Stop the presses: The New York Times has published a column about Obama’s nighttime routine.
Yes, he eats exactly seven salted almonds, every night.
With such an in-depth, riveting piece, I see a Pulitzer for this writer in the very near future…Not.
Via NYT: Obama After Dark: The Precious Hours Alone
The emails arrive late, often after 1 a.m., tapped out on a secure BlackBerry from an email address known only to a few. The weary recipients know that once again, the boss has not yet gone to bed.
The late-night interruptions from President Obama might be sharply worded questions about memos he has read. Sometimes they are taunts because the recipient’s sports team just lost….
Mr. Obama calls himself a “night guy,” and as president, he has come to consider the long, solitary hours after dark as essential as his time in the Oval Office. Almost every night that he is in the White House, Mr. Obama has dinner at 6:30 with his wife and daughters and then withdraws to the Treaty Room, his private office down the hall from his bedroom on the second floor of the White House residence.
There, his closest aides say, he spends four or five hours largely by himself….
The president also watches ESPN, reads novels or plays Words With Friends on his iPad.
Michelle Obama occasionally pops in, but she goes to bed before the president, who is up so late he barely gets five hours of sleep a night. For Mr. Obama, the time alone has become more important….
Seven Almonds
To stay awake, the president does not turn to caffeine. He rarely drinks coffee or tea, and more often has a bottle of water next to him than a soda. His friends say his only snack at night is seven lightly salted almonds.

“Michelle and I would always joke: Not six. Not eight,” Mr. Kass said. “Always seven almonds.”….
HT Twitchy.
Why report on the way the President avoids addressing jihadism when you can mention he eats 7 almonds at night? https://t.co/Cchsqrsx6l

Where’s the followup question; Is this how you spent the night of Benghazi?
And besides that, Obama has never liked being alone with people who will question him. All those fund raisers where he wouldn’t eat with the donors. Article does read as Chauncey the almonder.
Sorry, POSUS…as much as you hope and pray for this specific diet, it’s not going to help you grow any of your own.
Lightly salted? We’re supposed to be impressed? Michelle can’t find him any unsalted almonds?
Here’s the story the NYT won’t report:

America elected a self-centered perpetual teenager happy to be sent to his room.
He’s got to break his Ramadan fast somehow.
LOL!!
Sheesh, Val sure is strict about his diet.
ROFL!
