Just when President Obama makes it seem that he’s not paying full attention to what’s going on in the lives of everyday Americans, he manages to find a way to reconnect, usually on the campaign trail.
It’s unclear if the president heard about Taco Bell’s free taco promotion when everyone else did — on the news — or if he was briefed by his aides, but in either case, he managed to elicit cheers from a Cleveland crowd Tuesday in advance of Game 6 of the World Series by piggybacking on the fast food chain’s promotion. Hey, he didn’t build that!

Obama: "I am aware because Francisco Lindor stole 2nd base, everyone in America gets a free taco at Taco Bell today"

See? He feels your hunger pangs. Rising insurance premiums might be keeping people from visiting the doctor as often as they might, but at least the president has given the go-ahead to hit the Taco Bell drive-thru on the way to early voting. Note, however, that Taco Bell is limiting customers to one free taco per person; Democrat voters might need some time to grasp that concept.

Obama notes Lindor's stolen base in WS = free tacos, says "if you can find the time to get a free taco, you can find the time to go vote."

Heck, tell Cousin Pookie to get off the couch and grab that free taco on the way to the polls. But while making that run for the border, don’t be fooled into running for that okey-doke … okey doke?
"This guy?" Obama asks incredulously of Trump. "Don't be bamboozled. Don't run for that okey-doke." https://t.co/J54RiABFFl pic.twitter.com/hzWF4pFK2V

People do like free stuff.
Lindor has done more for the country with that free taco steal than Obama has in 7 and a half years #LindorforPresident

Update:
It looks as though while President Obama wants Americans to go grab that free taco, Taco Bell in turn wants Americans to sit through the president’s campaign rally.
Thanks, Obama. @POTUS https://t.co/5c2JnFcQtq
