Celebrity sightings?

[Lemon Drop]

I had Barrack Obama (Democratic Presidential hopeful) on a flight from IAH to DCA after Hurricane Katrina - Sept 05. He was traveling alone. I was working first class and there was one seat left open after everyone boarded. He was first on the upgrade list. I was excited b/c I had read about him in TIME magazine. Anyway HE TURNED THE UPGRADE DOWN !!!! The agent told me that he said to her "I don't want to draw any attention to myself."

In all my years of flying I have NEVER seen someone traveling alone turn down an upgrade to first class. Sometimes if they are traveling with someone and they would rather remain with them in coach. But, a politican who doesn't want attention???!!!! This was almost 2 years ago so he wasn;t trying to put on a show. He was just a very humble man who remained in coach with the people he was elected to serve.
