Courtesy of James Lileks, I learn that President Obama has a “LinkedIn” profile. Much of it is boringly predictable, starting with the first line:
The administration can’t only be about me.
. . . or it wouldn’t be costing ten billion dollars a day.
But he also lists his interests:
Basketball, writing, spending time with my kids.
Sounds like your kind of guy? Hey, back off!
Barack Obama is not currently open to receiving Introductions or InMail™.
Just ask President Sarkozy, Gordon Brown, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the King of Norway. As the profile concludes:
Not the Barack Obama you were looking for?
And you’d be surprised how many others there are. I like the sound of the Barack Obama who’s apparently engaged as a “clown at the Villa Flora Artist’s Residency and Bed & Breakfast” in Branik, Slovenia.
