The president must be a Ragan.com reader

Of course I’m exaggerating. I’m not saying the president reads Ragan.com every day, but he must check it a couple times a week—or maybe Rahm does.

Here's why:

The president discussed healthcare with religious leaders Wednesday night on BlogTalkRadio, an Internet radio service. A couple years ago, former Ragan video producer Justin Allen and I did a three-minute video report on BlogTalkRadio and how organizations could use it.

I’m assuming the president saw that and tucked the information away.

Cheryl:

I can't remember what you published two years ago (I can barely remember two years ago), so I'm in awe...of your memory AND your imagination.

Michael Sebastian:

Molly,

I believe "all wee wee'd" up comes from the George W. Bush Guide for Public Speaking. "Rule No. 34: When flabbergasted and/or vexed, start making up words."

Eileen B.:

Michael: I wholeheartedly support you in this delusion. Great work!

Molly O'Byrne:

If you steered him to BlogRadio then perhaps you have some insight into what "all wee-wee'd up" means? LOL

Michael Sebastian:

Whichever one will have me.

On what planet do you spend most of your time?

;)
