It gave me goosebumps.; January 10, 2009 6:48 PM

Margali said...: So that's what it's like to have a President whose approval rating is larger than his hat-size. LOL

That was so much fun, I had to watch it over again. :); January 10, 2009 6:59 PM
eve said...: Just as it was today, he will never ever eat in out like this without lots of people taking his picture.

Hard to imagine what that would be like for the whole REST of one's life.

Glad he is willing to be a public figure!; January 10, 2009 7:50 PM
Clancy said...: Wow. Just strange. My initial thoughts were these: when I lived around the corner from Ben's, and used to frequent it, I was usually the only white guy in the place. Looks like the same folks who priced us out of the neighborhood at least enjoy a good hot dog.

BTW, the chili at Ben's ain't so good. Pass it on.; January 10, 2009 8:18 PM

Dr. President said...: awwww thank you, GL!; January 10, 2009 8:39 PM

Dr. President said...: Lord have mercy did you see the way him and Fenty did that pound and slap on the back? That shit was cool as hell. And I also love when he was ordering his food and he asked "you got my tea? Nah I'm straight" LOL

AHHH Obama is HERE!!!!! He's in my city I can't believe it!; January 10, 2009 8:45 PM
Dr. President said...: I mean seriously guys, you should see this town right now, it's like the Beatles landed in New York in

Prez, check out the comments at my YouTube on this one. They LOVE that and want it to be his new catch phrase.; January 10, 2009 8:48 PM
YOLA said...: Dr. President I thought the same thing about the "pound and slap on the back" and all that screaming! Oh, our guy is so cool!; January 10, 2009 9:58 PM
Dr. President said...: GL,
YESSSS!!!! that is so cool! I also love when he said "Where da food at?" HAHA; January 10, 2009 10:05 PM

I hope he's able to get out with the real people like this once in a while after the 20th.; January 10, 2009 10:37 PM
