Today, I voted early in Texas and I also was able to volunteer at his townhall meeting in Duncanville. Barack, er I mean, PRESIDENT Obama, somehow managed to hear me practically begging him for a hug while dozens of people were waiting for him to walk around and shake hands. By miraculous means, and in the midst of thousands of people cheering in the auditorium, he heard me, and even though he had already stepped away, he came back to give me a hug. Imagine that... A vote, a hug, another step in the winding road of the campaign trail.

Thank you, Barack, for giving America it's hope back. Thank you for all that you do, Barack because it has made a world of difference in my life, my long, long life of 28 years :-) I remember the exact moment in my life when I knew when I would be voting for you Barack..... It was July 2004 at the DNC Convention, halfway through the keynote address when you said "We worship an awesome God in the blue states" and later went on to remind all of us that whether red, white, black or blue, we are all the United States of America.

The next day at work, I printed a copy of the keynote address heard "round the world" Four years later, I casted my vote....

Thank you, Barack for being a patriot and a friend of the working class.
