Stop it. That didn’t happen!

Seriously. But, guess what: It totally did happen during a joint presser with Obama and France’s President Hollande.

@NoahCRothman I'm sure there's some context that makes sense to somebody somewhere, but o_O

Heh. We’ll provide the context for you. It’s still perplexing, however:
In response to French reporter, Pres Obama says he would not choose between his daughters & he won't choose between US alllies in Europe.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) February 11, 2014
Asked who is the US's BFF, France or UK, Obama replies he has two daughters, could not choose.

Dude, White House. We wouldn’t boast about that quote by promoting it via your Twitter feed. Sheesh!
Summed up with three letters:
WTF MT @WhiteHouse "I have two daughters…both gorgeous & I would never choose between them." -Obama comparing our partnerships w France+UK
