Here’s What Obama Almost Forgot to Bring to Las Vegas
Published at
Pete Souza / The White House(WASHINGTON) — President Obama walked out of the Oval Office with a spring in his step Friday morning, bounding toward the Marine One helicopter for an immigration campaign swing to Las Vegas, Nevada.
But then — to the shock of a shivering press corps — after Obama boarded the bird, he quickly dashed out the rear door, making a bee-line for the White House, telling reporters, “I forgot something.”
Three minutes later, he emerged from the White House with a grin, saying “Do you guys ever forget something?”
“What’d you forget?” ABC News asked the president.
“My Blackberry!” Obama said with a smile, grabbing the black device off his left hip and showing it to the cameras.
With his electronic line to the world, Obama’s chopper quickly lifted off for Air Force One. He was joined by speechwriter Cody Keenan, senior adviser Jen Palmieri, aide Marvin Nicholson, domestic policy adviser Cecilia Munoz, and deputy chief of staff Anita Decker-Breckinridge.
Obama will rally with Democratic supporters at Del Sol High School in Las Vegas Friday afternoon, one day after unveiling sweeping executive action on immigration.
