"People tell me I should think before I open my mouth," Luann Haley, a single mom who works as a bill collector, told WGZR-TV in Buffalo. She said she was "just trying to be funny, and I almost regret that now." "You're a hottie with a smokin' little body," Luann Haley, 45 said to the leader of the free world, with cameras capturing every moment as the president made an unannounced stop at Duff's Famous Wings for a quick bite to eat.
