During President Obama’s town hall in Ohio today, Tony White, a local barber, asked Obama if he could cut the president’s hair.

Obama smiled and declined the invitation.

“You would not want a president who is disloyal to his barber, right?” Obama said. “A man and his barber that’s a strong connection.”

The president added that he would not let the barber cut his hair, out of respect for his barbers feelings.

“I am not going to let you cut my hair, because my barber would be hurt,” Obama said.

The President’s barber, Zariff, reportedly travels from Chicago to the White House to cut Obama’s hair every two weeks.
