Say what you might about Barack Obama’s politics, but the Illinois senator knows how to make the most of a few days in New York.
Aside from raising substantial campaign funds, Obama scored audiences with some of New York’s top politicos and made appearances at some its prized landmarks during his brief visit.
For starters, there was dinner last night at the soul food restaurant Sylvia’s in Harlem with the Rev. Al Sharpton. Then it was on to the famed Apollo Theater, where he was introduced to a sold-out audience by comedian Chris Rock. Read more about the Apollo fundraiser here.
This morning, it was a breakfast meeting with Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Read more about that here.
Not bad for quick visit, but then again, Obama is no ordinary tourist.
Blake Zeff, a spokesman for rival Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton offered this statement last night about Obama’s visit.
“We’re gratified that poll after poll shows Sen Clinton soundly beating all candidates of any party in New York, but we’re taking nothing for granted and working hard for every vote,” Zeff said.
