Was 1 foot away from Pres. Obama!!!!!!!!!
I just attended the University of Miami and Univision event with Pres. Obama and I got to sit in the 2nd row (I had received a special ticket due to my involvement with the Young Democrats Club at UM) and it was amazing being so close to him!!
He only shook hands with students/attendees in the first row so I missed him by a row haha
I had an amazing time and the crowd was heavily involved with the whole event- people would spontaneously clap for the President after each answer, even though they had given us instructions not to!
The President eloquently answered each question and you could just see how he connects with the common man
This was an experience that I will never forget!

awesome, thanks for sharing the excitement, we all feel that way about our POTUS!
And happy for you. It sounds like you had an awesome experience! 
excitement and enthusiasm and pass it on to your friends, family, classmates, etc.
Enthusiasm is infectious--and is the main factor in GETTING OUT THE VOTE!
Welcome to DU!
so proud to have this man as our president.
Could you reply to my post and say 'hi' to me? That way I can say someone who was one foot away from President Obama said 'hi' to me!! 
Or is that just too weird?
How Exciting! 
Thank you for sharing it with us!
The only clips I have seen on TV it is as if no one was clapping! Now I know why . You have a memory for the rest of your life, that's great.
Another cane and also a veteran of the Young Democrats.
The closest I ever got was meeting Kitty Dukakis as a volunteer at a nearby fund raiser. But I am dating myself
Keep representing!
