Obama takes a stroll through Central Park, shocking a hot dog vendor before catching 'Hamilton' mati
Source: NY Daily News
President Obamas whirlwind Big Apple bonding trip with his daughters included a stroll through Central Park, a hip-hop musical about the Founding Fathers, and making one hot dog vendors day.
The commander-in-chief was in town for a Friday fundraiser and to spend a little quality time with his teen daughters, Malia and Sasha.
The trio were joined by Obamas sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng and her husband Konrad Ng, and a few dozen secret service agents, as they took a short jaunt through the bucolic Sheep Meadow section of Central Park Saturday morning.
The Presidential motorcade dropped off the group shortly before noon.

Can anyone imagine a Repug approaching a hot dog vendor and asking how he's doing?

It's unclear if McCain braved any of the local food stands.

(57,936 posts)I disagree with Obama and sometimes criticize him, but I do the same with my children and my husband and others I love. And I do love the entire Obama family. Michelle is just wonderful, Obama is great, and the girls . . . . . they make me feel proud. They are such good examples to other young people in our country.
Can't say enough good.

(364 posts)The thing that you miss most when youre President
suddenly, not only have you lost your anonymity, but your capacity to just wander around and go into a bookstore, or go to a coffee shop, or walk through Central Park.
I just desperately want to take a walk through Central Park again.
Undaunted, Obama has concocted a plan: [S]o my idea has been to see if I was - if I got a disguise - could I pull this off.
Obamas friend, Margo Lion, became his accomplice in the scheme to go incognito:
Will Obama's disguise fool hotdog vendors, public?
And so Margo thought about it, and about a week later I got this fake moustache - that I guess she got from one of the makeup artists on Broadway. And I tried it on and I thought it looked pretty good.

I guess he decided to hell with the mustache, I'm on a roll! I love the hoot'en and hollering going on.
