I had the opportunity to see Senator Obama at the Convention Center last week. It was an informal question and answer meeting without a prepared speech. My overall impression of the Senator is that what you see is what you get. There was no shading of opinions and the crowd responded well. It was a mixed crowd with a lot of young people and I think the most enthusiastic response was when someone addressed the Senator as "Mr President", and he said "yes sir", without missing a beat ... a response that seemed so natural. No doubt about it, he is the most impressive politician I have seen. I think the more time he spends in the campaign, the more unstoppable he will become. Once he hones his message, I don't think anyone will question his ability to lead. Steven

Meeting Barack | Report to Admin

I had the pleasure of seeing him in RI back in November he was here for a Democratic Rally. I also had the pleasure of shaking his hand and he autographed my book "Dreams from My Father". It was a very exciting moment - the crowd was captivated. People were calling him "Mr. President" I hope it comes true. America needs Barack to be our leader.
