President Obama once walked in on Reggie Love and his lady friend
That's according to a new memoir by Love, the president's former bodyman, according to The Washington Post. During a stop on the campaign trail in 2007, Love writes, he was visited by a friend from college who "ended up staying the night." The next morning, Obama strolled into his room.
I remember the most peremptory of knocks, the sound of his voice talking even as he walked in... He was charged up, going a mile a minute."Hey, Reggie, we need to go over the schedule" — at which point the senator finally noticed my friend in bed, covers pulled to her throat, mortified."Oh," he said. "I apologize." Then he turned around and hurried out."Was that?" she asked, face red."Senator Barack Obama," I said sheepishly. [The Washington Post]
Love's memoir comes out on Feb. 3.
