Obama shares relaxing, gracious moment at Clinton Global Initiative Philanthropy Fest in NYC
Barack Obama Offers Pregnant Chelsea Clinton His Motorcade
New York: President Barack Obama offered heavily pregnant Chelsea Clinton his motorcade on Tuesday, in case she needed to speed through New York city gridlock to give birth.
Obama showed no signs of strain, hours after unleashing the latest US Middle East war, in Syria, and was in jovial mood, at the annual philanthropy fest hosted by a Democrat who preceded him as president -- Bill Clinton, and a Democrat who may seek to succeed him, Hillary Clinton.
Obama played on the preoccupations of two proud grandparents-to-be and their only daughter and poked fun at New York motorists who chafe every year at traffic nightmares brought on by the annual United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
The Clintons have not named a due date for their long-awaited first grandchild.
But the former president told CNN he hoped he would be a grandfather by October 1.
Obama also paid a compliment to Hillary Clinton, who served as his secretary of state during his first term and is now whipping up a new round of presidential speculation ahead of the 2016 White House race.
"She has the post administration glow right now -- she looks much more rested," said Obama.
