Well, I went to Obama's rally at the Reunion Arena last week and words can not describe the electricity in that place and even flowing outside of the arena! There were young children in tow, teenagers, college students, young adults, middle aged adults and the seasoned saints were in tha house!!
Obama spoke of hope and his plans for change and was inspiring to me (both for the now and as it relates to my future endeavors) to say the least. I don't understand the critics that say he is all air and puff and contains no substance....hhmmmm..haters maybe?
I also had the pleasure to attend his Town Hall meeting yesterday afternoon in Duncanville. It started out with his usual speech (minus a few new additions)...but things took a turn when he ended his speech earlier than normal and entertained questions from the audience!
This was an exciting time for me because naturally questions were asked AND ANSWERED that had never been dealt with in any of the debates or in any pre-produced campaign materials. Great questions were asked (the highlight for many was when Obama called on a high school student and the volunteers didn't get the mike to him quickly enough, so Obama went to him and gave him his mike- a moment I am sure that the young man will never forget) and it was even more exhilarating to see Obama genuinely answer the questions. And as Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Caraway pointed out to me during this period, Obama looked each and every last one of them straight in their eyes as he answered their questions! (No matter how far back they may have been sitting from him) Gotta love a politician that deals with you eye to eye on the issues before them!!
Although I did not necessarily experience the same feeling that ran through the arena last week, it was still a packed house and overflowing people outside that couldn't get in and fired up people ready for TRUE and LASTING change!
As we left the building I took a momentary low as we were approached by Clinton campaign workers! I understand that the crowds for both Hill and Bill in Dallas County can not seem to get out of the hundreds, but I can not believe the unmitigated gall (shout out to Pastor Haynes..lol) of them to be standing right outside the arena doors of the Obama Town Hall meeting! It was disrespectful and pitiful!
That low only lasted a minute, because I was reminded that Obama WILL win Dallas county and their tactics were yet another attempt at bringing Obama and his supporters down!
I concluded my evening with some slammin' fried chicken, catfish and fries at Emerald City on MLK. (who knew!!!)
Obama quickly left the arena headed to catch a flight to Austin as he was due to speak in San Marcos at 9:15 p.m. My lil sis made it to the rally in San Marcos outside at a park and snagged herself a front row seat without waiting in the long line!
Check him out..still in the same suit..guess he doesn't sweat like the baptist preacher preaching several sermons a day! :) (Lil Sis gave this photo the following caption "I LUV this look. Reminiscent of your mother's "I will come down there and snatch..." look." HA! 
Tomorrow is the last day of early voting and the polls are open until 7 p.m. Let your voice be heard and please be sure to complete the second part of the Texas Two Step and return to your neighborhood voting location on Tuesday, March 4 at 7 p.m. for the precinct convention and get your caucus on!
Let's Go To Work!!!
