CHEEKTOWAGA, New York, May 13, 2010 (AFP) - A gushing admirer left Barack Obama red-faced and at a loss for words Thursday, telling the president during a surprise stop at a New York restaurant that he was a "hottie."Luann Haley, 45, offered her effusive assessment during the president's impromptu visit to Duff's Famous Wings, a New York eatery known for its take on Buffalo wings, a favorite regional dish.

Obama was in the hard-hit industrial city of Buffalo to deliver a speech on the economy, which he says now is on the rebound following the recession.
The president's convoy pulled up to the restaurant for a surprise lunchtime visit much to the delight of its patrons -- especially Haley, for whom Obama apparently was the most delectable dish in the joint.
"You're a hottie with a smokin' little body," she gushed, a compliment that appeared to leave the president speechless.
When Obama gave her a little hug she became even more ecstatic. "He gave me a squeeze!" Haley squealed.
And with a glance at television cameras capturing the encounter, Haley delivered a little jibe for First Lady Michelle Obama, who did not accompany the president on his New York trip.
"Hi Michelle," she said. "Eat your heart out!" |
