Obama at the 2000 convention.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080607/pl_bloomberg/aauiiclmefwa

"The first Democratic convention Obama ever attended was Los Angeles in 2000 and his credit card bounced at the rental-car station. He also wasn't able to secure a floor pass and watched most of the speeches on television screens."

But he's an elitist...lol. Where was Hillary Clinton in 2000? Her credit cards weren't bouncing I'd bet.

5. I just think it's nice how he went from watching the convention on TV in 2000...

...to keynote speaker in 2004, to presidential nominee in 2008.

7. As I posted in an earlier thread that included this info and more..

"Obama was lurking at the 2000 Democractic convention, Keynote Speaker at the 2004 convention and Democratic Prez candidate at the 2008 convention!
Talk about a meteoric rise in fame.."

"The first Democratic convention Obama ever attended was Los Angeles in 2000 and his credit card bounced at the rental-car station. He also wasn't able to secure a floor pass and watched most of the speeches on television screens."
