(31 posts)I would have so many things to say if I were in that quiet room but am afraid the words would come out like duh..duhh.. uh, umm and, so why is that Mr. President?
I'm really conflicted with Obama. Such a nice guy, it seems, yet I have a very hard time reconciling why he does/allows some of the things he does (Net neutrality and Wheeler, the Wars, Gitmo, Drones, Data Collection, Snowden, etc, etc, etc.). Sure, I understand he only has but SO much power when we have things like voting in the House and Senate, but gee wiz.
I met Clinton impromptu and shook his hand in DC in the middle of the street while I was lifted up by my Mother onto her back to get a good view - I was probably 6 or 7. I Didn't really grasp who it was and why it was important at the time but I never forgot about it and can remember his face in that memory clear as day. It was only some time later that I grasped what had happened. Congrats to those who met President Obama, a fine day to be remembered regardless of your views.
