Fear in the GOP Caucus

GOP Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen hung up on Obama twice yesterday. She reportedly told the startled Obama – while hanging up on him – that she was sure this was a prank. A call from Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, failed to convince her Obama was trying to reach her; same for a call from Chairman Howard Berman, who she knew personally. She finally realized she this wasn’t a prank after she challenged Berman to describe a story only the both of them would know, and he was able to.

Obama was reportedly “amused” when he called back again and she did not hang up.

Ironically, it was the fear of looking foolish that made Ros-Lehtinen look especially foolish.
