It may be April Fools Day, but Sen. Barack Obama was acting like it was
Valentine’s Day. He was in full charm mode while touring the Tama
Manufacturing plant, a JC Penny supplier of made-in-the-USA clothing in
Allentown.
Obama was especially flirtatious today, winking and grinning at the
female workers who were swooning behind their cell phone cameras.
Tama President Mark Fogelman told quality inspector Carol Davis not to
be nervous when she talked to Obama, even though he was “only the next
president” greeting her. Obama smiled ear to ear as he looked at her
work, saying: “These look pretty comfortable, this is all pretty leisure
wear.”
After the presidential hopeful walked away, Davis let out a “Whoo!” and
fanned herself.
“It got hot in here. He ain’t bad looking either,” she told your pooler.
“I hope he wins,” Davis said, adding she was not registered to vote. “I
wish all of them good luck, just bring the troops home is all.”
During the 25-minute tour, Obama called a woman “sweetie,” and thanked
her in spanish, then told another woman who let him know she is from
Thailand, “I love Thai food.”
But Obama lavished compliments on dancewear manufacturer Marisa
Cerveris, who gave him a black and pink leotard for Malia and Sasha,
explaining she was once in the New York City ballet.
“You look like you might be a dancer,” Obama told her, later adding:
“You’re big time.”
“You’re gorgeous,” he told Cerveris after glancing at one of her old ballet photos.
“I was,” she replied.
“You still are,” he countered, asking the crowd, “Isn’t she beautiful?”
and answering his own question: “Absolutely.”
Holding the leotards, Obama thanked her, saying, “This is such a nice
gift,” and telling her that his daughters attend a Chicago dance
theater.
“They have been going there since they were three,” he said, back when
the dance moves were little more than “just spinning around.” He
punctuated his joke with a full twirl.
“I don’t miss a recital,” he said.
But, “Sometimes they’ll be like the tenth performance … everybody’s
else’s kid is cute but let’s face it, you probably wouldn’t sit there
for an hour and a half,” he said, laughing.
Later, Cerveris, who also danced on Broadway, told your pooler “He is
the best.”
She complimented his art policy and said she believes he will fix NAFTA.
