I guess a lot of people don't get the privilege of seeing their nation's leader and not a reproduction of his image, so I'm glad I did so.

It's also kind of cool that I voted for him and the building he gave his speech in belonged to the school I go to.

Did you talk to the president, or just see his image and enter bliss?

That's much better than the time George Bush threw a bunch of candy at me during a parade that was then immediately all grabbed up by some redneck dad and distributed evenly to his one child.

You've now got a lifelong memory and really a cool experience. He gave a speech, I presume? How was it? what was it about?

Ha! We all know which city you live in, now, Seattleite!

[up][up][up]It was at this rally. I was actually kind of far away, so I couldn't quite make out his face very well.

[up][up]It was basically him and Washington politicians trying to get everyone excited about voting Democrat. His speech had some fair points, but it wasn't really on the level of life-changing speeches.

[up]What? I've mentioned that I live in Seattle several times before. I've even posted that in the PNW tropers thread, and I've seen you in that thread.

Once upon a time, my family dragged me down to Cheltenham on a hot summer day, saying that we would see Barack Obama. To my surprise, we were not able to enter the area where he was speaking. Instead, I discovered that hundreds of people (on a hot summer day) had amassed at the outer gates, merely hoping to see his blessedness walk past for a moment. And That's Terrible.

[up][up] Oh, wait. That's right. It was someone else who was from the northwest who didn't say where. Whoops.

Eh, I shook hands with Bush once.

And I saw Obama in person during the campaign when he was making a speech in the area, that was kinda cool, even answered a question my dad asked.

Clinton's motorcade drove past my house and my dad got frisked by the Secret Service!

I don't think I was visible on any cameras. I was kind of far in the background in the rear of the building.

Hey, I'm around Seattle too~! -high-five-

But instead of seeing the president I ended up going to a candidates forum at school where a bunch of people (or their representatives) from the upcoming elections came to chatter at us.

Do all politicians have such atrocious posture? ~_~

[up][up]Neat. Maybe if you aren't a rapist, we could meet next time there's an event around here.
