This is just pathetic:
So why did Sen.
Barack Obama come to the back of the plane and join reporters on
Monday?
Well, it was, in
part, to thank NBC embed Mike Memoli for the cookies his mother had
sent to Obama.
While home on
Sunday, Memoli told his mother -- famous at The Hotline (Memoli's
previous employer) for her cookies -- that Monday was Obama's
birthday so she sent her son back on the trail with some homemade
treats (she once gave Bill Clinton cookies, too).
Memoli gave them to
the campaign ("If you can pass them on to him, it would make my mom
happy," Memoli told the campaign staffer) and, lo and behold, Obama
joined reporters later to thank Memoli for the
gift.
