I'm a mile from Obama!

… and I can’t go see him! :frowning:

No one told me he was coming to seattle today! I only heard about 20 mins ago, and was planning on running down on my lunch hour, but the area is already filled to capacity. Poor.

Any of you guys ever seen/almost seen a presiden/almost president?

My daughter volunteered to help Obama’s campaign in New Hampshire over her Christmas break. She met him and shook his hand.

Went to a Clinton speech at Pike Place Market while he was running for reelection in '96. Shook his hand.

I work in DC. We can’t avoid them.

Yep, plenty of times. Was part of my job a short lifetime ago.

Saw the back of his head as his limo passed by on the way there. That almost like shaking his hand, right?

Saw Dubya when he was here in the Tri-Cities in 2000. Probably spooked the Secret Service too when we were all standing on chairs and the guy next me fell with a loud thud.
