Being president of the United States doesn’t exclude you from running into trouble with a jealous fiancé.
President Obama stood next to Mike Jones’ fiancée, Aia Cooper, while casting his early vote in Chicago on Monday.
“Mr. President, don’t touch my girlfriend,” Jones exclaimed as he walked by Obama and Cooper, according to CNN.
Obama responded, “I really wasn’t planning on it,” joking that Jones was “an example of a brother just embarrassing you for no reason.”
After voting, Obama pecked Cooper on the cheek, who told CNN affiliate WLS-TV, “On the cheek, just the cheek — please, Michelle, don’t come after me — just the cheek!”
“Now he’s really jealous,” Obama told Cooper, who apologized after saying she knew her boyfriend was going to “say something smart.”
Obama was in Chicago on Sunday and Monday campaigning for incumbent Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, who faces a tough reelection against Republican Bruce Rauner.
