It’s not unusual for a president to phone up a member of Congress in the middle of the night to lobby for legislation, but this may be a first: the Commander in Chief talking to an impromptu meeting of lawmakers via a cell phone speaker? According to the Politico’s David Rogers, that’s what happened Thursday night when Obama intervened in stalled negotiations over the war supplemental bill. Senators, including John McCain, were looking for assurances from Obama that the administration will do what it takes to prevent the disclosure of controversial photos that allegedly show detainees being mistreated by members of the U.S. military. According to Rogers, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who was up on the Hill pushing for the bill, dialed up Obama on his cell phone and promptly put the president on speakerphone. “Good evening Angels!” Obama said. Well, ok, he likely didn’t say that, but your Gaggler is amused by the idea of Obama pulling a Charlie from Charlie's Angels to get the bill through Congress. (We openly admit flaws with this analogy: Rahm is not a very good Bosley.) While we don’t know exactly what the president said, it’s likely not far off the mark from a letter Obama sent to lawmakers yesterday, promising to use every “legal and administrative remedy” available to prevent the pictures from going public. The pledge was enough to get the bill out of conference committee and on to a full Congressional vote next week, though it puts Obama at odds with the ACLU, which has sued to get the photos released.
