President Obama, a married man who wears his wedding ring constantly, was hit on by a fan in Buffalo, New York.
The woman who openly admired President Obama’s physique during his visit to Buffalo on Thursday has found herself catapulted into the national spotlight, with lots of buzz — and criticism — on the Internet and a “you’re a hottie” joke in the opening monologue of Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show.”
“People tell me I should think before I open my mouth,” Luann Haley, a single mom who works as a bill collector, told WGZR-TV in Buffalo. She said she was “just trying to be funny, and I almost regret that now.”
The television station said Haley turned down a request to appear on a national morning news show Friday morning.
According to reports, the woman said to President obama, “You’re a hottie with a smokin’ little body.” Luann Haley, is 45 and made the comments to the leader of the free world, with cameras capturing every moment as the president made an unannounced stop at Duff’s Famous Wings for a quick bite to eat.
Obama responded with a big hug, which made Haley swoon. (”He gave me a squeeze,” she said afterward.) And Obama reminded her that Michelle — his wife — would be watching on television.
“That’s alright,” Haley said.
Asked what he got at Duffs, Obama said, “Wings! This is the wing capital.”
Obama ordered his wings medium, but later called out to the restaurant staff that he would have five regular, five extra spicy. They cost $10.82
