Just to put a different perspective on this whole thing:
Personally, I say no one should be eating while the President is speaking. Its disrespectful. Its the PRESIDENT for crying out loud. Bush, Obama or possibly Romney...the meal should be over before they begin to speak.
Plus, doesnt the President need to eat? Why should he be forced to either hurry through his meal or eat alone later on? What is he the stinky kid who no one wants to eat with?

That's the height of arrogance to say it's disrespectful to eat while the president speaks. That's how society dinners function. It's for the organizer to decide whether he/she/they want to clear the tables before a president speaks.
And obviously, the president is more than capable of taking care of his own eating arrangements. He has more than enough handlers.
Nonsense. Republican or Democrat doesn't matter. When the PRESIDENT is giving a speech, people shouldn't be focusing on cutting the steak in front of them, or cracking lobster claws for the tasty bits ( hmmmmmm lobster )m they should be attentive. I don't care if it's Bush or Obama or Romney...the office demands respect.
