Obama: “Everybody Just Pretend Like I'm Not Here”

The motorcade pulled into Kozy Corners, a cash-only local diner with square tables(daily specials starting at $4.65). In the parking lot outside, Obama knelt to speak to a young boy with spiky blue-tipped hair.

"I like that hair, man. I was thinking of getting some hair just like it," Obama said, touching the boy's head. "What do you put in there to make it spiky? Product?"

The boy looked spell-bound until, prompted by his parents, shook the president's hand.
Later, the president walked into the restaurant, shaking hands and taking pictures. As he entered the dining room, accompanied by former Gov. Ted Strickland, he waved and was applauded by a crowd of between 50 and 75 (capacity of the dining room is 85 but not every seat was taken).

Obama greeted several elderly customers first, asking them how long they've been married and what their secrets were for looking so young.
