NYC DUers: Black cat named Obama needs new home

For five years, he's kept the rats away.

The oldfellas who inherited Cafe Liberty from the mob have a mascot: a black cat they named Obama.

But with the social club set to go the way of the Tommy Gun, they're looking for a new home for the former stray.

"We don't want to throw him out in the street," said Sam Digristina, 72, as Obama curled up in a wicker basket under a wall-mounted TV.
