Incognit-O phone prank

Move over, Vinny from Queens. There’s a new radio call-in king — and he’s dialing from the White House.
President Obama played a prank on his friend, outgoing Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, phoning Kaine’s radio show as “Barry from DC” to gripe about traffic.
The ruse didn’t last long, as Obama quickly said, “Well, Governor Kaine, this is actually the president of the United States calling. I have some questions about traffic in northern Virginia. But rather than go there, I’d just like to say how proud we are of your service.”
A stunned Kaine said his happiest moment as governor came when Obama was elected president with Virginia’s help.
