I saw Hillary Clinton speak! Thanks to my handy-dandy emails I get from the
Obama Campaign, I found out she was speaking at a rally held by the local Junior College. Derrick and I went even though I had the flu (a mild case of it, I'm already recovering). It was such a small space! I thought we were going to be in an auditorium far away from her, but we were standing in a common area and she was about 25ft in front of me.
It was kinda funny because they had so many political people speak before her and most of them were pretty annoying.
Then, the last person to speak before Hillary was a local woman who worked in the Ford Plant and was recently laid-off. She was the best speaker out of all of them! She had most people ready to cry. She wasn't dramatic, just honest. I told Derrick how amazing it was that all the politicians have tons of public speaking experience and instruction and then this poor woman who does
manual labor showed them all up. Hillary, of course, was great. Very enthusiastic without being over the top. She was pretty funny too. I felt like she was preaching to the choir, but it was still pretty fun. Now I'm all pumped to see
Obama speak. The fun part about living in a swing state is all of the politicians come to speak numerous amounts of times trying to persuade even one more person to vote for them. I might go to a Republican rally just for kicks. Plus, maybe I can meet a rich man to marry me and then Derrick can be my man on the side.
lol!
I didn't take my camera because I didn't want to get to the front of the line and be told I couldn't bring it in so these are pictures from my cell phone. The title of this entry is the cheer we chanted :)
