While greeting people outside, a young woman spilled yogurt on the president. It appeared to hit his pants. The president wiped himself off with a towel and made a wry comment about the Secret Service, but pooler couldn’t hear his exact words.
He did say to the woman, “Getting yogurt on the president, you’ve got a story to tell.”
She said, “I’m very embarrassed.
Pool report from yesterday’s Yogurtgate, as delivered by the White House. Backstory: POTUS stopped off at a divey restaurant called The Sink while in Boulder, Colorado. It was there that the yogurt was spilled.

United States pledges $12 million in humanitarian aid to Syria

The U.S. State Department announced $12 million in humanitarian support from the United States to Syria by way of the United Nations and other organizations.

According to a statement released by the State Department on Thursday, the UN and the International Red Cross will provide food, blankets, medical supplies and other necessities to the Syrian people.

Of the $12 million in pledged aid, $3 million will go to the World Food Program, which estimates 1.4 million people have become ‘food insecure’ as a result of violence in Syria.

The WFP plans to provide food to 100,000 people in Syria, the statement said. [US State Department]
