More from ABC News:
Just an hour after hosting President Obama for breakfast the owner of an Akron, Ohio, restaurant is dead.
Reporters going to Ann’s Place in Akron to follow up on the President’s choice of breakfast were stunned to learn the restaurant’s owner — 70 year old Josephine “Ann” Harris — died after meeting with him over eggs, bacon and wheat toast, according to Ed Esposito of ABC’s Akron affiliate WAKR.
Some people deal with sad news with humor. Twitter users are no exception.

If that Ohio restaurant owner was feeling ill, he should have just touched the hem of Obama's garment.

I doubt Obama was directly responsible for that restaurant owner's death, but we should probably impeach him just in case.
