President Barack Obama was on campus at the University of Michigan to speak about raising the minimum wage. He took some time to stop at the iconic Zingerman’s and gave a shout out to the Michigan Basketball team and Devin Gardner; following that up with a pledge to not pick against Michigan again. The funniest part though? He made a joke about Nik Stauskas not having to worry about student loans because he would have an NBA contract soon and the crowd groaned.

Obama pumped the brakes once the groans started. Said he wasn't trying to push him out. "Down the road." … But, yeah. Wow.
