Obama Wore The Bike Helmet For The Kids

Barack Obama, speaking at a Chicago fundraiser Thursday about his bike ride last weekend, said that he “knew” that he would be photographed wearing a bike helmet, and that there would be comparisons between the photo and one taken of 1988 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis in a tank. Dukakis later received ridicule for looking out of place.

Here’s Obama’s must-see response to questions about the helmet, which includes a reference to 1990s pop culture phenomenon Steve Urkel, courtesy of the fundraiser press pool report:

[Obama] paused to mention his much-photographed bike ride with one of his daughters last Sunday.
