Jennifer slipped into the Hart Senate Office Building on Wednesday afternoon for a mysterious meeting inside presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s office.
Jennifer, sporting a black cocktail dress and carrying an orange handbag, surprised staffers when she was spotted walking through the Hart atrium and taking the elevator to Obama’s seventh-floor office.
When asked what brought her to the Hill, she smiled and said:
“I’m not ready to do any press yet,” she said, her eyes hidden behind a pair of big, black sunglasses.
Word spread fast of Jennifer’s presence, and a herd of staffers and tourists — thinking they were waiting to see Obama — amassed, their cell phone cameras at the ready. As it happens, Obama was scheduled to be in St. Louis, Mo., today at the Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
Rumors circulated that Jen may be writing Obama a song.
As the throng continued to gather, Sens. Arlen Specter and Bill Nelson walked by with little fanfare, and Sen. Jeff Bingaman stopped short of walking into a photo visitors were taking by the nameplate outside Obama’s door.
The security detail guarding Obama’s door grew from two to four as Jennifer’s meeting continued. After an hour and a half passed, an Obama staffer came out to break the bad news.
“She’s gone,” he said, explaining that she left even more secretively than she entered.
