Obama’s wedding band getting repaired

WASHINGTON - For at least two days, U.S. President Barack Obama was seen without his wedding band on his left hand, and that is because: it’s getting repaired.

The White House said that beyond the typical cleaning that most rings get, Mr. Obama’s intricate gold ring needed a little repairing.

White House aides declined to elaborate on what specifically was wrong with the ring, reports ABC News.

Married on October 3rd, 1992, the president’s wedding band is markedly different than his wife’s ring. Her wedding band is a thin, traditional gold band. Mr. Obama’s is a thick, carved gold band from Indonesia, where he lived from ages six to ten. (ANI)
