Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle grabbed brunch with Bono in the Big Apple and were greeted with cheers and applause from a crowd of onlookers.
As the Obamas and the U2 frontman exited the restaurant, People reports, “the whole restaurant stood up and applauded and cheered for them. Barack Obama waved at everyone upon leaving.”
Video of the Obamas exiting Upland Restaurant in Manhattan, flanked by Secret Service, flooded social media.
“Obama, we love you” one person is heard screaming as the crowded eatery erupts with applause.
“I’m dying. I’m dead. PRESIDENT OBAMA is at lunch w us. We all clapped and cried,” one Instagram user captions.
The bromance between President Obama and Bono dates back years.
In 2010, the Grammy-winning crooner met with Obama and his national security team to “discuss the administration’s development strategy heading into the upcoming G-8 and G-20 meetings in Canada and September’s U.N. Summit on the Millenium Development Goals.”
And Friday’s was not the first brunch the Obamas and Bono have shared together.
In June 2013, Michelle Obama and her two daughters dined with Bono, his wife, and their two sons at Finnegan’s Irish Pub in Dalkey, Co Dublin.
Bono, of course, has been an outspoken opponent of President Donald Trump.
Two months before the presidential election, Bono called Trump “potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America.”
Just last month, Bono condemned the idea of a “national border” as the best way to protect one’s country from Islamic terror.
“I don’t see a body of water wide enough or a wall high enough to keep these problems from our doors,” the Irish rocker said before world leaders at the Munich Security Conference in Germany.

I think we’ve finally found the perfect retirement job for Obama.
Spoon Holder.
You’ve sampled the soup, but where do you put the spoon?
The Obama Spoon Holder.
“Oh, darn! I’ve sampled the soup, but where can I put this spoon so I can find it again?”
“That’s no problem with the new Obama Spoon Holder. See! You just put the spoon handle in here and it stays secure and ready for use!”
“My! That is handy!”
“It sure is and it’s a bargain! For only $9.95 you can have this Obama Spoon Holder! But wait! If you order in the next ten minutes, we’ll throw in the Biden Spoon Holder for the same price! Think of it! Now you can have two spoons available for easy use at waist height! Order yours today!”
Yes...the multi-millionaire Bono is famous for evading taxes.
Liberals: do as I say, not as I do. Now pony up, you middle-class schlubs! /s
LOL! No, not many here who would like to receive condescending lectures. ;)
"Virtue signalling is series business. Welcome. I am honored to accept your waste."
Not surprising. I stood up and cheered when Obama left Washington on January 20
It’s amazingly ironic that Henley’s such a leftie and yet his “Get Over It” is one of the best slams against the left and the “special snowflakes” ever recorded.
What they didn’t bring Val with them not much of a threesome.
And also some of the media problem.
Who are those neanderthals on the right?
islamists and islamist faciliatators
Was Chaz there?
Maybe some Joe Walsh rubbed off on him ;-)
Two wannabees who never were and, never will be!!!

Or something like that...
Bono is no cheap date. Last time a President dined with him, GW Bush sent 15 billion to Africa.
