Would you Hang-Up on Obama?

Apparently Republican Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen did today!

TWICE!!!

Thinking she was being pranked by a radio show in South Florida, the Congresswoman hung up on President-Elect Obama this morning when he called her.

According to Ros-Lehtinen’s flack Alex Cruz, the congresswoman received the call on her cell phone from a Chicago-based number and an aide informed her that Obama wanted to speak to her. When Obama introduced himself, Ros-Lehtinen cut him off and said, “I’m sorry but I think this is a joke from one of the South Florida radio stations known for these pranks.” Then she hung up.

Moments later, Obama tried again, this time through his soon-to-be chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.

“Ileana, I cannot believe you hung up on the President-Elect,” Emanuel said. And then–yes, you know what’s coming–she hung up on Emanuel saying she “didn’t believe the call was legitimate.”

Read the whole story – and how she gracefully recovered here and here.
