Obama: Tacos And Tequila Are 'Not Punishment'

The World Cup has a way of bringing out the patriot in most people. So when President Barack Obama spoke with Univision’s radio program "El Bueno, La Mala, y El Feo" ("The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly&quot on Monday, interviewer Andrés Maldonado made a proposition:

AM: Mr. President, I just have got two things to tell you. If Mexico and the United States go to Brazil and we win, you’re going to have to do tacos and tequila with us. Okay?

PBO: Let me say, first of all, that that’s not punishment to do tacos and tequila. I should get that if the Americans win. You have to give me tacos and tequila. You’ll have to send them here to the White House.

AM: And another thing, just because you’re cool and you give us a “Reforma Migratoria” (Immigration Reform), I’m going to vote for you in the next elections too.

PBO: Well, you know what? Michelle is not going to let me run anymore. She says, it’s time for me to spend more, give her more attention and take her on nice trips. And…

AM: Give her tequila shots and she’ll be relaxed.

PBO: Yeah, you know, things like that.

Too much tequila (takillya) and one may feel punished, but in moderation, sure, why not?
And as far as tacos are concerned, they better be good tacos and not the alleged tacos they sell at a national chain. I live a few blocks away from a locally owned Mexican restaurant by a real Hispanic woman and boy can she make tacos, etc.

The thing I love the most is, the President seems like a genuinely good person. Like, a guy I would hang out with for utterly non-political reasons.
