Flordida Congresswoman Hangs up on Obama, Commends Presidential Impersonation

Florida congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen was not about to be punked by a Barack Obama impersonator calling her, so she hung up on him.

In fact, the caller was the president-elect calling her Wednesday afternoon to congratulate her on her re-election and to tell her he looks forward to working with her as the ranking Republican member of the House Foreign Affairs committee.

But after telling Obama that he is a better impersonator (of himself) than the actor on “Saturday Night Live,” she hung up the phone. She then hung up on Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, when he called to clarify the situation.
