Obama for America

"Video Preview: Dinner with Barack" +
  0:52 web video from Nov. 21, 2011.

Obama:  The girls I just left.  They had dinner ahead of time but I sat while they were eating.  They're getting ready to do all their homework so they can have a good Halloween.

Man:  Will you be walking them?

Obama:  You know, no.  [guests laugh]

You don't want to go out—  I did Halloween with them in 2007 right before the primary and I wore this big mask so nobody knew it was me, and the Secret Service, at that time I only had like two, so they were kind of in the back and we pulled it off, but now the Secret Service has a different sort of approach to things...  [guests laugh]

They're pretty intense, so...

Notes: The preview features pre-dinner chit-chat.
