Des Moines Register: âŚ.. The president then made good on a 2008 campaign promise today, making a quick stop at Rossâ Restaurant in Bettendorf. The diner is off Interstate-74 on the way to Alcoa, which is in nearby Riverdale.
Three years ago, Obama talked with an owner, Cynthia Freidhof, at a town hall meeting, in August, 2008, and pledged to come here.
The president greeted Cynthia with a hug, as she walked through the door. She later said she didnât know he was coming to the restaurant until he arrived. She had stepped to the street to watch his motorcade pass and then was told he was inside.
âYou are so awesome,â Cynthia told the president as they hugged.
âŚ.âI think heâs a man of his word, always, and heâs doing the very best job that he can and I just canât believe heâs here, but itâs real,â Freidhof saidâŚ.
