President Obama made a quick stop for ice cream today, minus his “homeboy Lincoln,” after his campaign speech in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

What is it with President Obama and waffles? Laser-like focus!

The face he is making begs for a caption, doesn’t it? Criminy!

This Twitter user is not on board with the chocolate chip mint choice.

Also, wait a minute. What, no Vice President Biden along for the ice cream run, in his aviators, this time? Good thing the president didn’t opt for Swiss chocolate almond ice cream instead. Swiss things are the root of all evil, ever, apparently. Unless it is a Little Debbie Swiss Bankroll.
