Some background before the warning:
I am an Obama supporter. For the first time in my life I have become politically active. I was a precinct captain here in Santa Barbara. I canvassed; made hundreds of phone calls even to dozens people living in other states. I work very full time yet and I was moved to do so by something inside me that was sooooo tired of the status quo. I was move to do so because I was soooo afraid of the state of our union, the state of the world and of the state of the globe.
I met Obama several months ago at the event that Oprah had here. My husband who has been a vocal and active democrat was invited to attend....of course to pay too. It was a stretch but we both new that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity so we said YES. There were 1,500 people there but he was pretty accessible. I had the opportunity to talk to him some and to listen to him speak. Although some of his answers to me directly were more stump which was disappointing, the more I watched him and the more he settled in to the event the more real, the more humble and the more statesman like he appeared. I knew that I had met a president that day. At the end of the event I said ‘Good luck Mr. President’.
