“I really wasn’t planning on it.”
If you met the President of the United States of America, would your first reaction be to warn him off your girlfriend? Of course it would, Obama is a slick man and the President of the USA, and hence he is a very real threat…
Obviously this voter in Chicago felt the same when he warned President Obama not to touch his girlfriend while voting at the mid-term elections.
Obama was standing in the voting booth next to the man’s girlfriend when he made the comment, but Obama, to his credit, managed to turn a potentially awkward situation into a pretty funny one… the crafty devil.
With quick thinking like that it is no surprise that Obama managed to win the hearts of countless Americans during his original Presidential election campaign, which started all the way back in 2007… we know, it feels like only last year we were saying “Yes we can!”
The charismatic President ended the situation by giving the man’s girlfriend, Aia Cooper, a kiss on the cheek and saying: “Give me a kiss and give him something to talk about. Now he’s really jealous.”
We aspire to have the coolness of Obama in these situations one day…
