Obama chides Republicans for figuratively running up the deficit tab and then leaving without paying the bill...

... then does exactly that to a local diner the next day.

Let's first read what he had to say on Tuesday from RealClearPolitics:

"This notion that somehow we caused the deficits is just wrong. It's just not true. Anybody who looks at the math will tell you it's not true. If they start trying to give you a bunch of facts and figures suggesting that it's true, what they're not telling you is they baked all this stuff into the cake with those tax cuts and a prescription drug plan that they didn't pay for and the wars," he said.

"So all of this stuff is baked in, with all the interest payments for it, it's like somebody goes to the restaurant, orders a big steak dinner, martini, all that stuff and then just as you're sitting down, they leave and accuse you of running up the tab. That's what they do," he said.

Here's what happened the very next day, at a "Responsible Father's Day Luncheon" no less:

Amid the bustle of President Obama’s surprise stop for barbecue Wednesday the White House apparently overlooked one key detail: the bill.

Celebrating Father’s Day early, the president had lunch with two service members and two local barbers at Kenny’s BBQ on Capitol Hill.

As the group chatted about fatherhood, the president enjoyed a steaming plate of pork ribs with hot sauce, collard greens, red beans and rice and cornbread.

The bill for the president and his four guests was $55.58, but was left unpaid at the point of sale, according to pool reports.

White House Staff later paid the bill, cleaning up after our Bumbler-in-chief.

Something the rest of us will have to do come November.

“If they start trying to give you a bunch of facts and figures suggesting that it's true…”

Yes, those pesky facts…
