Wow!
He's campaigning pretty hard for Hillary here in PA, and last night I found out he was coming to the middle school here in town where I'm going to college. None of my friends wanted to go, and even I wasn't sure I wanted to go (I'm a die-hard Obama supporter... but lets leave politics out of this right now)... but anyway I figured, hell, the man was a great president IMO and I can't miss this opportunity.
So I walked down there by myself, waited in line for a little bit, but ended up only about 15 feet from the podium. :eek: When he came out it was surreal... I couldn't believe that the former president was standing right there. It was nuts. The speech was really good too, even though I'm not a Hillary fan. And then after the speech he stepped down and was shaking hands and signing autographs.... and I realized, oh shit, I might be able to shake his hand... the secret service was pushing me back but I kept pushing forward, so when he came around I shook his hand!
It was insane! I was starstruck to the MAX.... after I shook his hand I pulled my video phone out to take some footage and noticed that my hand was shaking like crazy. Very cool.

It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

Not sure... but I washed my hands when I got back just in case.
Dude! that's pretty freakin' sweet! I would LOVE to meet him! He is brilliant. But I do have to say that I have a lot less respect for the "dirty politics" campaign he is running this election. One of the most intelligent men in the entire world should hold himself to a higher standard when it comes to the media. he knows first hand, but he hasn't been impressing me lately. non the less, he is amazing and I must say that it tops meeting any rock star, in my eyes.
Best two days of my life: Oasis at MSG and Pearl Jam at the Gorge.
