PARIS (AFP) – A US "taster" tested the food being dished up to President Barack Obama at a dinner in a French restaurant, a waiter said on Sunday.

"They have someone who tastes the dishes," said waiter Gabriel de Carvalho from the "La Fontaine de Mars" restaurant where Obama and his family turned up for dinner on Saturday night.

"It wasn't very pleasant for the cooks at first, but the person was very nice and was relaxed, so it all went well," he said on the Itele news channel.

Asked by AFP to comment, the restaurant confirmed the report.

Must be nice to be king.

Yeah it's alright to just eat the food of whatever country you are in that is given to you.
You can find something better to complain about.

Not complaining, just saying its "nice to be king," ala you're so powerful that you have your own 'taste tester' like the kings of old - that's all.

Ok if i was part of a determined terrorist plot, wouldn't it make sense to rent out a damn office space somewhere in the area where he decides to go lunch every so often and just camp there with a rifle and wait till he one day comes and gets lunch?

These are very rare and non routine events for a President. I doubt he ever goes to the same place. There is an art to unpredictability, and our secret service uses every ounce of it.

I dropped off my girlfriend in DC at her office door(couple of block from the WH) and was talking to her for a minute... and i noticed a homeless guy and another non descript guy looking at me... and then one of them walked up to my truck and said... time to move along and opened his jacket a little to reveal a badge... The secret service are badass and they know what they are doing...

Love is the answer

WHY THE HELL IS THE SECRET SERVICE HIRING HOMELESS PEOPLE?!!!!

Seriously though, I get the both of you but maybe I just really under estimate the secret service. Not going to try to test it though.

I personally believe the most likely foundation of this stance is Japanese Aikido. Which also has a similar "stance" sometimes called the natural position. It is best understood as a position of relaxed readiness. In the case of bodyguards it allows a ready position primed for action that is non-threatening to an uninitiated observer. It also signals an initiated observer that these individuals are adequately trained and ready for action

With his hands in that position, he's ideally placed to parry a knife thrust or grab a gunman's arm and force it down and away, with the full force of his upper body behind it. It doesn't hurt that most would-be assassins (at least of the American variety) are, in addition to being psychotic loners, seriously scrawny psychotic loners (Certain forum members come to mind).

And he won't have to delay him for long, just hold him up long enough for his fellow agents to react.

How can a food-taster tell if his crepes were tea-bagged?

That makes sense, but what if it was some sort of heavy metal poisoning or something and the symptons don't show immediately. Then they just both die.
