President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their two daughters Sasha and Malia traveled to Nancy's Restaurant on the waterfront of the Oak Bluffs section of Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday afternoon.
Crowds gathered to watch as the president, wearing his White Sox baseball cap, noted the abundance of Red Sox caps. He and the First Lady shook hands and posed for pictures with folks in the crowd. The president ordered from the take-out window of the snack bar section of the eatery.
"I love your watch," one woman told the First Lady, referencing a purple watch on her left wrist.
"Oh, thank you,” the First Lady said. “It was a gift.”
She gestured towards her husband, who was shaking hands behind her.
"I think somebody told him,” she said.
"Where's my wife?" the president asked at one point.
Crowds shouted for her attention.
"How you guys doing?" she asked. "Drying off? Finally."

Given the type of people we're dealing with, there's a reasonable chance Obama was speaking about some kind of midget sex-workers at New England speakeasy.

“”I love your watch,” one woman told the First Lady”
After getting her attention, she should have followed up with “is it a Sask Watch?”

What? Obama says... people are unemployed and need food?
..... Let them eat scampi!

“I love your watch..is that Mickey or Minnie?” Don't laugh. My wife has an original Disney Mickey Mouse watch from the early '60s that hasn't been out of the box. It's worth beaucoup dollars.
