Well hello, Mr. President.

In San Francisco yesterday, a couple of enthusiastic admirers gave Barack Obama an usually warm reception.

As he greeted diners at the Great Eastern restaurant in San Francisco’s Chinatown, two woman seized the opportunity to pose for photos with the president — and apparently, each give him a little squeeze on the behind.

Reaction to the president’s choice of restaurant among conservation groups, however, was less friendly. The Asian eatery Great Eastern continues to sell shark fin soup, a delicacy recently banned in the United States for its cruelty, using a legal loophole that expires in 2013.
