After remaining out of public view for most of the week, President-elect Barack
Obama ventured out of his transition office this afternoon to grab some lunch at a
Chicago landmark.
Obama left his office at the Kluczynski Federal Building in the Loop at 12:22 p.m.
and headed straight for Manny's deli on the Near South Side.
The president-elect spent a little over 10 minutes inside the restaurant, where he
was joined by friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett.
Asked about a federal bailout for the auto industry, Obama responded: "I got the
corned beef."
Obama shook dozens of hands and posed for photos with the patrons and staff.
"Axe says hello," Obama said, mentioning top strategist David Axelrod, who
frequently dines at the deli.

CHICAGO - President-elect Barack Obama grabbed his lunch to go Friday and
artfully dodged a question about the auto industry woes he'll inherit.
"We got the corned beef," Obama said as he made his way around the counter at
Manny's deli. Asked by a reporter what he thought about the auto industry, he
responded with a smile: "I got the corned beef."
Manny's is a popular hangout and campaign stop for Chicago politicians. Mayor
Richard Daley stops by on occasion.
"Rahm Emanuel sends his regards," Obama told deli workers, referring to his
chief of staff. "I ordered him his corned beef."
Longtime friend Valerie Jarrett, who has been named a White House senior
adviser, accompanied Obama on his lunch outing.
The two ordered three sandwiches and some cherry pie.
