Obama inflitrates the Office of the President
April 19, 2008
As some of you may know, the ‘Chesapeake Primaries’ (MD, DC, VA) were this past Tuesday. Leading up to that time, we were graced with some lovely advertising from the candidates. Fortunately, I was able to avoid most of this.
One thing I wasn’t able to avoid was a particular ad for Barak Obama that hit me where I least expected it on Monday afternoon.
I was coming back into my office after getting coffee. I went through security and stepped into an elevator that had just opened. As I stepped in, I heard the speaker in the elevator ‘talking’. At first I thought the people who’d just stepped out must have accidentally hit the ‘Call’ button. The voice kept going and was a little staticky. Also I really didn’t care what he was saying as I was just biding my time to say it was a false alarm.
Then I heard it… “Barak Obama….” and I started listening hard. I realized that it was an ad for Obama… at the end it urged me to vote for Obama in tomorrow’s primary.
I laughed… apparently the building managment company has sold ad time on their elevator… which allowed Obama to address us, the ‘little people’ working in the Executive Office of the President. I guess he wanted to get in good before he got here.
