No Respect: Obama and Rodney Dangerfield

President-elect Barack Obama may be the “biggest celebrity in the world” but even he still gets hung up on when he makes phone calls. Of course, you have probably read that Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (FL) hung up on Obama, not one, but twice yesterday.

We have already seen Obama’s infamous bowling (Johnstown, PA) and dancing (The Ellen Show) skills, perhaps the President-elect needs to sharpen his comedic chops. If delivering one-liners can help Obama connect phone calls to members of Congress, who better than the late Rodney Dangerfield to give Obama a few helpful pointers.

Rodney is one of my all-time favorites. I hope you, and President-elect Obama, enjoy this classic clip of “Mr. No Respect.”
