A power grab in San Francisco

Meera Pal, wtop.com

WASHINGTON – While on a three-day trip to the West Coast for fundraising last week, President Obama got more than he ordered at a San Francisco Chinatown restaurant.

As he was waiting for his Chinese food from Great Eastern Restaurant, Obama took time to pose with the public.

One woman, who was considerably shorter than the Commander-in-Chief, posed with Obama and took hold of what was within arms reach. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the president’s tukis.

It appears Secret Service did not feel the woman was a threat, based on the photographic evidence.
