Obama to WIP: “Maybe I’ll Stop by the Studio….”
Angelo Cataldi and his 610 morning team one-upped Booker’s Hillary Clinton get by scoring a call-in interview with Barack Obama this morning.
Although Cataldi didn’t ask him anything incendiary or challenging — “So, why should we elect you president?” “How are you handling the stress of campaigning?” — it was interesting to see just how Obama-centric WIP is. At the end of the interview, Cataldi gushed, “You have a lot of fans here, and if we can do anything to help, you let us know.” Obama thanked him but really gave no indication whatsoever that he had any idea whom he was talking to, addressing Cataldi as “sir” the whole time and kind of going through the motions of a radio interview as he’s probably done 4,000 times in the past 10 months.
One thing Obama did say, causing Angelo to almost squeal like a tween-aged Miley Cyrus fan, was that “maybe he’d stop by the studio” sometime before the April 22nd showdown.
Hmmm, will this cause a rift in the relationship that WIP has with morning-show regular and hardcore Clinton supporter Gov. Ed Rendell?

Concerning news worthy information…I would think that more important than Angelo getting all excited over the fact that Senator Obama might stop by the studio, would be how the American People are going to react to Senator Obama’s comments about “Typical White People” in connection with racial outlooks. Now there is something news worthy for the Philadelphia area readers.
