Obama 'Body Man' Reggie Love Represents US At Olympics?
Pres. Obama’s former “body man,” dog walker, pitching trainer — you know, the “really tall guy who carried all of Barack’s pesky loose stuff” — has been chosen to be an official White House/United States representative for the closing ceremonies at the London Summer Olympics.
Please note: FORMER body man, et cetera. Why is this man even remotely qualified for this honor, and who’s paying for his round-trip London airfare, food, and lodging?
Rhetorical questions.
From Washington Examiner, Obama sends Reggie Love to Olympic closing ceremonies:
President Obama just announced the official delegation for the Olympic closing ceremonies. His former body man Reggie Love is among the group of dignitaries that will attend.
Love served as Obama’s “body man” until he quit his job to pursue a Masters degree in Business Administration.

Mr. Love said he had been hired with “no job description whatsoever.”
“It was just like, ‘You just go out there and — Take. Care. Of. Stuff,’ ” Mr. Love said, taking his time with each word.
Some of the “stuff” Mr. Love takes care of: When Mr. Obama makes calls to woo superdelegates, Mr. Love is at his side with a briefing book, dialing the numbers. When an outdoor speech ended on a windy day in Noblesville, Ind., he appeared behind Mr. Obama as he shook hands on the rope line. “Jacket?” he asked, a coat draped at the ready over his arm.
When Mr. Obama dropped food on his tie while eating in the car between stops, Mr. Love was ready with a Tide pen. He always carries one, along with ballpoint pens, and has turned himself into a walking dispensary of Sharpies, stationery, protein bars, throat lozenges, water, tea, Advil, Tylenol, Purell and emergency Nicorette, not to mention his ever-present iPhone, BlackBerry and Canon Rebel XT digital camera. (Mr. Love keeps a photo journal of the campaign, and has more than 10,000 pictures so far.)
Got Tide pen?
Go to the Olympics!
