      don't rub it in. :)

      i spent all of november/december throwing my 4-year-old twins in the car, driving around town to see obama speak. kept a stash of suckers/crayons/crackers in my purse to dole out to my own potentially disruptive children and any others in the crowd.

      when my kids start school in the fall, i'm sure they will be found deficient in some way. lead paint, maybe? nah, they'll trace it all back to 07-08, when their mother abandoned them to raise themselves while she volunteered for obama...

      •  I love your comment!! And thank you & your family (0+ / 0-)

        for your work and their sacrifice in bringing intelligence, integrity and HOPE to the White House in January.

        Hey, who knows what seeds were planted in your kids as they heard Obama speak?  The future is being created...

          is my husband, who landed the awful job of knocking on doors in our neighborhood on some bitterly cold days, while i worked the phones. but someone had to stay home with the kids :)

          •  I'll second that - thanks to him, too! (0+ / 0-)

            I love this connectedness across the miles, that we really are 50 united states, sharing this work and hope and inspiration.  

            Obama's focus on "we" shows that he is a true leader.  He knows he alone can't bring about the change the country needs, but that if each of us  believes that what we do matters, we can get it back on track.  I really never felt before like I could make a difference, with my little donation or little bit of time, but his campaign has changed that.  

            I'm so excited for our kids!
