Obama Reveals His Bagel Loyalties

As Obama continues to campaign for Congress' support for the Iran nuclear deal, he spoke to Jewish-American publication The Forward's editor-in-chief Jane Eisner about the deal, Israel's safety, and accusations of anti-Semitism. But then Eisner broke out the tough questions for the president — what's his favorite flavor of bagel? THE PRESIDENT: I was always a big poppy seed guy. Q: Poppy seed. THE PRESIDENT: So the poppy seed bagels at H&H Bagels — which somebody told me they closed — BEN RHODES: They closed. Q: It's closed, yes. THE PRESIDENT: Which is shocking. RHODES: My school was a block from H&H bagels. THE PRESIDENT: I mean, I would walk down from — RHODES: Columbia. THE PRESIDENT: — Columbia just to get H&H bagels on Saturdays or on the weekends. Q: And what do you like on a poppy seed? THE PRESIDENT: Just a schmear. Q: Just a schmear. THE PRESIDENT: Lox and capers okay, but generally just your basic schmear.
