President Obama surprised patrons of The Sink during an unannounced stop at the Boulder, Col. dive bar and restaurant on Tuesday. The visit quickly devolved into strangeness when a group of students left their PBRs to pose for a picture with the president, only to realize no one had a camera. “Who’s got a camera though?” Obama asked, laughing. “Somebody’s got to take it.”
Obama worked the room, which was decorated with a drawing of a nude woman posing for a nude painter. One man handed the president a business card and told him that he builds things. Obama wished him luck. One 19-year-old business major described to him her idea for a cheese fries restaurant, which would offer fries with different cheeses and toppings. He told her he’d be on the lookout for it.
Throughout his 20-minute visit, patrons shouted things at the president, including, “Obama 2012!” One student yelled to him that she’s studying journalism.
Obama was greeting folks outside when a young woman spilled yogurt on his pants. He wiped himself off with a towel and told her, “Getting yogurt on the president, you’ve got a story to tell.”
She replied, “I’m very embarrassed.”
