He had me at "hello."

Dear Barack Obama Fans,
We finally got to meet the Senator yesterday at a
fundraiser here in La Jolla. Although he was 90
minutes late (he flys commercial and his flight was
delayed) the 700 people waiting for him were patient.
The excitement was palpable as we ate wine &cheese at
the Birch Aquarium.
When he finally arrived I found myself shaking hands
with the Senator. He looked right into my eyes and
asked me my name. I said "Arielle" and he said "Hello
Arielle" with a great big smile. Ok - -I'm smitten.
He shook many hands and then jumped on stage and
talked to us like he was with a group of good friends.
He asked that everyone in the room support him with
their time, energy and money and gave us a homework
assignment which I will pass along to you:
1) sign up at barackobama.com
2) send out 5, 10 or more emails to friends and family
encouraging them to register to vote AND to sign up at
barackobama.com
He answered several in-depth questions about his plans
for Iraq, healthcare, medicare, and more.
He was clear, committed and in my opinion is ready to
win.
More to come....
Arielle
