The President went to Chicago and decided to do some early voting. For those who are still unaware, the midterm election is just a couple of weeks away on November 4th!
Apparently, a young couple decided to vote early too and found themselves voting right next to the president. As the president began the process of casting his ballots and minding his own business, the girl’s boyfriend walk past and advised the president not to try anything with his girlfriend.
“Don’t touch my girlfriend,” the guy said to the President. He was later identified as ‘Mike.’
“I really wasn’t planning on it,” Obama said, as he joked with the woman voting in the next booth. She was later identified as Aia Cooper, Mike’s girlfriend. “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?” the president asked.
“Mike,” Cooper said.
“‘I can’t believe Mike. He’s such a fool,’” Obama said, impersonating the woman.
“He really is,” she agreed.
Obama continued: “‘I was just mortified. But, fortunately, the president was nice about it. So it’s all right.’”
“I am freaking out right now,” she said, laughing.
The president got the last laugh, though.
“Give me a kiss and give him something to talk about,” the president said, as he gave Cooper a hug and a peck on the cheek. “Now he’s really jealous.”
But Cooper downplayed the moment.
“He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Just the cheek,” she told ABC’s Chicago station WLS. “Please, Michelle, don’t come after me!”
