Congresswoman Hangs Up On Obama

Congresswoman Hangs Up On Obama

  She wasn't being rude, but Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen hung up on Barack Obama and then on her chief of staff.

  The congresswoman said she thought it was a joke being played by a radio station.

  Quote: When the two finally talked, Ros-Lehtinen said she and Obama had a good conversation and she congratulated him for his victory despite how hard she campaigned for his opponent, Sen. John McCain.

He didn't even blame her for mistaking him for a radio-station prank, she said.

"He laughed a lot, saying in Chicago they do it all the time," Ros-Lehtinen said. "He said, 'I don't blame you for being skeptical."'
