Barack Obama continues to draw attention as if he were still in office, nearly nine years after leaving the White House. On Saturday night, he and former First Lady Michelle Obama dined at their favorite Hollywood spot, Mother Wolf.
The couple’s outing was marked by an impressive Secret Service motorcade, showcasing the high level of security that still surrounds them.
As they left the restaurant, fans and photographers eagerly called out to them. Amid the commotion, someone even asked Obama if he would “save TikTok,” referencing the ongoing governmental debates about the future of the social media platform, according to TMZ.
The Former President and Michelle maintained their silence on TikTok when questioned during their dinner outing at Mother Wolf in Hollywood.
The couple’s Secret Service detail established a wide perimeter around the restaurant, particularly heightened after a previous incident.
In September, an armed security guard from an event upstairs managed to approach Obama’s SUV while he was inside, exposing a significant lapse in security as agents had left a stairway unguarded.
This time, their security was notably more stringent to prevent any repeat of such breaches.
As they left, Obama waved to the crowd.
