"I've been called worse things on the basketball court" - Obama!

[exsequar]

Obama was AWESOME! \o/ I mean, hearing him speak was great but not that different from watching the DNC speech. However, being a part of that massive crowd that was so in tune with what he was saying? That was really something special. SO MANY PEOPLE SHOWED UP! The line started very early and grew to what I have to guess was between a mile and two long. Thousands of people, curving around and through the park and along our campus, waiting to see this man speak. Probably half of them actually got in, but the speakers were loud enough that I think everyone heard. I did get in because I had friends who had arrived pretty early (I had to do work in the lab, blah etc) so we stood on a hill and watching him speak and gesture and smile. He's such a passionate man! I NEED him to be our president. I definitely had tears in my eyes, because this is a PERSON. A person who loves and feels and cares and dreams. Not a politician in it for himself. Obama is going to help US. And every time I type that sentiment, I think how appropriate it is that US is also the initials of our country. Now if only we could live up to our name. I think he can help us do it.

OBAMA BIDEN 08!!!!

You are really lucky to have attended. In all my voting years, I have only ever voted in two presidential elections where my candidate won. (Well, three actually since Gore really did win Florida but that is another story.) I truly hope I'm due because this country needs Barack Obama's intelligence & vision.

I'm hoping to hear him speak in person some day - CA isn't a battleground state so unlikely he will make an appearance here during the campaign.

IF ONLY I WERE AMERICAN. Except, well, I kind of like being Canadian. But that is beside the point.

Jon was probably in Chicago being adorable with his girl and his cats, idk.

You're so lucky you got to see him, oh man.

I'm glad Obama was amazing for you. I saw him at my school a while ago, and to say that his speech was inspirational is kind of an understatement.

(Please not to be dying of schoolwork D: Just stare at adorable band boys some more.)

Yay! *squee*

Also, yay to everything else in this post except for evil school.

I would KILL to see that man speak! Sigh. Somehow though, I don't think South Africa is on his list of places to go. Just a hunch.

I find that when I feel the way you do about school/lack of time, (which is basically all the time lol), I repeat the following mantra:

SLEEP IS FOR THE WEEK SO BRING IT BITCHES.

I then take a nap. Works like a charm.

\o/ I would definitely vote for Obama if I could. I'm happy you got to see him speak, it must be amazing to feel that energy!

HALP IN THE FORM OF CUDDLES? I'm afraid I can't help with science! *cuddles*
