Im surprised the aides from each side didnt do all the logistics of connecting with one another and the president wasnt just handed a phone with the call already connected through.

That’s what I was thinking, surely it was an aide who was dialing who’d only hand the phone to Obama when it actually connected to Key

That was the aides from Obama’s side calling 100%. The minister was newly elected, maybe fairly new to politics as a whole? Maybe he just doesn’t like middlemen.

just thinking logistically, I imagine that happened a lot. Anyway I expect a decent number of his calls were made by aides and he just took the phone after they got through to the right person.

Even if it said “President Obama” many people would think it’s a prank.

True, but if you just got elected as the head of a US friendly nation, it probably wouldn’t be quite so unbelievable.

Well to be fair I'd answer just to say "no you're not!"
