Hottie

The Obama came to town, primarily to celebrate the entrepreneurialship of some guy in the east side. The company apparently makes whatever you want them to, but their big claim to fame is the manufacture of salad bars. OK, but didn't that kinda go out of style in the 80's?

Being The Obama, he decides to stop on the way in to have some lunch.

OK....Let's see....Buffalo and ribs? No. That's not it.

Buffalo and fried chicken? No. But, it's close.

I know. Buffalo and chicken wings.

So, where does he stop? The "Anchor Bar", like every other tourist? No, better go to the place that won the last "Best Wings in Buffalo" contest. Duffs.

He (and the entire entourage) pull in and order a single medium, crispy.

OK. No challenge there. Best not get them too hot, otherwise you'll look like a fool for not getting a pitcher of beer to go with them. Up runs a lady, and before anyone can stop her, she says The Obama is a "hottie".

Oops.

Everyone in the world who has access to Youtube now knows about this women and her opinion of The Obama. I think it's kinda cute. Obviously, my opinion isn't shared by everyone, including quite a few locals who decided to write in to the News.

Well, folks. I got news for y'all. This is Buffalo. It ain't some foreign capital. It's not some town where the unemployment rate is less than 4%. We all don't live in $1M homes. This, my friends, is the "City of Good Neighbors", the "Queen City", the home of the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres. We say things from the heart. We live and die from the heart. We give when it counts, and then we give some more. If you have a flat, this is the place you want to be stranded by the side of the road. 'Cause that's the way we roll.

So, don't chastise someone for getting all excited about seeing The Obama in person at Duffs. He's the one that stopped there. What did you want the lady to do instead? Just stand there and pee her pants. She wore her heart on her sleeve, just like the rest of us do.

Hell, if he'd have stopped at "Arty's", nobody would have given up their stool for him. To be sure, they would've bought him a beer or two. But, he would have had to buy a couple rounds himself. Otherwise, people would've talked.
