3 interesting personal interactions with Barack Obama
November 9th, 2008 | by matt |I do believe the old adage that absolute power corrupts absolutely holds true in most cases, but I am also an optimist, and I’m trying to hold back cynicism about Barack Obama. I think you can tell a lot about a person in the way that they deal with strangers. Here are three stories about Obama’s interactions with normal people that make me hopeful for the future of his presidency:
Response letter to an 8-year-old girl
A Call to a reporter to apologize for “messing up his game” (with audio)
Obama paid for a desperate stranger’s extra luggage at an airport in 1988
