Campaign mode for Bush?

While visiting Roswell, NM to make a speech at the convention center there yesterday, President Bush popped into the Nuthin' Fancy Restaurant to get a to-go meal of ribs, cornbread, fried okra and buttermilk pie (All of which sound delicious! Except I thought that President Bush was giving up desserts as a New Year's resolution.) which he paid for out of his own wallet.
CNN thinks it's just the President in his reelection campaign mode, but I can tell he just knows where to find the good eats and good friends!
That same day, on his trip out West, the Commander in Chief took a few moments to kick back with some old baseball buddies at a Mexican restaurant in AZ (Again, I love his taste in food.)

President George W. Bush dines with Arizona Diamondbacks manager Bob Brenly(L) and Jerry Colangelo, managing general partner of the Diamondbacks, at a Mexican restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, January 21, 2004.
Just about all Texans, like the President and I, hold our rib dinners and our Mexican food dear.
