Something a little political, a little inspirational

Ok, so in the previous blog I mentioned a once little known, now cultural icon Barack O Bama.  The senator from Chicago Illinois, who amazed the world at the Democratic National Convention, and who currently is running for the President of the United States.  The Barack O Bama, who defies race, culture, politics, sterotypes, traditions, statistics, odds…carrying on the legacy of legends such as John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, nostalgic of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his speeches of hope and faith, and the value of unity.  The Barack O’ Bama who will probably once again bring prestige to this country, and on whose shoulders the weight of an entire nation, an entire world rests.  Well, tonight, I met Barack O’ Bama, in person.  It is almost overwhelming to be in a room with this great man, amongst thousands of others who strain their necks only for a glimpse..but for me that was not enough.  Seeing was unbelievable, but to come so close, I figured why not go the distance.  After jumping gates and picket lines, cutting through crowds and apologizing for bumps and pushes again and again…i finally had my chance.  With my girlfriend in hand, we closed in on the media frenzy, with cameras snapping and microphones and bodyguards close at hand.  With my girlfriend distracted, and the moment almost gone, sucked away by the void of time, i saw an opportunity, and grasped it until it was realized.  Jumping over more metal picket lines, I rushed through the crowds to an empty spot where Barack would eventually come.  Estimating his route, I cleared a space for myself so I was sure to at least stand near the Senator.  Yet, fortune was on my side, and unbelievably, I stood face to face with OBama, he mere inches away.  In tremendous awe, yet still conscience and thinking, I extended my hand to Obama, and he grasped it firmly.  I looked into his weary eyes, after an invigorating speech, and offered the best support I could.  “Barack, I believe in you…Barack, I believe in you..”  With a slight grin on his face in spite of his weariness, he replied, “thankyou, i won’t let you down.” 

 Truly, tonight was an experience of a life-time, and regardless of what happens from this day hence, I know I have captured a memory that will hold endearing value all of my days. 

 Go Obama!!
