in "the Country" outside of NYC (He lives on the UWS) on 5 acres. I live up a good sized hill in the Mountains. I'm still scared to death.

One would think that Repubs would find gold bedazzled Cheesecake Factories a welcome oasis from urban blue state hellscapes where people live in dark alleys eating rats cooked over burning small businesses, while planning to rape them to levels no one has ever seen before. Or, it might all be BS.
