Alex Okrent, a staffer in the Obama for America campaign who has worked with Barack Obama’s political team since 2004, died Friday after collapsing in the Chicago headquarters.

President Barack Obama called his family to offer his condolences. Obama later consoled campaign staffers in a dial-in conference call on Friday afternoon.

Okrent worked in the campaign’s paid media department, which handled advertising for Obama’s re-election bid. He was a staffer for Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign and worked on his 2004 race for an Illinois Senate seat. Okrent also worked in a variety of other campaigns.

    My condolences to his family. Its tough loosing a loved one, especially a young person.

    Obama may have lost a staffer, but he can still vote in Chicago.

    The voting part is guaranteed.

    His brain died a long time ago, sometime around 2004

    …the rest of his body just caught up.

    My condolences.

    I’m conflicted. I feel bad for him and his family, but they are killing my country. I guess it’s gotten that serious.

    Was he one of Obumfuk’s closet “encounters” at Man’s Country? Wait for the autopsy. This sounds suspiciously like some of Barry’s other “friends” in VChicago who passed away unaccountably.

    Bet he was met by Ted Kennedy telling him “you done real good kid. Welcome. We’re so proud of you. Let me introduce you to my friends. This is my ol’ man, Joe, and these two fine gentlemen are Joe Stalin and Carl Marx. Over there is Harry Blackmun. And next to him is Margaret Sanger. And of course you know Lenin and president Johnson. Shhhhhhhh. There having a conference on electing Obama.” More later!

    Sorry, I got nothing. No sadness, no condolences, nothing. Working for the beast can be dangerous.

    I don’t know — but it looks like shilling for Obama is hazardous to one’s health. First the poor lady in Ohio (owner of the restaurant BHO had breakfast in) and now this kid. Just sayin’.

    Condolences to both families.

    Hopefully, he had time to make peace with God. He’s been sinning against this country since 2004.

    Does anyone believe Obama gives a rat’s ass about this guy? I certainly don’t!

    Hillary Clinton called the family to apologize for America’s role in his death, and Eric Holder had promised to investigate George Bush to see if he played a role in this.

    He calls this guy’s family, but can’t take a couple of minutes to call Brian Terry’s family? We have a POS in the WH.
