I was honored to be invited to see Barack Obama speak today. It was a closed event blah blah blah. It was also outside in 90° heat. I was not sitting in the shade. Right now I’m at school, so don’t have a lot of time to write. The speech was excellent and I was able to meet Obama. Also, my face didn’t seem too red (though it was) on CNN.
Did I mention it was flippin’ hot? And that I was thrilled to be there?
Here’s video of part of the speech:
Hopefully I’ll be able to get some pictures up. I didn’t get any really good shots because my camera sucks ass and I’m all of 5ft 1in. I did meet him and I was thrilled with that. And he did exceptionally well with the question/answer session (none of the questions were pre-screened like Bush/McCain is wont to do) and he didn’t do a whole lot of stuttering. Zach Space, though, said a small oopsie. He said “blah blah blah three words out of the speech blah blah blah ‘It’s all about you’ blah blah blah”- you know, “It’s all about you” is 4 words, but we’ll give Space that one.

Damn, how’d you get so lucky! I’ve never met anyone famous, even when I was in DC.
That’s so funny. I had a dream that I was supposed to go and hear him but I had some other thing I had to do. In my dream, I blew off the other thing and went to listen to the speech
I hope he comes my way again.
I am still SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous!!!
I was just at one of those blogs with a delusional chick that thinks Sarah is her new savior, so it was nice to be able to come here and see something written by someone with common sense.
