A young woman, Aia Cooper, was voting next to Obama when her boyfriend, Mike Jones, decided to make a wise crack: "Mr. President, don't touch my girlfriend."
Obama, laughing, replied: "There's an example of a brother just embarrassing me for no reason."

Obama gave her a kiss. "Give him something to talk about."
