Obama tells/texts all

So this Sunday 8/24 Obama is planning a stop in Eau Claire as he swings through the Midwest.

This after he prolongs the announcement of his VP pick today. It's said that the announcement could come at any time.

It reminds me of waiting for the delivery of an unfit mother's child. Will it be a girl? Will it be a boy? Do they actually want this baby? Will the baby be accepted by the rest of the family? Who will the baby take after?

Yeah, yeah, yeah... lot's of speculations. But I found it somewhat funny is how plans on sharing the good news.

PR announcement? nope
Radio ad? nope
TV press report? nope
phone call? newspaper? telegram? NOPE

He plans on texting and e-mailing the name to about 2 million of his closest friends.

For his sake, I hope he's not driving while he texts that message here in Wisconsin. Doesn't he know that WI was the first state to ban texting while driving?
