LendingTree Names President Obama "Employee of the Month"

"There are 7 to 9 million people across the country who right now could be taking advantage of lower mortgage rates. That is money in their pocket." - President Obama

CHARLOTTE, NC - President Obama recently encouraged Americans to take advantage of historically low interest rates by refinancing their mortgages.  To show their appreciation for the President’s efforts, Charlotte-based LendingTree responded by naming President Obama their "Employee of the Month."

"This may not be as life-changing for President Obama as appearing on Oprah, being elected President or bowling a 37 on the campaign trail, but around here, Employee of the Month is kind of a big deal," said Ned Schneibly, Co-Chair of LendingTree’s Employee of the Month Committee.

In addition to an honorary plaque on LendingTree’s "Wall of Fame," President Obama can look forward to several other exciting rewards: a $5 credit for the breakroom vending machine, a limited edition LendingTree t-shirt, and a reserved parking space next to the front door.
