I started a thread in GD.P earlier for you two.
Sadly I'm a shitty secretary so I wasn't able to transcribe everything you told me.
It was nice hearing your voice though :loveya:

12. I saw that
thank you very much.

I guess I talked rather fast and with a heavy accent. The fault is on my side.

There were like 200.000 people there and we were really really up front.



See the person in the circle. That is 48percenter and I am somewhere near her. Now tell me that isn't really really up front :)

16. Oh WOW!
You two were very close.
You talked fine. I am just terrible at taking messages.
I JUST wish I was there this week instead of two weeks ago,that way I could have met you and 48percenter and saw some guy talk on stage ;)

14. It was a lifetime experience
I never expected me to be so eager to see a politician. But Obama .... *sigh* it was totally cool.
