NEW YORK – Barack Obama si presenta in un negozio Gap di Manhattan per acquistare felpe e magliette per la sua famiglia. Il presidente ha spiegato che la sua visita era anche un modo per sostenere l’iniziativa di questa catena che ha annunciato di voler aumentare il solario minimo dei suoi lavoratori.
Secondo le indiscrezioni, Obama avrebbe fatto acquisti per circa 150 dollari destinati alle sue due figlie e per Michelle.
Per la moglie, il presidente non sa bene cosa comprare: “Non saprei, forse un paio di calze?” L’idea del Presidente viene però subito bocciata dalla commessa (vedi video a seguire).
