For the second time in two weeks, President Obama gave tourists a thrill and sent the Secret Service into a panic by taking an impromptu stroll through the streets of Washington, D.C. On Monday afternoon, the president walked to a Starbucks on Pennsylvania Avenue with Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. Things got even crazier when he ordered a hot, venti-sized tea, even though it was 83 degrees outside. During both trips, Obama referred to himself as a chained circus bear, proclaiming, “The bear is loose!” If the Secret Service doesn’t nip this in the bud, by end of summer the bear will be picking up his own dry cleaning.
