President Obama has often lamented how restrictive the so-called presidential “bubble” can be.
But in an interview with Israel's Channel 2 that aired on Thursday, Obama took it a step further, talking about how he has a “fantasy” of putting on a disguise -- complete with a faux mustache -- so he can converse with Israelis.
“Sometimes I have this fantasy that I can put on a disguise, you know, wear a fake mustache, and I can wander through Tel Aviv and go to a bar and have a conversation, or go down to a university and meet with some students in a setting where it wasn't as formal,” Obama said in the interview. “And we're going to try and find as many opportunities as I can to interact directly with the Israeli people.”
The answer came after Obama — who hasn't been to Israel since before he was elected president — was asked if there was anything he'd like to do on his visit next week to Israel.
A dip in the Dead Sea, he was asked. A visit to a falafel kiosk, perhaps?
“All of the above,” Obama said. “You know, I'd love to sit at a cafe and just hang out. The last time I was there as a senator, I still had the option of wandering through the Old City in Jerusalem. That option, I think, becomes a lot trickier once you're actually president.”
Obama, who leaves to the Middle East on Tuesday, said he would like to talk to Israelis to learn “how they're feeling, what they're thinking about the world, about life.”
In the interview, Obama summed up his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, explaining that he's met with him “more than any other world leader.”
He’s already got a fake beard....

Hypothetically, any “suspicious” American could be targeted while simply sitting in a cafe sipping on coffee while posing no imminent threat to anyone.

. Will a mustache confuse a drone???? Did Obama just compromise our drone program??
Moochelle wears enough moustache for both of them.
But I thought he grew a moustache that resembled that famous guy with the famous moustache in the 30s and 40s. I thought Obama was the affirmative action version of the guy.

Tony Orlando’s love child.
You take that back!
Pryor was a fine looking man!
That twit looks like one of the Village People!
LOLOL
What? He doesn’t have the testosterone to grow his own mustache? Maybe Big Sis could lend him some.
Wayyyyy too masculine!
Try this one.
See no evidence Big SIS has testosterone. But she is Butch.
She could be taking testosterone. Obozo needs that or something else that I will not mention here.
I’m envisioning a Mr. Potato Head w/Groucho mustache, glasses, and hugh ears.
Now that’s funny.
