		<description><![CDATA[<p>ALBANY—Here&#039;s another Obama first: first NYPIRG alum to become president.</p>
<p>According to Legislative Director Blair Horner, Obama <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/30/us/politics/30obama.html?pagewanted=print">worked for a semester</a> at the organization&#039;s City College branch in 1985, after he graduated from Columbia College. (He&#039;s the <a href="http://www.buffalonews.com/260/story/553183.html">first Columbia College alum to be President,</a> too.)</p>
<p>&quot;You hope he does a good job,&quot; Horner said. &quot;I think it&#039;s probably fair to say that since he was here for probably a short period of time, it&#039;s not quite the same as someone who&#039;s been here or 15 years. It&#039;s significant, but at the end of the day, you hope he does a good job.&quot;</p>
<p>Fox5 recently did a feature on this, <a href="http://www.myfoxny.com/myfox/pages/InsideFox/Detail?contentId=8282493&amp;version=1&amp;locale=EN-US&amp;layoutCode=VSTY&amp;pageId=5.7.1">which you can find here. </a></p>
