Obamas Eat Out For First Time Since Win

Barack and Michelle Obama had their first dinner out since the election. The pool report:

Barack and Michelle Obama left dinner at Spiaggia at 11pm Saturday night after a roughly three hour dinner.

Dressed in a dark suit and white shirt, Obama waved to an ecstatic crowd gathered across the street as he and Michelle rushed through the cold wind.

Michelle, wearing an elegant black knee-length jacket and tall black boots, held her coat closed as she walked to the waiting SUV.

The crowd continued to rejoice, hugging one another and cheering as the motorcade pulled off.
It was the couple's first dinner out together since his election victory, and they selected the same restaurant where they spent their anniversary and Michelle's birthday this year.

Spiaggia is located at 980 N. Michigan Ave.
The motorcade headed through light traffic on Lakeshore Drive to the Obama's home, where it arrived at 11:18pm.

American's are excited to have a President they recognize as human!

[JWoode]

It is nice... I always imagined George tipping his head back, dislocating his jaw, and swallowing whole mouse.

[Sparty1]

Damn! That's funny and cold all at same time.

Good night, time to watch the Giants stomp the Eagles out!

[BannedInBoston]

Grow up.

[notconfindtweenhatnboots]

We love the Giants and the Eagles. Both NYC and Phillie did a great job in the election. America thanks you both.

[Happylib]

EXTRA, EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT....President elect and first lady eat food. What a shocking story. I wonder if their kids eat as well. I cannot wait to find out.

[afrographia]

LOL...I had to kind of laugh too. It is a little ridiculous to report something like this. But you know what, this is a ridiculously happy time, so at least from now until inauguration, I'm going to be giddy at all Obama news, trivial as it may be.

[BannedInBoston]

Served by t.errorist waiters, lol....

[CalliDem]

How fun that they got to go out for a meal TOGETHER w/o the kids :) I know they love them will all their hearts but they need some time alone as a couple

[garcia83]

ok, you can stop stalking him now...

[DubiousAtBest]

[dajay]

Obama puts food in his mouth.

Obama chews food.

Obama swallows food.

Obam

Glad they had the chance to get out together and spend some time being themselves.

They know their privacy is forever gone, but they still manage to come across as everyday people out for a fun evening together.

Heh - we should start a rumor that Bill Ayers paid for their meal and watch the tr0//s and FauxSpeakers implode.

[pillgirl]

while they will probably not really have a normal life for a long time, hopefully people get over hanging on their every move soon, and leave them alone a little bit. right now they are definitely the biggest celebrities in the country.

[SunshineDaydream]

they are more than celebrities, they are the new "american royalty" - it is my guess they not only expected this, but have grown used to it over the past couple of years.

[afrographia]

I'll chill on my Obama giddiness and nosiness sometime after inauguration. After that, I'll focus less on trivial personal matters, and more on policy issues. And hey, I would rather our children think of the Obamas as celebrities rather than Paris or Britney.

[UWNBM]

This kind of story is very sad...smacks of absurd celebrity obsessiveness...

The Obamas should not be followed around like they are rock stars or Britney...

Unfortunately, Huffpo and MSM have created this aura around them that is both unnatural and unfair to them and the children.

[dajay]

Yes, I agree. It does have a Britney Spears aura about it. Following them when they are going out to dinnner.

LIke this is news. How ridiculous.

Ha, that's what happens when you pull your pants up too high.

[afrographia]

That's my iPhone wallpaper right now!

[qdog112]

After 8 years we can now breathe again.

Nothing wrong with showing our adoration of the first family.

It's all good.

[gjtsimpson]

As an American I am so proud of my new Commander in Chief! They are a beautiful couple with beautiful kids and the way they look at each other is inspiring. I sleep better at night knowing that THEY represent our country to the world. BRAVO!!!!

[Canuknotusa]

Th US media needs to LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE!

My God! - You'd think they were royalty!!!!

So much public attention will ruin the Obamas - LET THEM LIVE THEIR LIVES without you idiots pointing cameras and watching them go to a restaurant from across the street.

For Heaven's sake!! Get a life!

[dct1999]

Do you seriously believe that they will be left alone by the media? They are now the the most famous couple in the world, how about you drink a nice cold cup of reality.

[Canuknotusa]

C'mon! - the most famous couple in the world?

You Americans - full of hubris!

[hrhkat]

do they get to live rent free at the white house? maybe thats why they are smiling.
