Obama’s creepy Philadelphia eBay stalker identified
We reported on this yesterday and CBS 3 in Philly dug a little deeper:
Sources have identified a citizen paparazzi who got under the skin of Senator Barack Obama during his visit to the Italian Market Wednesday.
[...]
Outside the famous shop, Obama’s patience was tried when he was asked repeatedly to pose for a photographer by an onlooker, identified by sources at Calvin Spiker from Union, New Jersey.
“You are wearing me out brother,” Obama could be overheard saying to the demanding citizen. “I’ll do it, but I won’t be smiling.”
Less that an hour earlier, the same man could be seen crowding in with school children outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center following a speech by the Senator.
Photo’s from a source shows Spiker trying to take Obama’s picture with a green camera and get the Democratic candidate’s autograph.
Make sure you watch the video (top right). It’s pretty clear the guy was hounding Obama earlier in the day, too.
In addition, AOL’s Political Machine noticed a few of the same things that we noticed yesterday.
