Would the price of organic arugula become a Key Economic Indicator under an Obama Administraton ?
According to the Chicago Tribune:
“Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?” [Obama] asked. “I mean, they’re charging a lot of money for this stuff.”
That comment came despite the fact that Iowa does not have any Whole Foods stores, nor do most of its farmers typically grow any arugula.

Absolutely! In fact, arugula futures have shot through the roof even in these tough economic times.
His comment illustrates perfectly how out of touch he is with the middle class. Whole Foods & arugula? Gimme a break.
