President Obama makes surprise visit to DNC

Source: CNN

President Barack Obama made the brief drive to the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington Thursday to thank staff members there for their work on his re-election effort.

Obama – who has no campaign events scheduled for Thursday – just finished a three-day swing through Iowa, where he hammered his Republican opponent Mitt Romney for everything from his stance on wind energy to his position on Medicare.

the first thing that I think of with this is "how respectful" to actually say thanks to the 'little people' who are working to help get him re-elected...

the second thing I think of is that I bet he poked his head into the office of the upper crust too and maybe gave them a word or two of encouragement or direction as to how they may want to frame the last few weeks of the election

both ways, good play...ya, i see the nine-dimensional chess player at it again
