I would like to meet President Obama.

[Javaman]

back in 1993, after being released from 12 years of stupidity (ray-gun and poppy)I really wanted to meet President Clinton. He was the first Democratic President in my adult life. I voted against ray-gun and poppy and I was very disillusioned.

Then came Bill. I just wanted to say thanks. I never got the chance. I know the odds are really slim.

However, I did get to see him speak in person. It was in Northridge, California. Just after the quake. It was something to be able to see the President of the United States come and talk to us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, presidents do that, but after the quake, it really meant something to me.

So I never got a chance to meet him, but I saw him in person. And that was something.

Now, I'm older, wiser, more jaded, was less hopeful about our future up until a few months ago. ;)

I want to make my wish known, (I know, if you tell your wish it won't come true, WHAT ever), I would like to meet our President of the United States: Barack Obama. (so nice saying that).

I know, in reality, the chances of that happening are really slim. Probably a zero to nil chance, but never the less, I would like to meet him. Just to say thanks. That I support him. And as a citizen of the US, if he ever called upon me for anything, I would be there in a heartbeat. That's all.

So there it is, I want to meet President Obama. Whether that will ever actually happen in my lifetime is another story.

Peace.

1. you never can tell. i emailed clinton because i thought he looked so

relaxed after his terms. he sent me an autographed picture and a short letter referring to my email comments. you never can tell what will happen in your life !! keep you eyes open & speak from your heart & wait for the universe to unfold :):)

2. sending e-mails is so impersonal to show President Obama

how I support him with this daunting task of realigning this country again, which will take many many years, I would like to meet him also.

3. What sensible person wouldn't?

I met Hillary Clinton briefly at a fundraiser in 2006 and thought, "This is the next president of the United States!" Well, I was wrong about that, but it was still a great experience. I was within spitting distance of Bill Clinton in 1996 at a rally in Toledo. I also met Kerry briefly in 2004 at a fundraiser where I thought, "This is the next president of the United States!" Oh well, it was still fun.

4. Side note: a hand written letter commands the most attention.

There are so many mass produced mailings and emails that hand-writing really stands out.

5. I have met President Obama many times...

in my dreams of course.
