NBC News reports: While working the ropeline outside of a Boulder restaurant, a young woman spilled yogurt on the President. After realizing what had happened, the President was laughing and told the crowd, "Oh, you got me!" He asked the people around him for a towel and the women started apologizing profusely. The President assured her she now has a good story to tell.

"and the women started"
grammar is difficult.
And who cares??? I think you figured out what the story line was, didn't you? If not, let me know and I'll translate for you.
At least the man has a human face. Why be so negative about a story with a human touch to it? Are you such a hater of people of a different party line than you and so insecure you must be so pronounce with it? What is your story line descrs or is it worth writing since your undertones seem to say it all. Go find a hobby which does not involve denigrating people and trying to tie everything into politics. They do have sites for people of your caliber. I think it is called the Washington Times, the electronic version where you can rant and make innuendos all day long with like minded people. You will have everyone in agreement with you to bolster your self esteem.
Intellect, you're the one making this political. Dane was commenting on a grammatical error in a professionally written news piece.
This President is so easy to Love!
This young woman will have such a story to tell her children and grandchildren and they will tell their children.
Yeah how she's a klutz? Great story. Surprised they didn't take her down for fear of some chemical (warfare) used in the yogurt.
You're mistaking Obama with Romney in you're scenario.. Believe it, the feds would have come down hard on her per Mitten's demand and it wouldn't have been for fear, rather because a 'commoner' dared touch him.
"and the women started" "Grammar is difficult"
Must be, as they meant that the woman who did that started apologizing, but you probably already knew that, lol. Troll better
I am amazed at the amount of blindness that still exists today. No matter what both sides will always blame the other. Why is it so hard to step back and look at the bigger picture and make an educated decision about things without first putting biases on the table? Unreal. I am definitely saddened.
I do agree that a "professional writer" and more importantly a "professional editor" should produce better work for print. I cannot take a story too seriously if there are numerous grammatical errors or sentences that do not make sense. That shows a small snapshot of where everything is going...
good luck to everyone....
She does have a story and I like the way the President handled the accident.
Who said it was an accident. This is only the beginning.
SkipSmith.... what a ridiculous comment.
That really was only the beginning... of SkipSmith's perilous road towards clinical paranoia.
I'm with skipsmith. Today yogurt, tomorrow ice cream, soon we'll see food fights in Congress. Carrot cake, cream pies, tapioca... It'll be chaos! SkipSmith, I get you. Some people just don't recognize subtlety. Funny fellow.
Great. Now the republicans will claim this incident as proof that there is no hunger issue in America, because students are now dumping their excess food on Obama!
Watch him be Pres again I'll betcha
descrs-1664846, news flash: you have no sense of humor
I wouldn't mind seeing Palin in a Jell-O fight
She's dumb as a rock but hot
Itsamadworld.... remember there is no hunger in America ...according to Bush-Cheney there's only "low food security"!!!!
exactly Skip! Good point. Secrect service should have detained her. The yogurt should be analyzed. I'm serious. There are a lot of crazies out there - foreign and domestic. Secret Service. Stay in ur job. Don't sleep. They plan to stop him by any means necessary! They are seething, rabid, frothing of the mouth hatred for Obamba that is palpable, and can not be quantified. If you can not watch his back "OTHERS" will!
Grammar mistake the president would never make.
a a a a ummm aaa ta ta bu bu but he sode have the speech impediment covered.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyW9e5QdWxk
Yeah loved the loops in that video.......WTF!
Was done on purpose, obviously! She should be put on trial for attacking our president! Where was the Secret Service when this attack happened? Oh yeah, in Colombia, hiring a prostitute.
Colombia...Colorado. Close enough for government work!
Just another wing nuts theory!what a jack azz! President handled it with humor & class something the nuts would no nothing about.
Valiarius, you're confusing him with Cheney.
What could the Secret Service do? Wrestle the yogurt to the ground?
I'm guessing the Secret Service were on high alert while they confirmed it wasn't a deliberate distraction, and they may have spoken to the woman after the incident.
Next on MSN: BREAKING NEWS: Washington reports hostile attack made on President with Live Active Cultures results in suprising surge in Dannon stock. Scientists "alarmed" at new evidence of zomebie-like disease symptoms linked to Culture extraction and re-engineering. Drones over Iraq find mountains of empty yogurt tubs in a desert only a week later. 40,000 Americans riot in front of the Go-Gurt factory in Anywhere, US. National Guard called in. US reviews its current policies on Live Active Culture manufacturing. US Secret Service to Yoplait: "You're next."
Now when a Baby throws up on you, you know you're doing good.
There's nothing like having a Baby throw up on you in Public!
I feel so sorry for this lady--sounds like something that would happen to me. Yes, she has a story to tell, but will she be too embarrassed to tell it?
LOL PEGGY, Yes I'm sure she'd like to dig a hole, push this story in, jump in on top of it and hide for a while until the storm of being renamed "Grace" and "the yogurt assassin" from her friends dies down..
Then I half to wonder why the girl next to him has her panty's down? Skin don't look like the misses.
lol Why are her panty's down?
If you think those are panties, then I think you might want to get your eyes checked.
WOW! You really have class wolf, it must run rampart in the tea pee tribe.
If it happened to Romney, he would buy the yogurt company, sell off the assets and close it down, then put his money in one of his off shore bank accounts he is using to avoid paying his taxes.
That reminds me, I suppose video is still on u tube. Pres Bush throwing up on the Japanese man.......! A real classic.
Thats a silly question, She has them down so he can sniff out whether this was intentional or not.
You must be blind. Those are red and white Nike shorts. Duh.
How gracious of him. I would love to see and meet him.
Been there done that. The obvious first, pretty darn tall, shoulders are pretty narrow, large hands but they feel more like bones inside skin. Was weird shaking his hand. Hes a very well spoken man, when speaking he doesn't come across as over powering.. seems to have a humbleness. I haven't seem much of his speeches, honestly don't care too, but his words seem well thought out before he says them.. like I said hes very well spoken. For the event there were no teleprompters or reading from paper. Not gonna beat around the bush, he seemed very likeable. I enjoyed meeting President Obama when he was President Elect and working to support him and his staff. Doesn't mean I agree with a lot of policies coming out the pipeline but meeting our President was an honor, one that everyone should have the chance to experience.
I hope you get the opportunity to meet our President.
Beverly,Me too!
How does someone get close enough to the president to spill yogurt on him? Isnt this a security problem? Fired to many secret service agents i guess.
The same way they get close enough to shake his hand.
Hes very cool. Thats why I like the man.
What did you expect? Did you think he would punch her out? He may be an ACORN alumnus, but he's not stupid.
Cool and calculating on how he can screw the country next.
Racist Charley?
" ... Racist Charley? ... "
Very well could be. But a better guess is that SkipSmith is. Or maybe just another ignorant hater. Who has no clue as to why he hates the man.
Fox News: not racist, but the majority of racists watch Fox News. (simpsons)
Now if someone spilled Yogurt on Malibu Ken Romney, he would be having a Hissy Fit...
Go sell crazy somewhere else, ted.
No he wouldn't. Romney would handle it the same way Obama did.
I think Romney would have to ask someone what yogurt is.
No...Romney would have one of his assistants clean the yogurt off of him.
Then pretend to feel the lady's pain.
Romney would handle it the same but follow it how he raised with a hard working family in the yogurt business..
lol, oh look someone spilled yogurt on me! Don't worry I've spilt stuff on people before mostly after I fire them. I like spilling things on people that worked for me.
Romney would have questioned who made the yogurt with a confused look.
" ... Go sell crazy somewhere else, ted. ... "
Sorry, but you got that wrong. This is SkipSmiths corner to sell crazy on. But I guess you agree with old Skippie.
" ... No he wouldn't. ... "
Yes, you are right.
He'd just wait until tomorrow when FoxNews started spreading the rumor that it was a deliberate attack on Mitt by an agent of the Obama campaign. And insist that the Secret Service and the DOJ start and investigation into the attack. To determine just who in the Obama Administration is responsible for this outrage.
Then he would appear coming out of some Hospital somewhere in a wheelchair. And tell the press that he'll be fine in a few days, that it's really not a big deal.
Wing nuts attack in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...... and .........
Psssttt! Got you!
"HOW DARE THAY SPILL THAT ON ME!!!! I'M TOO RICH FOR THIS CRAP." why do we even have to meet these simple people?
I don't think he would have had a hissy fit but one of his aids would have probaby scrambled to have cleaned off his shoe. He probably would have made a gaff like he did with the cookie incident because he's just not good speaking off the cuff. President Obama and the First Lady are class acts all the way around. They represent the USA well in the White House, as a married couple and as parents. They are a great example, too, in their volunteerism, both past and present.
Romney:
"You know, I love the yogurt here in Denver. There's just something about Denver - the yogurt is just the right taste. Not just the big vanilla and chocolate flavors, but all of the smaller yogurt flavors as well. Some of my best friends own yogurt companies, so I know what I'm talking about. Don't worry about the suit - it only cost a few thousand dollars. That's not very much money."
I don't know enough about Romney to make a comment
Clinton should have thought .... No sirs, that is just yogurt on her dress !!
At least he didn't gripe at her that it wasn't homemade! He is cool...
How was he supposed to act, angry and cursing the woman out? He handled the situation the way any politician would. Non story.
President Romney would probably have her arrested and charged.
The Pres. handled it as well as anyone would have; but papag, your drivel is why it is so hard to have any kind of conversation.
papag-3094648 - Well at least you've accepted the inevitable...
I'm usually the one trying to have some kind of conversation but that shot was just too hard to pass up.
If you think 'President Romney' is inevitable you need to get your head checked. He has no ability to unite the right. Nobody wants to be his running mate. No moderate will vote for him, they have no idea what he stands for (if anything). Shouldn't be too hard for Obama to hang around for 4 more years when Romeny is the best the GOP can put up against him.
They said it was on a rope line, so I'm guessing she was at the front of the crowd against the rope. Probably was trying to take a picture or something and didn't realize her yogurt had tipped. But the president is a very gracious man and she will indeed be able to tell how she had a close encounter with the president and he didn't get mad at her.
Reassess this incident; it has reminded me the Robert Kennedy was walking through the kitchen of the hotel but the guy dressing in kitchen's staff shot him and killed him inside the kitchen.
Please do not let that happens again.
I'm glad it wasn't me. I'd hate to have yoghurt spilled on my clothes. That would make a mess.
The term "fan" bothers me. Why not call her a "voter" or "citizen?" When we become "fans" of politicians, we are in deep do-do.
who cares jeddyrocks... this is a "feel-good" article. Enjoy it.
looks like she had a wardrobe malfunction.... what is that hanging, or are her shorts so short, she did this to have him bend over and have a look??
If you look closely, you will see a black Nike shirt under the green shirt and over her white shorts. Some of you idiots are not only salacious, but plain dumb and with nothing but nastiness to direct at the President. Grow up!
Prude much? This style is not exactly new and is generally what people wear when exercising or what young people (generally college age or younger) often wear when it's warm out and they want simple, comfortable clothes.
They look like either red or orange Nike shorts with a white trim. They just look like regular athletic/running shorts to me.
Wow, queenslabyia's a fashion critic. In the vein of Joan Rivers. It's always funny how people that are critical of other's clothing usually dress like they have nothing but KMart to choose from.
And this is a headline news story....cmon. Oh, did Obama get hurt, poor thing....give me a fricken break.
And you are probably one of those who bitches that there is nothing but negative news in the news. Can't you just enjoy a feel-good article or refrain from commenting altogether????
Times like this, I wisher there was a thumbs down button.
I love it when people who take the time to read an article and then comment... "who cares" LOL
I think that a crowd of people should of gotten together and thrown Rotten Tomatoes and what ever else they could find, and as the grand finale someone pour HOT Coffee on his Lap!! and yes if your wondering I don't like this so-called President. he has done nothing for us, and he travels all over the world on our Dimes, and wonders why the world is hurting so much. Duh! stop going places and do your Job if this is Possible!!
Your statement is close to a threat there Pac-Man. You may want to tone it down a notch.
Pac-man... and YOU are one of the biggest problems in America today. Your total lack of respect for anyone, including yourself, is one of the biggest problems in our society today. You may not agree with policies but you should not make it so personal with threatening suggestions. Maybe anger management classes would help you...
wow pac you truly are an idiot
Why should he do anything for you! Remember your tea party values ( We hate government ) Keep government out of our lives etc.Like most teapees for you its okay,just not for others! You guys are the FIRST ONES with your hands out.
Pac man also says Zimmerman was innocent and provoked by this black kid and says who is to say the hooded kid did not have a weapon.....wellllll that'sa easy...only you think that Pac man. Provoked....hooded....had a weapon.......throw tomato, ...anything else, pour hot coffee.....you need to get those issues examined ...very soon. Threatening the president.........
Pac Man Isn't there something on FUX you're missing.
Pac Man, would you be Ok with him taking one week off each month like Boehner's House does? How about a month off for Easter, three months off for summer or another month off for Thanksgiving and Christmas? Seems like Congress should stay in town and do its job.
" ... I don't like this so-called President. ... "
But I bet that you really loved G.W., didn't you. A man who REALLY wasn't President.
And the man who drove the economy into the ditch. Among many, many other things that have done real damage to this country. A man who can not travel to many countries, because he will be arrested for the crimes he has committed.
But here's why "this so-called President" is a better human being then you are. Because in spite of your comment, he would still like you.
But go figure.
Graciously and elegantly handled, as usual. Mr Obama is clearly a great guy and truly cares about people.
I can't say with any amount of honesty that I like Obama. Granted, I'm an equal opportunity politican hater so it's a given that I just don't like him in that regard. However, I must admit that he handles situations such as these rather gracefully. I'm curious how much of a spin if any is going to be thrown on that woman's story. Iraqis throw shoes at Bush and end up in prison. Americans throw yogurt at Obama and he just shrugs it off. I love being an American.
Ezra... and please tell me where it says anyone "threw" yogurt at the President??? A woman accidentally spilled her yogurt on the President.... big difference!!!
I wasn't actually intending to accuse anyone of throwing anything. It was meant to be a humorous, even sarcastic statement. I didn't realize that I should feel obligated to spell every little detail out so that noone gets their panties in a wad. Do people such as yourself really derive some sort of sick satisfaction at scouring the internet for little things to nitpick at?
@ezram
Very well put, and a very good analogy
I'm glad you think he seems like a decent guy. I wonder what about Obama makes you just dislike him so much. I'm guessing it's something that makes him different than Bush I, Bush II, Clinton, Romney . . . hmm. Is it the tie color? No, that's not it.
I wonder what it could be that just makes him so unlikeable.
You seem to have nailed it right on the head. Many people are simply closet racists and can't help it and unfortunately, aren't aware that they are. They have Black, Hispanic and Asian friends and agree that people of minority are not allowed to play on the same field as everyone else, unless that field is the football field or the basketball arena, but gods no, not as President of the freakin' United States! White man's territory! Me, I'm so happy to see someone other than a rich, stuffy White man in the White House, I don't know if I can ever go back. Mitt Romney is a perfect example. He talks about a car elevator in his garage for his multiple vehicles. He talks about firing people. He talks about women like they are another minority. And he refers to his wife raising their children as if other women without the financial comfort she enjoys reflects on poor working women who worry about daycare while struggling to feed their families. He's way out of touch. A perfect Republican candidate. I'm gonna miss Obama after he leaves office in 2012.
my, my, i would of melted along with the yogurt. we have a handsome president! and very sincere!
We enjoyed 80 degree weather here in Co, I didn't go to see the President, but I did see Candidate Obama in 08 he is warm friendly, down to earth. There is a world of difference between Romney and Obama, Romney is not comfortable, as we all saw with cookie gate! just joking now guy's!
Seriously I'm sure Romney would have handled the spilling of the yogurt ok, but he isn't a warm friendly guy, I'm sure he does much better in a board room, with the game plan all worked out for what Co, they will take over and dismantle.
Obama's lucky that's all that was spilled on him.
sshoss1, some would construe that as a threat. I'd advise you to tone it down.
Yep. If someone spilled anything on Dick Cheney, that someone would have been detained and waterboarded. This President seems to have toned the confrontive BS down quite a bit. I guess he's not insecure like the previous regime. Or their supporters.
