I Just Got A Conference Call From Barack!

[we can do it]

I think it was real - he had team leaders and top volunteers on conference call to thank us for our hard work and remind us how important it is to get out the vote - EVERY VOTE

[BlooInBloo]

1. Cool. Unless it was a spoof of some sort.

[Lisa0825]

3. It was real. nt

[BlooInBloo]

6. (shrug) Ok. The OP expressed doubt.

[Lisa0825]

10. I'm just saying I have seen it reported elsewhere.... it was a real call.

No judgment intended by my reply.

[BlooInBloo]

11. Ah - gotcha!

[we can do it]

27. None taken

especially after the idiot Palin call

[we can do it]

16. I Was Being a Little Cautious After the Palin Prank

[BlooInBloo]

17. Perfectly reasonable.

[Jackeens]

2. Are you sure it wasn't President Sarkozy?

[we can do it]

4. Pretty Sure No Funny Accent

B-)

5. Me too! Wasn't it great?!?!?!

I just want to work even harder for him now

[we can do it]

7. Same Here - I've Had a Hard Time Sleeping As It Is

20,000 people on conference call

[graywarrior]

9. Seriously.

I want to take every voter from my area to the polls myself.

[Nevernose]

8. I hung up before Barack got on

Maybe there were local guys on afterward, but at least the beginning was essentially a GOTV robocall.

[graywarrior]

12. It was from the top.

[Nevernose]

19. Was that David Axelrod? And maybe I'm just burned out?

That was when I hung up -- it's the third coordinated call I've listened to. Before it was at the state headquarters and at a volunteer meeting.

Honestly? I think I'm just burned out. I've been working on this campaign in one capacity or another for over a year. My work has suffered, I have no girlfriend, my kid thinks I'm certifiable, and I really need a nap. And a girlfriend :D.

[graywarrior]

20. No, it was something like John Persons(?)

And I get the burn out...I am almost there myself

[we can do it]

21. Poor Dear - Just a Couple More More Days

It will be worth it all

[Nevernose]

28. I'm starting to feel like this guy:

:)

I'm just some strange fat man who didn't have a pronounced limp three months ago checking LBN and HuffPo like an obsessive compulsive on speed. The neighbors don't even say "hi" anymore; they just say, "Yes, we voted, don't you remember asking us?"

"No. No, I don't remember. Have your friends and family voted? Didn't you tell me you had a cousin in Indiana? Did she vote yet? Did she vote for Obama? Did her family vote for Obama yet? Because I can tell you where her nearest early polling location is..."

COME ON, NEXT WEDNESDAY!

[we can do it]

30. Too Funny!

yet strangely familiar

[we can do it]

13. It was about 18 minutes long - worth the wait

[bcoylepa]

14. me too!

keep on keeping on!
know hope!!

[Labors of Hercules]

15. Message: CAN'T STOP! WON'T STOP!

:woohoo:

[Emit]

18. Me, too!

The whole family listened in on the speaker phone -- gave us a little boost after a long day's working of GOTV!

[we can do it]

22. We Did Too!

Even the cat came in and sat down to listen

[CoffeeCat]

23. I was on that call!

It was cool!

He's done that before during the primary.

That campaign is so creative and resourceful in their strategy to GOTV.

[we can do it]

24. I Am Even More Energized Now & I Didn't Think It Was Possible

too cool - the man really knows how to treat people

[globalvillage]

25. Me too!

He said we have to keep working for 72 more hours and we'll win.

Did you hear him say he's proud of us?

[we can do it]

26. Yes

I believe!

[banjosareunderrated]

29. I got one too!

As did our team leader. There were 6 of us left in the UAW hall and we all listened together on speakerphone. It was really nice---there were some tears of joy.

[Fire1]

31. My son did too.

[rdublue]

32. I want one..
