Obama and wife dine out in DC

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, are going out for dinner on a pleasant evening in Washington.

The first couple arrived Friday at Komi restaurant, near DuPont Circle, surprising diners and passersby who cheered and took photos. The restaurant serves mainly Greek and Mediterranean dishes.

The Obamas will see little of each other this weekend. The first lady is the commencement speaker Saturday at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. The president on Sunday will deliver the commencement address at Hampton University in Hampton, Va.
