THE BEST DAY EVER
I SHOOK HIS HAND!!! He walked off his bus, walked right to me and shook my hand first! It was amazing. He said 'Its so great to meet you' and I said 'Its my pleasure!' I said real words, a real sentence! I was so convinced Id say something completely garbled and idiotic.
He went to an IU event, came back by us to leave and shook my hand again! I got two handshakes! It was so amazing and surreal to see him, he is so friendly and warm in person, truely, this will be a day I'll never forget.

It should come to no one that Barack is one masterful person. Now can he make sense out of the bureaucracy now entrenched in Washington. He'll need all the help he can get to make it work. MUD
Wowzers, now I like Barack Obama he's smart and charismatic but he wouldn't last a week on a manual labor job. Hell he can't even chuck a bowling ball. I'm betting that when you shook his hand Melissa you found it smooth and inoffensive. You find me a politician that had to claw his way up from nothing, on his own and I will back him or her. Otherwise these politicians can only speculate from their ivory tower how most Americans think and live and generally they are too high up to see what's actually going on.
you mean like a politician who was raised by his single mother and grandparents, got through school on scholarships and had to work his way through college and was accepted to harvard based on his academic merits? you mean that sort of politician?
maybe you need to read up a little more on barack obama, he wasnt raised with a silver spoon in his mouth.
he spent most of his young adulthood working in inner city chicago as a community organizer, most of his time was spent in impoverished neighborhoods trying to get people to band together to better their schools and communities. his only support from his family was their encouragement, he didnt have any financial support. he's self-made.
No I mean a politician like my man John McKain. I'm kidding of course, could you imagine John McKain trying to push a lawnmower? His heart would eject itself from his body. I did do a modest amount of research and Obama gets the nod, the spoon was a little on the dingy side. But I would like a guy who isn't afraid to pick up a shovel and dig on a project he has helped organize. Maybe Obama is that guy, I need the swift boat guys to make a documentary on his work history, I would pay money to see what they come up with "I worked with Barack Obama when he got employee of the month at McDonalds, and I can say without a doubt I saw him spit in the pickle jar multiple times!" You know it just dawned on me that the most recent president to fit my requirements, and he could bowl, is Dick Nixon and we all know how that turned out. But come on pony up, when you shook Mr. Obama's hand was it smooth and soft?
psst.. its McCain. no K.
yes, his hand was soft, and i felt magical rich-man powers radiating from his plush skin.
He's a politician, so's John McCain. im sure McCain's hands are nice and soft too. I doubt he's been digging anything up lately.
You should read Obama's book 'Dreams from My Father' I think you'd find it very educational.
Soft, I knew it. Love that quote by the way, clearly you should be working on slogans for Obama.
What can I say I went to the worst elementary school in Monroe county so I have an excuse for not being able to speel. I did learn how to fight chew tobacco though.
I'll bet McCain has been digging lately. Every time he goes hunting with Dick Cheney they have to bury a new hunting buddy.
Oh wow reading....I don't know. If my landscaper coworkers found out I read, it could really ruin my reputation. They nicknamed this one dude "Reader" because his hobby was reading, is that not absurd. Oh man if they find out I'm in a play I'm done for, oh crap I told my boss, gotta remember to slip him a forget me now.
