Hello? Is that Obama on the line?

WASHINGTON — It’s not every day you get to pass a phone call with your sister off to the president.

But that’s what Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley did on Tuesday night following President Barack Obama’s joint session to Congress.

After the speech, Berkley was in the halls telling her sister in California all about the speech, when the president and his entourage brushed by.

Berkley congratulated the president on his talk and told him she was on the phone with her sis, Wendy.

“Hi Wendy,” the president reportedly said into the speaker phone.

Wendy gushed and told Obama she loved the speech.
