I can't help but remember the Schakowsky Obama/Bush story from 2002 today...

In case you have forgotten it...

Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, from Illinois 9th district (home of the lakeshore liberals), met with canvassers and volunteers Saturday morning. She told a great story about her visit to the White House in 2002. Apparently she went to meet President Bush with some other Congressmen and decided to wear an Obama button on her lapel instead of an American flag. When she shook the President's hand, he shuddered at seeing her button, and gave her that "deer in the headlights" look he's become so famous for. She quickly told him it was Obama, not Osama, and he asked who that was. She said he was running for Senate, and he replied he had never heard of him, to which she retorted, "You will, Mr. President, trust me, you will."
