Everyone can get a little possessive when their partners get attention from elsewhere, but surely you don’t square up to the President of the United States?
Barack Obama had quite a bizarre moment on Monday (October 20), when a voter’s boyfriend warned him not to touch his girlfriend, as she was standing him next to him while casting his ballot in Chicago.
The man walked by Obama, saying: “Don’t touch my girlfriend.”
“I really wasn’t planning on it,” the perplexed commander-in-chief told voter Aia Cooper, who laughed at the bizarre remark from her partner.
Obama then proceeded to mock his rival, saying: “There’s an example of a brother just embarrassing you, just for no reason whatsoever.”
“And now you’ll be going back home and talking to you friends; what’s his name?”
“Mike,” Cooper said.
“I can’t believe Mike. He’s such a fool,” Obama said.
“He really is,” she agreed.
Impersonating Cooper, he joked: “‘I was just mortified. But, fortunately, the president was nice about it. So it’s all right.'”
“I am freaking out right now,” Cooper replied.
The President then gave Cooper a hug and a peck on the cheek, saying: “Give me a kiss and give him something to talk about. Now he’s really jealous.”
Speaking to ABC’s Chicago station WLS, Cooper said: “He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Just the cheek. Please, Michelle, don’t come after me!”
Mike is just lucky that they weren’t voting next to Bill Clinton.
