Daniel Rugg Webb, a comedian, artist and musician, as well as an employee at Franklin Barbecue in Austin, seized the opportunity to make his voice heard when he found out Potus was visiting the food joint on Thursday, The Austin Chronicle reported.
When the President approached the till, Webb, 32, cast his hand down onto the counter and said: “Equal rights for gay people!”
Obama responded: “Are you gay?!
To which Webb replied: “Only when I have sex.”
Laughing, the President told Webb to “bump me” and the pair knocked their fists together.
The exchange was captured in a photograph, which has since been widely shared on the internet. Obama is reported to have spent $300 (£175) in the restaurant.
So not only did the President share a joke one with one of the rarest creatures known to man, an openly gay man living in Texas, but he also gave him the dreaded terrorist fist bump. Conservative heads must be exploding all over Texas.
Here's my favorite part of the article:
“If Rick Perry (the governor of Texas) would've walked in, I would have lost my job. I would've taken that old queen to town,” Webb said.
Now as much as I enjoyed reading about this exchange part of me really wishes that Rick Perry would have shown up instead with a gaggle of reporters in tow.
THAT just might have been epic.
