I was reading about the current U.S. representative for the Miami area, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL, 27th Congressional district), and saw this:
Following the 2008 elections, then President-elect Barack Obama rang Ros-Lehtinen to congratulate her on her re-election. She hung up on him, believing that it was a prank call from a radio station. She did the same to Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel when he rang to confirm the original call was genuine, and only accepted the call after Congressman Howard Berman managed to speak to her.[20][21]
I guess someone in politics just can't be too careful these days. It was funny that she snubbed both Obama and his chief of staff.
