What an interesting way to greet the incoming President.

Politico:

On Wednesday, the Republican congresswoman got a call from President-elect Barack Obama, didn't believe it was him, and hung up on him. Twice.

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.

What's worse: Getting pranked (ala Sarah Palin) or hanging up on the soon-to-be most powerful man in the world?

1. Yay. More stupid from the GOP.

Amazing. :D

2. Republicans need to "Costanza" themselves

When they think they know the right decision they should do the opposite.

3. That says a lot more about this woman than you are giving her credit for

SHE doesn't think she is important enough to receive a call from the President-elect.:rofl:

8. That's a very good point. n/t

4. actually, I heard that she made a call congratulating Obama ...

now, I'm not sure if that's absolutely true ... did he think that he was being punk'd by her? No ... he returned the call ...

5. I felt for her. She was trying to not be the fool Palin was. It was more understandable,

and more human, I thought.

6. Well, I'd think it was a prank and hang up too. LOL! Poor lady. I can't blame her.

7. It's Ileana

Did you expect better? I don't even know if she really believed it was a prank? :shrug:

9. I bet Barack thought it was funny

And probably could understand why she hung up twice.
