That Adorable President

The press that "awwws" together succumbs to presidential pandering together:

QMr. President --

THE PRESIDENT: Identify yourself, please.

QI'm with Bloomberg News. I'm Jay Newton-Small.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, welcome.

QThank you.

THE PRESIDENT: Do you know Scott? (Laughter.)

QVery well. We ride in a lot of vans together.

THE PRESIDENT: You might ask him why he didn't shave. But go ahead.

THE PRESS: Awww .
