“Honey, is that President Obama and Chancellor Merkel at the table beside us?”
“Don’t be silly Sweetie – I think your glasses need strengthening!”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel speaks to U.S. President Barack Obama during a private dinner at the 1789 restaurant in Washington, June 6
Great photo. I love seeing him relax with guests even though I’m sure they’re discussing important issues.

OH MY GOSH META…THANKS FOR THE MENU AND YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
why would they spell it “petite” when it’s petit?
I love James Taylor. Every since I discovered his music three years ago I just absolutely love him.
Not that it’s any surprise but James Taylor LOVES his President!!!
Meta, please pass me a slice of that Apple Strudel. Thanks!!!
What I’d do to have dinner w/ him. He looks so cool and relaxed.
I wouldn’t even have to eat. I could just sit and talk and listen. Yup.
Intelligent conversation with him would be so awesome.
i’d be too excited to eat.
THAT ‘PHOTO TAG’ IS TOO CUTE!..AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE…I COULD NEVER HAVE DINNER WITH THE PREZZZZZZZ…I WOULD BE SOOOO NERVOUS AND SPEND THE REST OF MY TIME PASSED OUT UNDER THE TABLE! SOMEBODY PASS THE MEDIC!…:))))))))
PERSONALLY…I JUST ENJOY SEEING THE PRESIDENT TAKE A LOAD OFF FOR A CHANGE AND SIT DOWN!!!!!
The President looks like he is thinking, why couldn’t that be Michelle? Well at least she is home waiting for me.
He does look a bit wistful …..
OMG! Just had dinner at 1789 this past Friday. Truly one of my favorite restaurants. I can’t even imagine if the President had come in while I was dining.
