1. So did they film him dialing for two hours until someone answered???? nt

[uppityperson]

10. What?

[LAS14]

14. Have you ever helped out at a phone bank? Most calls don't result in an answer. nt

[Mossfern]

11. Heh -

So you've done phone banking too!

[Blue_playwright]

12. I thought that too!

[stillcool]

2. the contrast is whacked

just finish reading about terrorists here and there, votes getting tossed, and stumble upon this. It's like a welcome mat.

3. I would lose my freaking mind if I got a call from Obama.

Total fan girl tongue-tied stupid stuttering comment type stuff. I am so jealous. LOL!

[Tanuki]

9. I would think someone was pulling a prank!

[Pacifist Patriot]

23. Honestly, that would be my first thought.

[LittleGirl]

13. Me too!

I would probably start laughing and then crying with joy.

[Pacifist Patriot]

22. This

5. He is such a good man.

[Chainfire]

6. A little shot of Obama always helps.

[Funtatlaguy]

7. He's just so real and normal. So are Joe and Kamala. We need that more than ever.

[MyOwnPeace]

8. And can you imagine BunkerBoy doing that?

HELL, NO!!!!!!!

First, when the baby cried or fussed, he'd look for somebody to hand the phone to.

And besides, when he announced who it was they'd probably hang up!!!

[roamer65]

15. I would start crying.

I would tell him I miss him.

[MustLoveBeagles]

17. Same here

[Botany]

16. Class

what a good man.

[warmfeet]

18. Wow, what an honor that would be.

I miss him so much! Imagine having a real, a good, human being as president. We had it once, we will have it again.

Love You Barack.



Damn I miss him.

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. The previous President, ladies and gentlemen!

[sandensea]

20. Made my day. Thank you.

Can you imagine Cheeto doing that?

The only time he'd bother, is if Putin, Bibi - or some other despot dangling a large bribe - were at the other end!

[SpankMe]

21. I love babies. n/t

[BruinDadd]

24. remember he used to read the 10 letters every day

[DeminPennswoods]

25. That is the actual call script

Got a call from a Biden phone banker a few days ago. They gave the exact same spiel.

[tblue37]

26. Without baby Jackson, I presume, and the part where he says, "Tell them Barack asked you

to tell them to vote. "

[DeminPennswoods]

27. Yes, of course

But my phone banker was very nice and we chatted for a bit, too.

[Rorey]

37. I always feel guilty taking their time

But for some reason, when a phone banker for any of my candidates calls, I can't seem to shut myself down so they can move on to the next call.

[DeminPennswoods]

39. I think they get hung up on a lot

and like it when they actually have their call taken and a friendly voice on the line. I kind of do it to buck up their spirits.

[Rorey]

40. That's a good way to think of it

[crickets]

28. It's adorable that Obama's so wonderful with babies and small children.

Oh, I miss that man.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

29. Wow!

Were I to receive a phone call from Obama I'd be racing around trying to figure out how to record it. Which I'm sure I couldn't do, and I could only hope people would actually believe me that I'd gotten a call from him.

[tblue37]

30. She can use this video as proof--and as a treasure to give her son when he is older.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

31. Yes, she can.

Lucky her!

I have actually been in the same room with Obama, in 2006 I think it was. It was at a Kansas Democratic party event, and I didn't go up and shake his hand, mainly because all of the African American servers in the room were very eager to greet him. I knew I had no right to step up in front of any of them. As a white person, I realize I can only sort of get what it must be like to finally see someone who looks like you as President. I have no regrets about not going up to him then. If I'm lucky, I'll have another chance. And if not, oh well.

[tblue37]

32. I have pics of him petting my 14-month-old granddaughter's head as Michelle looks on with a big

smile. Unfortunately, my overprotective son deliberately took the pic in such a way as to hide his daughter's and his wife's faces.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

33. Oh, darn.

At least I have the memory of being in the same room with Obama. For me, no pictures are simply an Oh, darn.

[Rorey]

36. When he was campaigning prior to being elected

I went to see him at a campaign rally here in my city. I got turned away because the venue was already full. I thought to myself that it was fine. I already knew I was going to vote for him, and I was overjoyed that so many were so eager to see him, and I was fine with relinquishing the space I would have taken to give someone else that opportunity. I bought some shirts and rushed home to watch him on television. No regrets, but if I ever get the chance again, I don't think I'll give it up.

[Blue Owl]

34. K&R

[Rorey]

35. I'm shedding a tear or two....with a BIG smile on my face

I am so happy that I got to have him as my President! I can't wait to have a REAL President again.

[Hotler]

38. "Do what your mom says."

Love the guy.
