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’.
