Barack Obama
the barack obama rally was the first time i have ever gone to something like that. i'm not really a political person, i actually hate to talk politics with people, but this was really very interesting. the picture didn't come out the clearest, even though we were fairly close. he sounds very smart and has good ideas. i like how he is about focusing on positive things, and how we can get things done in our country, like health care and schools. and bringing home the troops. it was very hopeful to me.
we went because, as mentioned in the previous post, my daughter had an assignment for the school newspaper. she and my husband got interviewed after by the channel 7 news, and she ended up on the news last night! (hubby's interview got cut) and she also made a contact at the station, the reporter gave her his card when he found out she is a journalism major. but they spelled her name wrong on the news! LOL!

I went shopping for you this morning. I saw lots of stuff you would like!
shopping for me! i'm excited to see! i know i will like anything you send!
I want change so bad in this country. Like you I don't talk much to people about politics...makes for people shouting! LOL
I hope he can back up what he says... I think every politician talks about health care and schooling and (given our current climate) bringing home the troops. I get to vote though, so I'll be paying close attention! Here's hoping!

eric emin ~ i hope so too...i think that he is so inexperienced still is a big roadblock though. but there are still two years, anything can happen!
And lucky you to go to Victoria as well. Shallow at Stylefinder (she's in Victoria) also has some recommendations on where to go. We'll definitely be going back.
victoria should be fun...your trip looked pretty fun, too!
