Cute Barack Obama Story
This was a very interesting story of love, loss and redemption:
Obama accidentally humiliated a young columnist who was sent to report on the senator with a young intern/love interest during a recent visit to Southern Illinois State Univerity. The columnist then wrote that he would never vote for Obama because he ruined his chances with this girl. Well, Obama got wind of it and phoned him for an apology, which was recorded for the popular NPR radio show "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" (Blogger note: my dad loves this show).

The ironically named Lovelady says he was trying to impress an attractive female news intern, and doing a pretty good job of it, if he says so himself, when he arose to ask Obama a question at a press conference. But Obama mistook him for a student journalist, and then explained: "You have such a baby face." Everybody laughed, including the intern, and that was the last Lovelady ever heard from her.
