Obama left red-faced over admirer’s ‘hottie’ remark

A GUSHING admirer left Barack Obama red-faced and at a loss for words, telling the president during a surprise stop at a New York restaurant that he was a “hottie”.

Luann Haley, 45, offered her effusive assessment during the president’s impromptu visit to Duff’s Famous Wings, a New York eatery known for its take on buffalo wings, a favourite regional dish.

Obama was in the hard-hit industrial city of Buffalo to deliver a speech on the economy, which he says now is on the rebound following the recession.
