Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff meets Omaha Steve and the DU

[Omaha Steve]

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff was in town to give a speech about women's reproductive health today. I did not attend that event.

The other purpose of the gathering I was at was to pick up yard signs. I got several Biden/Harris signs for my friends and neighbors.

Secret Service would not allow attendees to get out of their car. I did get to shake his hand. We talked about the DU. You bet I mentioned that we raised OVER $2.4 million in 2020 for Biden/Harris. He was impressed. He shook my hand again and sincerely said thank you. I didn't see any TV coverage.




You can see my AFSCME shirt.

[Tree Lady]

69. Nice pic of both of you

He has always looked like a guy easy to be with and down home friendly.

[littlemissmartypants]

70. Love it!! So glad you're feeling better! Hope Marta is, too. ❤️

[Lunabell]

71. Yes! Yes! Yes!

DU is a great place and all Democrats in office should know about it! I've put the link on Mastodon and I hope it brings like minded folks here!!

Hey Steve! You have a great beard!!! I'll bet you get cornered at Christmas to be Santa!

[Omaha Steve]

72. Yes I do

This is from Bush I.

[Lunabell]

73. Oh Lordy! That was a bit ago.

Was that you behind that fluffy white beard? And yes, don't park in handicapped spaces and don't block them by parking too close. My wife is in a wheelchair and we see jerks doing this all the time. Can't even get her in her wheelchair because someone has parked in the blue area next to the parking spot. We were at the doctor's office and one of the employees was the culprit! Oh, we had a few words with that employee and the office manager! I was full on Karen that day, lol. But seriously, who blocks a handicapped space but a selfish jerk?

[Rhiannon12866]

74. Wow! Congratulations, Steve! Well done and the coolest thing on DU today! Keep up the fantastic work! Great pic!!!

[xmas74]

75. Look at that AFSCME shirt!

I have a few in my dresser from back when I was on the executive board with Council 61.

[mnhtnbb]

76. How very cool is that, former NE neighbor!

When we lived in Lincoln (1994-2000), we hosted a cocktail reception at our home in 2000 prior to a Jefferson Jackson dinner that year, where former Senator ( and former Governor)Kerrey attended, along with Ben Nelson who was running for-- and would win--the Senate, and JFK' s speechwriter, Ted Sorensen. That was a kick, but I've never been as close as you were to the power behind the Office of the President!

Thank you for all you do, Omaha Steve!

[Omaha Steve]

77. I met Ted Sorensen at a state convention in 08

I bought his book and got it autographed. I met Biden in the Fall of 07 and got his book autographed too.

[Goddessartist]

78. Woot woot Omaha Steve!

What a great post to awaken to!

[kcr]

79. Very cool!

You are a DU treasure, Omaha Steve.

[sellitman]

[MineralMan]

83. Proper!

[twodogsbarking]

84. I have nothing to add except for 454 million thank-yous.

[CousinIT]

85. Congrats Omaha Steve!

And Thank You for all you do!

[Kid Berwyn]

86. Two great guys!

One great photo, too.

[Cyberologist]

87. Good for DU! I didn't see air waves media coverage either

and it's been like this mostly for nearly 4 years, they are mainly focused on maga chaos which
dominates the news cycle with on going never ending dramas.

NYT, WPo then they write hit pieces on how Vice President Harris does nothing (which isn't true).
She and Second Gentleman sets minimal coverage.

[onecaliberal]

88. That is fantastic!!!

[people]

89. Thank you

You look very kind and I am glad you are out there!

[RussBLib]

90. Makes me wonder....

.....how many good Dems have never even heard of DU? If Emhoff, or Biden (!) were to give a shout-out to DU, I'd bet our numbers would explode. Maybe too much....

[JohnSJ]

92. Wow, did DU raise 2.4 million in 2020?
