I just got off the AFL-CIO’s kick-off conference call with Obama. What a tragedy of errors.
First of all, Sen. Obama was about 40 minutes late to the show. You can image how fantastic 40 minutes of Muzak went over. Finally, John Sweeney introduced Obama.
After rattling off nearly the exact same speech he delivered a few months ago to the AFL-CIO (see above), Obama preceeded to hang up. Click. Just like that.
Someone at the AFL-CIO muttered something like “is that it?” and then we went back to hold music.
A lady came back on and made an excuse, saying Obama’s line was cut off and that he would come back on the call. Minutes pass, and then she came back on and said that Obama had left the building.
