College OTR: Harvard Graduate Carries Obama's Bags All Day

Harvard Graduate Carries Obama's Bags All Day

What does an Ivy League degree get you? Apparently, the privilege to load and unload presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s luggage.

After graduating from Harvard last year, Eric Lesser, 23, became the “ground logistics coordinator” for Obama’s campaign plane.

In a recent NY Daily News article, the glorified baggage handler details the finer points of his chosen profession:

[One day] someone overstuffed their bag, and the seam broke and their stuff went flying all over the place… It was windy. So, I ran all over the tarmac collecting it…

People don't realize all the adventures their bags go through… The bags need to get from A to B, and at the end of the day, you've just got to do what you need to do to make it happen.

In other words, while some of his former classmates are undoubtedly off at medical school paving the way for groundbreaking medical research, Lesser is spending his days carrying bags and chasing underwear around a runway.

Way to put your $40k+ education to good use, Mr. Lesser. Mom and dad must be proud.

Eric Lesser has been committed to and working for Sen. Obama's campaign from the start. He did a phenomenal job as an senior advance staffer in NH during the primary and I am glad to see that he is now on the road with the senator.

Good luck out there Eric! Posted 09/15/2008 9:56 PMReply

do you have any idea how hard it is to get a job like that? campaign work is not always glorious, but to be right out of college and on a first-name basis with the next president of the united states...pretty damn good. whatever you say now, watch this guy. this is how you make your name in this business.

You idiots. Campaign work isn't glamorous, especially right out of college.

Of course these people could have gone to law school or med school, but my hat is off to Eric and the many other college grads from the class of 2007 who've been working hard (some of them for more than a year!) because they believe in a larger cause.

Your disdain for a job that includes manual labor is just lame. Glamorous or not, this young man's job is critically important. And guess what? The administration of President Obama is going to make sure he gets the reward he deserves. Posted 09/28/2008 03:41 AMReply

@ Anonymous: ERic Lesser overseeing the 1st presidential Seder dinner hosted by OBama.......You are the loser- without vision.

You probably have very conventional ambitions. My heart goes out to you. Posted 04/09/2009 4:59 PMReply

To those throwing virtual sontes, when is the last time YOU were invited to DINNER with about 20 other people by the PRESIDENT of the United States. Mr. Lesser has made his community, Harvard, family, and all the people he has touched in his young life proud beyond measure. What an amazing achievement for one so young!
