I went to Philadelphia this past week for my day job. I had looked forward to the trip since January because that is when I found out that Pennsylvania's primary was on April 22. Our rooms were in the Sheraton. I ate dinner in Phillip's Seafood on Monday night and I had it charged to my room. On Tuesday I went down with my debit card to pay. There were police and "suits" all over the place near the restaurant. I just figured that they were looking for someone and walked on into Phillip's.
The entrance is a narrow hallway and as I walked in, Barack Obama was walking out! It was like I was a teen ager! I couldn't speak. I couldn't think. I think he was pretty surprised too. He probably didn't count on running right into someone like me. We shook hands and went around each other. It was awesome!! I told one of the people who was with him that I voted for him and that I hoped for a landslide! He gave me a thumbs up as he kept walking with the Senator.
I finally regained enough of my consciousness to remember that I had my camera with me. Since Senator Obama had to go up to his room and freshen up before they left, I positioned myself to take some pictures of him when he came back down. This time, I got to shake his hand again and then I shook his wife's hand too. This was an absolute thrill!
He was absolutely cordial! His wife was so sweet!
LET'S VOTE FOR OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!
