Video Gone Viral: A man told President Obama, "Don't touch my girlfriend." This is how the president responded

Another reason to love President Obama.....his sense of humour is SPOT ON!!!
Part of his legacy will include his ability to handle the unscripted moments with a high level of cool. Like the time a few weeks ago when the schoolgirl told him she was bummed he wasn’t Beyonce. And now, here’s another new encounter to add to the presidential b-roll.

On Monday, Obama was back in Chicago to cast his early vote. While he was in the booth beside a woman named Aria Cooper, the president was warned by Cooper’s fiancé, Mike Jones, “Mr. President, don’t touch my girlfriend.” Without missing a beat, Obama responded and let the jokes roll.

“‘I really wasn’t planning on it,” Obama replied, joking that Jones was ‘an example of a brother just embarrassing you for no reason.’

“A clearly embarrassed Cooper apologized for her boyfriend, telling the President she knew her boyfriend was going to ‘say something smart,’ but she didn’t know what.

“At least she would go back home with a good story as Obama joked that she would tell her friends and family, ‘I can’t believe Mike, he is such a fool.'” [CNN]

To cap it off, Obama gave Cooper a peck on the cheek and remarked “Now, he’s really jealous.” How very cool and hilarious of you, Mr. President.
