I know this may be old news, but this is some gal-darn new age campaigning right here. In case you don't like to read more than a few sentences at a time, I'll summarize:
A reporter in Georgia was macking on a news intern at a Barack Obama press conference, when he stood up to ask a question and was mistaken for a college journalism student by the presidential hopeful, and told he had a "babyface," causing uproarious laughter throughout the room. Naturally, the reporter was not too happy about having his flavor wasted in front of such a large audience, and publicly voiced his spite for Obama.
So what does Obama do when he hears about this? He calls the journalist personally to apologize for "messing up his game." That's a direct quote. If you'd like to hear it for yourself, download the 11/19/2006 podcast of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me (a very funny news quiz show from NPR) and fast forward to about 10 minutes in.
Awesome.
