The Republicans’ Shameless War on Voting
BY JOHN DEAN
——————————–
There is absolutely no question that Republicans are trying to suppress non-whites from voting, throughout the Southern states, in an effort that has been accelerating since 2010. It is not difficult to catalogue this abusive Republican mission, which unfortunately has spread, in a few instances, to states above the Mason-Dixon Line as well.
Nor is there any doubt whatsoever about why Republicans are doing this, since the demographics of the states where it is happening suggest that it is becoming increasingly difficult for white descendants of the Confederacy, with their puppet conservative politicians, and for conservatives in general, to retain control of government.
Frankly, I find this voter suppression disgusting. Southern conservatives, who now control the GOP, have succeeded in destroying the party of Abraham Lincoln, with its once long and proud tradition of seeking to extend the voting franchise, not restrict it.
———————————-
http://verdict.justia.com/2012/09/07/the-republicans-shameless-war-on-voting
Thank you so much for linking to this article, ladyhawke! Very interesting. And, what a turn-around from what the republican party used to be (regarding voting rights) to what it has become and is today!
Thanks, Ladyhawke for sharing this post by John Dean. I am going to share it with some conservatives I know. Unfortunately, the seeds for the destruction of Abraham Lincoln’s Republican party began long time ago, in the late 1870’s and early 1880’s. John Dean’s boss, Richard Nixon, planted more seeds of destruction when he inaugurated his Southern strategy in the 1970’s. Ronald Reagan completed the destruction of Lincoln’s Republican party in 1980s. That is to say that the Republican party ceased to be the party of Lincoln in the 1980’s. That’s why all former Dixiecrats, who had been nominal Democrats, left, in mass, to join the Republican party. It’s true that the 21st century Republican party has grown more and more bizarre. As the great Bobfr accurately says, the GOP has been taken over by the extreme John Birch faction that was the darling of industrialist Koch, the father of the bothers Charles and David Koch. But, to be honest, the slow death of Lincoln’s Republican party began decades ago. For example two major Republican leaders, Berry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
As an aside, I am especially amused by total ignorance of the so called Black conservatives who justify their membership in the Republican party because it was the party of Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. It’s as if history was frozen in the 1860’s. These Black conservatives are totally oblivious to the historical transformation of the Republican party that began with the end of Reconstruction. They are also equally oblivious to the historical transformation of the Democratic party which began in the 1930’s in the North but certainly picked the steam in the 1960’s, culminating in the passage of major Civil Rights laws.
Congrats vcprezofan2 on being first.
Thanks, CherylL. It feels good. 😉
Afternoon everyone.
My new piece is up on TPV: http://www.thepeoplesview.net/2012/09/on-difficult-path-of-love-and-hope.html
Take a gander if you can.
Another brilliant piece LL. Love is such a simple concept. Such a beautiful thing to talk about and witness but yet so incredibly hard to execute. You encapsulated what Pres. Obama conveyed. Hope and love is what binds us together. Love of country even when that country may disappoint you on occasion. Love of leader even when naysayers decry your love of him/her. Love of your fellow brother and sister even when they spit in your face and cling to their rigid narrow ideology. The courage to love is what makes us great. The courage to love is what lifts us. The courage to love is what helps keep our eyes on the horizon and get up everyday to perfect our union.
Bravo LL. Bravo!
Thank you. Beautiful words.
I use to live not far from Iowa City, so cool that they are campaigning in my old stomping grounds.
Hmmmmmmmm….suppose the Obama campaign had to offer bribes to students to come……..like Robme did??????
Yes they did, Carolyn. That’s why I am not there – my bribe didn’t arrive on time.
carolyn, the media and GOP thugs would be all over it.
I wasn’t being serious……that was facetious…..Obama doesn’t have to bribe people like Romney did with cheap giveaways……VCprez, I assume you’re being facetious too…….
Hey Chips just wanted to tell ya your awesome for all the pics from last night
Romney is a hopeless moron.
Morons. Effing morons run the Romney campaign.
yanno UT…
i am beginning to believe that…or they just have no respect for the American people…they think that we are dodo…
Someone should ask the Romney campaign where their merchandise is made. I know that Dems have union companies make most of their stuff…not sure if that is still the case. Anyone know?
Every bit of Obama merchandise is proudly Made in America…
Great!! Romney outsources his merchandise to China!! That should go viral if true.
Hey y’all! 😆
/waving royally/ Well, hello, my dear Pamela. /British accent, my version/ What a pleasure to see you, ducky!
Loving the pictures of our ‘A’ team.
Did anyone see I think it was Martin Bashir show were he showed Queen Ann being interview and they asked two simple questions, one I think was about same sex marriage and she couldn’t or wouldn’t even answer either question. If anyone saw Bashir beside me you can give alittle more info.
I only saw the ending of it but perhaps we can get a clip from MSNBC video archives. I’ll try to find it.
Thanks.
Thank you, Chips again for working so hard for this site to be such a beautiful place to be this week and Every Week.
I am still working for our POTUS and all of our TOD Family has been doing. We will not give up. I am going to continue to work for my seniors, my beautiful college students, our military families, and our women issues.
I had a group of seven women over to organize for these last two weeks in talking with mothers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, husbands, and fathers about the issues that will affect , Women. We are going to be out next week walking and talking about the issues, and who is for us. Great time well spent.
Yes, I am physically worn, but mother always said, “Do not be tired in the goodness that you are doing, especially when so many people before you have given their lives, and jobs so that you can be where you are going and will be going in the future.” My Dear Mother.
I have never forgotten that. So, let us remember each one who has gone before us to allow us to be here on this beautiful site and to work, donate, and speak out for a great president. Our beautiful President, Barack Obama. FORWARD!!!! ((((((Love all of you so dearly)))))))HZ
Hit our TOD family FR pages, if you can. https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/HZ
the other question she refused to answer was if she believed birth control should be available to women, I think. She couldn’t come up with an answer on that woman either. But she loves you women!!!!
I see why the Republican spokesperson said they didn’t have a person who could speak on women’s issues.
Great scene in the movie American President,
“This is a time for serious people, Bob, and your fifteen minutes are up. My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I *am* the President.”
Last night President Obama declared,
“I *am* the president.”
And put Mr. Romney on notice:
Mr. Romney, your fifteen minutes are up.
Touche’. Great movie.
i wouldn’t have caught that at all–but you can bet hollywood people did! our prez is so smart, subtle, and strategic.
I love the picture of FLOTUS and the girls sneaking up on POTUS after he finishing speaking last night.
The girls have really grown. Real upright young ladies I’d say.
and then FLOTUS sorta tickled the POTUS. lolol
Short story: Quick trip to grocery store. Had a sticker on for the guy who is running against Cong. John Duncan. (Seat has been in the Duncan family for 47 years!!!!!!!!!)Old gent checked me out…..asked, “Is he a Republican or a Democrat?” I said, “Democrat and that he is running against John Duncan. He said he’ll never beat Duncan and the seat will probably be in the family another 47 years. (I had told him that earlier.) He asked if I watched the convention. I said “absolutely.” He said, “People here don’t want to believe it but news flash: Obama will win. He will for sure win FL and that’s all he needs to do. He’ll get the Hispanic vote, the women’s vote and the elderly are scared to death about Medicare so he’ll get that vote too.” (Sounded like he had info about/from FL). When I was done, he patted my shoulder and said “good luck, young lady. Nice talking with you.”
Nice :-).
I went to azcentral.com (my state newspaper website – I’m in Arizona)
I was looking for the classifieds because my sister is running an ad there and wanted me to see it.
Anyway, I’m scrolling down page and see this poll:
Now mind you, I realize this is not scientific and for all intents and purposes should mean squat
BUT
this is AZ!
I really think people believe he will win and that Romney won’t. 🙂
TrumpDog, I am you neighbor in CA. Is there anything we can do to turn Arizona blue? I saw some polls earlier on where President Obama was trailing by a few percentage points. Actually, my main interest is in the Senate seat where our Dem. candidate looks very competitive. It would be so good to win that seat.
IF this works it made me laugh.
Sandra F. Woodward @KySandy
A must see picture RT @DiegoUK: http://twitpic.com/as520f ─ #p2 #ctl #topprog #tcot #tlot
I’m dying laughing!!
Ya’ll have got to read the transcript of this interview with Miss Ann in Iowa today. It’s worth the read
http://www.kwqc.com/story/19484978/anne-romney-kwqc-tv6-interview-transcript
A snippet:
Ok, good start, then:
Oh, there’s more:
So basically her stance is she speaks for women but not really on issues that may affect women…????
Have I summed that up right?:-(
Ha! Exactly, lol.
Nope, she speaks for women and the only concerns for women are the ones that Ann dictates! I did not think I could dislike another woman in politics as much as I did Sarah Palin but I am there with Ann. What an arrogant, insufferable person. I must say she and Mitt seem perfectly suited for each other. Both see everyone who is not in their economic circle as “you people”.
and she wants to be the first lady of our country.. a load of hooey. They don’t want to discuss women’s issues, because they’re dead set against women having any power, personal or otherwise. She should be ashamed of herself.
This says MASSES about the MSM as well as Miss Ann – I’m impressed with the interviewer
Out of curiosity I looked up the stadium in Nashua whee Romney is holding his event tonight. Capacity: 4300 which is smaller than either of Obama’s events today.
At the close of Romney’s events he has no trouble moving through to shake hands. President Obama has to inch his way through.
C-Span is up.
http://www.c-span.org/Events/Pres-Obama-VP-Biden-Travel-to-NH-and-Iowa/10737433862-2/
Certainly.
Everybody’s got a book coming out, just in time for the election. Yesterday it was Bob Woodward, and his behind the scenes story, on last years Debt Ceiling Crisis.
Which the Romney campaign and Politico have been all excited about—–and Woodward will be on 60 Minutes for some Obama slam. I’m sick of these despicable people.
Like all of his predecessor “authors” who are trying to make a quick buck at Obama’s expense, this latest effort is going to fail and end up in dollar bin by Christmas. Would make a nice stocking stuffer for Miss Ann!
Tomorrow will be exactly ONE YEAR since President Obama presented the American Jobs Act to Congress, and the Republican Congress scoffed at it. I wonder if the campaign will highlight that pertinent ‘little’ fact as they travel tomorrow?
The crowd in IA are pumped up while waiting for the Prez.
Iowa City

Hi Dotster! Nice to see you picking up steam again. Things must be improving. 😆
The crowd in IA is all set..http://www.ustream.tv/cbsnews
Did I miss that Mitt’s pulling ads out of Wisc and PBO is advertising in Georgia? Was Georgia a toss-up and did numbers change to be more favorable there. I thought picking Ryan was for Mitt to be competitive in Wisc. Oh well, I’ll just wait and see what happened.
Georgia is now pink…last poll I saw had him behind only 3 points…
I live there and was stunned.
say whaaaaaattt? Now that’s good news, expect OFA to really have a presence there. Three points has to be within the margin of error.
honey, that’s not pink–that’s lavender! great work ofa!!
just watched james taylor’s perfomance again–so wonderful! and i love watching the crowd at the dnc, just having a great time together!
Love James Taylor. I have seen him about 10 times in concert. Halls both large and small.
Another huge crowd in Ia. City
Ha, look below!
Good crowds. Love it.
CSPAN is live streaming Iowa. Starting shortly waiting for them to take the stage.
http://www.c-span.org/Events/Pres-Obama-VP-Biden-Travel-to-NH-and-Iowa/10737433862-2/
According to Neilsen ratings, the final night of the DNC Convention drew at least 5.4 million more viewers than the final night of the RNC. That’s not even factoring the people who watched online.
http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/media_entertainment/closing-night-of-democratic-national-convention-draws-35-7-million-viewers/
http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/politics/final-night-of-republican-national-convention-draws-30-million-viewers/
And just for a bit of perspective, in 2008, John McCain’s acceptance speech at the RNC actually drew ~ 500K more viewers than PBO’s acceptance speech at the DNC.
People are abandoning cable and just go on the Internet.
Yes but this is not even counting people who go on the Internet, although we know that Obama supporters are more likely to use the internet compared to Romney supporters.
The ratings don’t count cspan? I wonder why? I bet a lot of People watched it on CSPAN!
I watched the whole thing on C-Span.
So did we. CSPAN isn’t included? MANY people watch it so they don’t have to watch the so-called pundits. We like to make up our own minds and watch what’s going on on the stage, not the broadcast booth!
Cspan for me too.
CSPAN for me too. It was almost like being there. i enjoyed it immensely.
Me too, I arched the whole thing on CSPAN.
Meant “watched”
Does Nielson even cont cable viewers at all? I didn’t think so. I thought they did ratings for the major network stations. As a matter of fact, someone was surprised to find out that Mitt didn’t buy any tv time on any cable stations. PBO has ads on cable entertainment and cable news statitons. CSPAN is a non-profit organization employing about 258 people and is funded by the cable news stations pooling their money to keep CSPAN going.
Because ratings are collected to sell ads.
Let me rephrase: There is less focus on CSPAN ratings because they don’t sell ad time.
i think you got it right the first time!
I heard somewhere that CSPAN is considered public access and doesn’t rely on advertising dollars so they don’t get counted in ratings.
Btw- Jonathan Martin is the one that said the Presidents speech was a flop. A whole BS article explaining why his opinion means more than mine. Meh!
Ridiculous.
LOL! I don’t even know who Jonathan Martin is.
Who is Jonathan Martin? Better yet who cares what he thinks.
Thanks Jovie, my campaign today was to contact all of the pundits who didn’t like the speech and show them how the speech actually plays out in the real world, with real people.
https://twitter.com/NJedwina/status/244221641255690240
I also watched CSPAN
Chills. VP Biden is the BEST.
You know UT, I love and respect Joe Biden. He is absolutely authentic in his genuine love for people. He also tells it like it is. If he does decide to run for President in 2016 I will be supporting him 100%.
LOL! Tax cuts to improve your love life!
The audio on Obama is too low.
MSNBC needs to switch to a live show at 7 PM until the election….it is lame to re-run Hardball.
Has this been posted yet? The October issue of Woman’s Day has family scarpbook articles about FLOTUS and that evil Romney woman. Here’s Mrs. Obama’s (there’s a recipe for her favorite Mac n Cheese as well): http://www.womansday.com/life/personal-stories/obama-family#slide-1 Love the pictures Mrs. Obama shared and the interview.

Thank you, UF. I enjoyed that interview as there were quite a few little pieces of ‘new’ information. So Sasha has a good singing voice? Nice. I wonder which Adele song she sang and if the family records the Christmas performances.
Loved it, thanks!
I’ve been thinking this forever. I think Michelle is less comfortable with public displays of affection than Barack.
Maybe it’s that the displays are so very public. When thousands of people are watching… might make her a little shy.
I smile every time he kisses her and she shyly allows it. He’s so obviously smitten!
Me too! It’s so adorable.
I agree with you guys about FLOTUS being shy. Remember their kiss in the Kiss Cam, after they kiss, she was so shy.
I enjoy watching him take her hand and lead her away- almost like a doting father 😀
According to Kristen Welker, we have60 offices in Iowa and Robney has 6!
Did you hear the crowd when they saw FLOTUS walk out there? WOW!!!!!!!!!
Hay are they playing a new Bruce Springsteen song, it sure sounds like the Boss. I think it’s call “This Train”. It sounds nice.
Also when he mentioned all the speeches from the convention, she got the loudest cheers. She is popular everywhere with all kinds of different people.
Hello, everyone… Please donate for Obama for my page.
my goal is top $500. I have $75 so far.. please keep donate under my page
thank you and support our president Obama
https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/blue12
I dropped by and left you a $25 donation, Blue12. I wish it could have been more, but I had just made a larger donation to OFA in a phone call the other day. Hope my donation helps!
Pres. Obama delivered once again. Fired Up!
A thought about “Romney” pulling ads out of certain states, and superpacs going in……I read recently that the Koch brothers will not put their money where they think they won’t win. They never spend money that won’t bring a return, and they follow polls too. This writer said Adelson will continue to spread money around, but the Kochs are much more careful about how they spend……that’s probably one reason they were able to hold on to their father’s money and increase it.
Romney is coming to OKC for his one and only visit…..a fundraiser. We are, sadly, firmly in his pocket, so his visit is a fundraiser with Laura Bush. Tickets from $1,000 to $25,000. It is private. There are plenty of oilmen here who want NO regulations…..T. Boone Pickens, Aubrey McClendon of Chesapeake and more. He’ll do well financially here. These oilmen want no restrictions on fracking or drilling. They are not interested in alternative forms of energy.
T Bone Pickens will be there?
I thought he’s now for clean energy?
He’s so two faced; I’ll never trust him after the shit he helped pull on Kerry.
And I aint buyin that Romney has pulled ads – perhaps temporary but they will be back. They’ll have lots of money to burn.
Nate Silver has President Obama’s electoral vote at 314.2 up 10.4 since Aug. 31. Romney is at 223.8 down 10.4 since Aug. 31.
President Obama’s chance of winning is 78.1% up 6.1% since Aug. 31. Romney’s chance of winning is 21.9% down 6.1% since Aug. 31.

To all those (especially Craig Crawford and Krauthammer) to whom it wasn’t obvious that PBO deliberately toned down his speech to appeal to a wider audience:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/09/07/why-obama-went-low-key-in-his-democratic-convention-speech.html
This is great info closerange! thanks
I haven’t heard anything from Craig Crawford in ages. I cannot stand him!
If Crawford was a good opinion pundit, after watching the convention, he should be intelligent enough to notice that the speakers were coordinated and each had a role to play. PBO was the closer.
And I thought PBO delivered a beautiful, inspiring speech. I saw the set up days earlier when the usual suspects were saying “Obama has a high bar to meet, ooooooh we really doubt he’s going to be able to do it etc. etc. etc. Bunch of garbo (garbage).
Crawford is a PUMA!
Interesting shot of the SS snipers on the roof. Made me happy to see them.
not 9 out of 10; 9 out of 100 ! that’s robmey’s score with tweeters:
‘ President Barack Obama’s acceptance speech on Thursday night drew the largest television audience of this year’s political conventions and ranked as the biggest political moment ever on social media site Twitter. ‘
‘ Obama gained on the Twitter Political Index, which measures how tweeters feel about a candidate on a scale of 1 to 100. The president’s ranking stood at 52 on Friday, up 2 points from a day earlier. Romney’s ranking stood at 9 on Friday. ‘
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/07/us-usa-campaign-media-idUSBRE88619220120907
I read that the Video Music Awards (VMA) received ONLY HALF the viewership that it received last year because it was against the final DNC night.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/even-with-minaj-and-rihanna-video-music-awards-cant-compete-with-obama-speech/2012/09/07/3d758932-f932-11e1-8398-0327ab83ab91_story.html
A caller into C-Span complained that the convention was poorly planned because it ran up against the music awards. Convention could not be later. It would have been easier to move the awards program and it appears would have given them a bigger audience. At the time I thought what an odd thing to be complaining about. There will always be conflicts. The convention itself had to go up against NFL football on Wednesday night.
The NFL re-scheduled their opening night football game, from its original planned and traditional Thursday to Wednesday, so as not to conflict with PBO’s acceptance speech.
Pres.Obama doesn’t owe the VMA that courtesy. Its the VMA’s. Not exactly a cause to fight for. 🙂
I think that’s a GOOD THING…..that people have their priorities right if they watched the President speak instead of a dime a dozen music awards show or a football game.
That’s right jojo. I feel heartened by this report for the exactly the reason you mentioned. It shows that young people were tuning in the convention…that bodes very well not just for this election, but for the future of our country.
we thank our troops for their service in armed conflict, but we may not realize how much they do in their communities, as well. just one example here in hawaii:
http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/19488178/hawaii-soldiers-donate-school-supplies
6k in NH, 8k in Iowa!
I was monitoring (somewhat) Willard’s Nashua event to see if they would show the whole audience. Stadium holds around 4000. Just before the feed ended the camera pulled back and there in full view were Romney banners covering seats. Wonder how many more they covered in other areas. They only show a ribbon of people when he is greeting them.
Presumably the press are not allowed to show his “crowds” – I’ve not been able to see the total audience at any of his rallies
That’s right 99ts. And notice that we don’t see ANY pics of people lining up for tickets to his events, or see tweets from volunteers in his campaign…compared to President Obama. Everything in the o-campaign is transparent and is made accessible to the public via twitter, YouTube or other reports. And the Romney folks are just copying whatever they can, while keeping the rest of their campaign a TOP SECRET.
Methinks the Romney campaign is run by the corporate media, Big Oil, and Koch $$$. There are no ordinary foot soldiers volunteering for that campaign. Every staffer on that campaign is a highly paid corporate employee. Even the “disillusioned Obama supporter” in his ad was a paid staffer from his campaign. He can’t even get ordinary folks to vouch for his policies. And the media wants us to think that Romney’s supporters are enthusiastic?

Doctors converge on DNC to defend Obamacare
A big bus emblazoned with the words, “Patients Over Politics” rolled into town during Carolina Fest, and came to a stop a block or so from the site where Democrats had gathered for their national convention.
Aboard were medical doctors from 17 states wearing their white smocks. They had just journeyed here from Tampa and the Republican National Convention. They are members of Doctors for America, a 6,000 member organization in all 50 states. They are defending the Affordable Care Act, often called “Obamacare,” that Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney promises to repeal if elected.
http://peoplesworld.org/doctors-converge-on-dnc-to-defend-obamacare/
Watching Richard Wollffee on the Ed show…i always like his commentary…he’s cute too…smilin
How about Mitt’s excuse for not mentioning the troops. What a creep he is. These men and women are over there putting their lives on the line for us, and he can’t even thank them for their service.
And he even pissed off Faux news today
Even Fox News Is Fed Up With Romney Failing To Provide Details Of His Tax Plan
http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/09/07/812951/fox-news-romney-plan/
Is there a twitter handle for things we can solve with taxcuts? My ear hurts, tax cuts.
and i think i have an ingrown hair on my arm–would somebody please cut some damn taxes!
I’ve got something down there. I need a little tax cut to put in it. 😀
Me thinks, all Ibama supporters donated this week. I gave up 100 dollars, not including the 50 at the beginning of the month.
Chuckles ….
“Flynt is taking out full-page ads in this Sunday’s edition of The Washington Post and Tuesday’s USA Today that promises “up to $1 million” for the dirt on Romney’s “unreleased tax returns and/or details of his offshore assets, bank accounts and business partnerships.” (But before you go calling the Hustler hotline, be aware that Flynt will need “documented evidence of your claims.”)
According to the ad, all correspondence will be kept confidential—so if you’re a former Bain exec with a bone to pick (or without a golden parachute), you might want to get a pen.”

Herman 999 Cain drew a “crowd” of 75 students in Iowa City earlier this week. Hahaha! He supposedly isn’t part of Romney campaign but is on a bus tour campaigning for him, telling students their future is bleak under Obama, that they won’t be able to find a job when they graduate. Who in the world is funding this bus tour???
they must be giving out free pizza, to get 75 students interested.
You are a riot Susanne! Absolutely hilarious!
Well done Bob! Gov. Granholm was absolutely “SPECTACULAR.” If Eric Holder decides to serve only one term, I would love to see Gov. J. Granholm as our next AG.
Cool picture …
THIS!
Bobfr, if AnnD closes her mouth how are we going to gather her pearls of wisdom, particularly those relating to her husband? I say let them both talk now, before the election, so there’s no likelihood of the country being embarrassed by them AFTER.
very kind to her, bob….and to us all.
Bravo, Bobfr for your excellent advice to Ann Romney! She may not realize it, but she definitely comes across as a very privileged, out of touch, super rich woman.
Wow 577,000 donations this week according to Julianna Smoot. Trying to get to 600,000 by tonight!!
Just in: The RNC is going to try and match the Ground game of OFA. Good luck with that.
Maybe a massive paid Tele -marketing. Don’t forget the 400k Union Canvassers, these next two months.
That said, the RNC will probably have only Paid Tele marketers- just making calls, what about foot soldiers.
Someone tell RNC, they seem worried, if they would leak that to Press.
3 weeks to go before debates and NOW they try to match OFA’s ground game? Seriously? lolololol
Here’s the Ann Romney interview that was on the Ed Show. She’s getting worse and worse in her dealings with the press.

She needs to go back to CA and make sure the builders are installing the car elevators in their new house correctly.
Who the hell is coaching this woman?!
We’re back from hearing POTUS at the University. That building he spoke in front of – that’s where I work! Anyhow, it was AWESOME! We weren’t very close – we were about 200 feet away, but still! I couldn’t believe that was him! Or VP Joe! Or FLOTUS or Jill! Wow. We took off while they were shaking hands and planned to go for dinner, but all the main roads were blocked for the entourage. So we took a back country road and decided to drive up to the airport and watch AF1 take off. We sped down the back roads about 25 miles and made it to the airport road not 3 minutes before the whole entourage of 34 cars (Ron counted) went by. We waved to all the limos – I saw the green dress in one of them. Then we waited around 15 more minutes to see AF1 – but it went west and banked around to the north, we weren’t expecting that. Anyhow – GREAT evening.
Can’t wait to see the Fab Four myself. Seen PBO twice. Felt like a silly teenager 😀
