Pay-off for being a super volunteer. Hugs from Barack! Lots of pics!

[gratefultobelib]

It took forever for me to learn how to post pictures! These are from Kansas City a couple of weeks ago:

Volunteers waiting to see Barack. I'm in front with pink Michelle button.


Me--hugging Barack!! He said something like, "Ah, yes. Boots on the ground." I was in a daze!



Other lucky volunteers getting a hug or handshake. In the first picture, you can see my hand barring the door so the Secret Service guys couldn't get in and take him away from us. It's a wonder I didn't get arrested!

3. What a good looking group of people!

Every time I see a photo of Obama's volunteers and Obama's fans at a rally, I'm so proud to be part of this country! It's always a diverse group of people with kind faces and happy smiles.

Quite a contrast to the "other guy's" fan base.

Thank you for your work on all of our behalf!
