Congresswoman Hangs Up on Obama

By KSPR News

If a man called you saying he was President-elect Barack Obama, you probably wouldn't buy it.

That exact thing happened to Florida Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. She not only didn't believe the caller, she hung up on him.

If she had Caller ID she might have known it really was the future president of our country on the other end of the line.

It took a call from Obama, two from his chief of staff, and another call from a colleague before she eventually believed she wasn't the victim of a prank.

"And he said believe me I will never forget you now, I've called a lot of people and nobody has hung up on me once and certainly nobody has hung up on me twice," Ros-Lehtinen said.

Obama was calling the congresswoman to talk about working together in a bi-partisan manner.
