Just Got Back From See H R Clinton in Kissimmee
Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 01:46 PM by rsmith6621

I was not aware she was going to be in town until last night when reading the events page on the Obama/Biden site....As of this morning all of the tickets were gone but my wife and I decided to go to the venue and see if we could catch a look of her anyhow..

On arriving I noticed that there were two booths setup with shirts and buttons for sale and then I looked over my shoulder and saw the will call booth so in my work them attitude I went over and just told them that we were from Seattle and wanting to know if anyone gave back their tickets because they could not make it....the worker reached under the table and pulled out two for us and of course I said a BIG THANK YOU.

On the way in to the very large conference room a real cute looking girl approached my wife and I and asked if we would like to sit behind the podium thus being 15 feet max from Hillary...my wife being shy said no and we got 6th row seat anyhow( I really would have like to sat there) After about 30 minutes of local politicians spoke out came a Peurto Rican women stepped out to give a testimony on why we can not have four more years of McBush policy's and how Bush economics have impacted her life....she then introduce Hillary to the chant of Hillary Hillary ect...

Hillary spoke about 40 minutes doing a great job motivating those in attendance slamming McBush/Palin for basically offering us nothing new and talking about how the RNC convention offered up nothing more then a substance free solution to help America out of its problems....She did not directly attack Palin. She spoke on poor job numbers,health insurance,eduction issues and foreclosure issue stating that foreclosures are only going to get worse in the months ahead not better and how there is hope for a better tomorrow with Obama/Biden.

This was my first time ever seeing a first lady and my wife's first time seeing a high profile political figure.....Hillary is for sure more attractive in every way then Gov.Sorry McFailin.


NO WAY.....NO HOW.....NO McCAIN.....................

2. Glad to hear that HRC is campaigning for
Barack Obama. I hope she and Bill come to St Louis and do a rally for Obama. They'd fill the Pageant in St Louis.

4. Thanks for the account
Got to see Bill & Hill, Al & Tipper at a local high school.

I'm relatively small potatoes in my local Democratic party, so I wasn't expecting much, but I got to sit right near the stage, which made it really fun (limited space b/c they wanted as many of the actual HS kids who attend the school to be there).

Good snag at the will-call!

5. Make that instead of
"girl approached my wife and I and asked..."

Treat yourself as though you were only one person, even though there are two of you. In other words "approached my wife and me..." You (both)are the recipients of the action verb "approached."
