Wherever Barack Obama goes, he is accompanied by a huge entourage of aides, Secret Service and campaign staff.
But
when the President goes shopping, he still has to handle his own cash,
as he showed on Saturday when he bought sausages from a Wisconsin store
following a campaign stop in key swing state.
Mr
Obama pulled out a wad of bills that looked almost large enough to make
a dent in the national debt as he browsed for pork treats alongside
Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett.

Despite his huge entourage, the President clearly has no one to carry his wallet for him
After his visit to Usinger's
Famous Sausage, the President was given a bratwurst hot dog in a pretzel
roll with spicy mustard by a local deli worker.
The
commander-in-chief appeared to enjoy his meaty snack, giving an
emphatic thumbs-up to supporters and photographers as he chowed down on
the delicacy.
He also managed to meet deli
customers who were visiting from Ohio - another swing state seen as a
must-win if Mr Obama is to stay in the White House after November's
election.
