Ultimate dad Barack Obama accidentally plays matchmaker at campaign event
Barack Obama is well-known for his dad behavior, particularly in the style department. On Friday, though, he achieved his most dad accomplishment yet -- accidentally assuming two people were a couple.
The incident occurred during a campaign stop with Illinois gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker. The two visited Urbana restaurant Caffe Paradiso, where they drank tea (Obama paid) and met with constituents.

They reportedly did not answer right away -- an ominous sign that they had perhaps not yet Defined the Relationship, or were, in fact, not dating at all.
"Is that awkward? Did I just make an awkward statement?" Obama said.

Luckily, the not-pair weren't perturbed by Obama's question. In fact, they reportedly laughed about it afterward. After all, even the most embarrassing dad behavior is somewhat nullified if it comes from a very cool former president of the United States.
