    I remember his speech at the DNC in '04 and I was blown away. Then about two weeks later I saw him on Mtv talking to Andre 3000 in a more laid back down to earth tone and I tried to imagine any other politician speaking to Andre 3000 and just imagining how stiff and awkward it would be. It was really at that point that I thought he would be good because he would be able to appeal to many classes.

    You had low standards even 4 years ago? ;)

    I've known of Obama for quite a while. He was on the news quite a bit here in Chicago.

    I voted for Barack in 2004 against that ass clown Jack Ryan and Alan Keyes.

    Plus I used to play pickup b-ball with him and Bill Ayers.

    Just kidding :)

    :D Good One :D

    You had me for a second.

    Personally, I think someone being akward talking to Andre 3000 is not a bad thing at all. ;)

    I'm just saying it was kind of new to see someone that could address the elders in a more professional tone, while being able to talk to the youth without sounding like Robocop. (Well, I guess B. Clinton could kind of do that.)

    On Oprah of course. When she introduced him to the world, and like with her books of the month, planted the seeds for world domination in the public mindset...

    might wanna remember that since he's the PRESIDENT ELECT! -yeah baby yeah baby yeah!! :)


    ANYwhoo, i first learned of our 44th PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA -yeah baby yeah baby yeah!! :) - during his keynote speech at the 2004 Dem Convention. I was listening to it live in my car, my mouth hanging open with awe, thinking, "who IS this guy? and when will he run for president?"

    :) YEAH BABY YEAH BABY YEAH!! :)

    watching the DNC in 2004 and he spoke. When I went in the house (of course I was outside in my "office" chain smoking--don't ask why we ended up with a TV out there), I told my husband, "I just saw this guy at the DNC. He was one of the best speakers I have ever heard." He kind of fell off the radar for me for a while, but then he came back. :)
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.
