President Obama, at the University of New Hampshire campus today, treated staff and students to ice cream in the campus Dairy Barn. But don't worry about the president's health: "I only have these once in a while," Obama reportedly said at the ice cream shop. "It's not a regular practice to have a hot fudge sundae."

Via the pool report:

[S]omeone at a first table asked if they could have a picture, POTUS had Pete Souza take care of it assuring them he was pretty good.

One was celebrating a birthday. "Happy birthday! Can I buy you some ice cream?" POTUS asked

Another excited patron in a booth to left of entrance: "I didn't think I'd get to see you!" "I didn't think I'd get to see you either," he responded.

At one point Lee MacQuarrie asked the president to wish a happy birthday for a friend, a message from POTUS that she recorded on her iphone.

"Brianna (sp), happy birthday!" He said into the camera.

Most of other banter was largely about what people had ordered.

For anyone who hadn't, POTUS said hed pick up tab. "My treat now. ... This is legal. I could not do this in front of a polling place, buy you ice cream. But I can do it here."

LMAO, Eddie Murphy at his finest. The “MacDonald’s vs. his mom’s burger” part was funny, too. Need to watch that again!

And he had the gall to proclaim that rich Republicans were "busy suckin' on a Slurpee" when the artificial housing bubble burst.http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq32sgv0ob1qhuxd0o1_r1_500.jpg
