FORGET Obama. The man who turned down a date with the US President has gone one better in a meeting with the Mexican First Lady Angelica Rivera.

Jade Buddha co-owner Phil Hogan made headlines this week when he knocked back a much-sought after ticket to see the President speak at the University of Queensland because he couldn’t get a ticket for his wife.

But it seems the lucky bar owner has a magnetic pull — this afternoon he was paid a visit by Mexican First lady just hours after she arrived in Brisbane with her husband, President Enrique Peña Nieto. She stayed for more than two hours, with security closely watching over her.

“We reckon she’s the most attractive delegate … she’s beautiful,” Mr Hogan said.

“Who needs Obama when the most attractive delegate has already graced us with her presence?”
