President Barack Obama took an impromptu stroll Wednesday along the National Mall, and some bystanders freaked out at the prospect of meeting their commander in chief.
“It’s good to be out,” Obama quipped to reporters. “The bear is loose.”
He greeted people along the way with handshakes, hugs and White House-branded M&M’s. One enthusiastic woman asked the President to snap a photo with her family.
“This is like the best day of my life,” she said as the picture was taken. “Someone’s gonna think you’re, like, wax.”
Watch below:
Bbbbut the GOP told me everybody hates him!
Surely they wouldn’t…lie?
Apparently, all 30 million of the Operation American Spring patriots abandoned the Mall for lunch – simultaneously.
I was in DC last week. Why couldn’t have he taken a stroll on Dupont Circle when I was there?
As cute as the video was, I couldn’t help but think the Secret Service was praying for it to end. There are just way too many idiots out there.
One quibble. The President is commander-in-chief of the military, not of regular civilians.
