Barack Obama briefly attended a lunch with winners of a presidential sweepstakes earlier today, and confessed that he complained to his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, about getting a tie for Father’s Day. Via the pool report:
Actual time inside the restaurant was brief. Overheard the president talking to [J]anet Jones, whose father was a [T]uskeegee airman, about the movie “[R]ed Tails” about the [T]uskeegee Airmen. Then he asked [J]im Heath if his family was going to spoil him. He told the president that when he was getting on the plane his wife told him she forgot to send him a fathers day card.
The president responded, “There was one year that I got a tie or something and I said why is it that everybody makes a big deal about Mother’s day and fathers day seems to be the forgotten holiday? And [M]ichelle looks at me and she says, let me tell you what, every day is father’s day. You’re always getting a treat.”
