Barrack Obama and I ... We're pretty much friends now...

Attending the Barrack Obama rally at Nutter Center was an experience. The environment was electric and the excitement was contagious. So who could blame me for trying to reach out in hopes of getting a handshake ... no one... well no one except for Barrack himself. As he walked out and began shaking hands I was apart of the crowd that all lunged forward trying to touch history. But as we lunged... he took a step back... looked me straight in the eye and gently said "dont push..." Time froze as I looked the future of America in the eye... wait a minute... did he just tell me to stop pushing?... i just wanted a handshake... can't blame me right??? ... i was just reprimanded by the potential future president in potentially one of the most historical men in the history of the US... not gonna lie... its kinda embarassing... and kinda awesome at the same time...

After this strange rush of mixed emotions subsided... i realized that i still didn't get my handshake... so as the speech went on i slowly manuevered myself into position against the metal gate like barricade, and after standing on my feet for hours, my strategy paid off. As Barrack made his way towards the exit, shaking hands, I was able to reach out and shake history's hand. But Ohhh it does not stop there... as the crowd around me pressed in, the lady next to me began to fall backwards into the crowd. Barrack let out a "woah woah!!!" and proceeded to reach into the crowd and extended a helping hand to the helpless lady. I quickly caught on to the situation and the opportunity that presented itself. I reached down, one hand on the lady, one on Barrack, and i helped bring her back to her feet. He gave the lady a hug and then dissapeared into the exit. This is when I had a realization... I just helped the (potentially) next president of the United States... we technically just worked together to accomplish something. Yah I'll admit it... I felt like a badass... I probably should have slipped him my card and let him know that if he needed a running mate he could always give me a call... but i guess i could always wait till the next election...
