WASHINGTON — President Obama is planning a high-tech housewarming gift for the next First Family — working wireless Internet.
“We’ve been trying to get that straight for the next group of folks. This is an old building. There are a lot of dead spots where Wi-Fi doesn’t work,” Obama said in live pre-Super Bowl interview with CBS News’s Gayle King.
In the extremely lighthearted interview, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama discussed their tradition of hosting friends for the Super Bowl in the White House.
“We’re like everybody else. Folks rate the commercials,” President Obama said.
“I care deeply about the halftime show,” Michelle added, noting her affection for Beyoncé.
The spread is pizza, nachos, wings, guacamole and a “vegetable tray that nobody touches,” President Obama said.
“Will there be carrot quesadillas?” King teased Michelle, known for her “Let’s Move” fitness campaign.
“Yeah, no,” she said, saying she had been barbecuing all day. “[But] we’re going to have two types of salad.”
