But he was 20 minutes late becaue they stopped at a McD's in Winner.
Overall, if HRC campaigned and spoke like him she would be the nominee. Undoubtedly.
But he did make me laugh about his being the 1st President to visit a reservation since FDR. And following that up with I've been to 2 of them. Wow good job, there are more than 500.
He laid down some stats about how HRC will defeat McCain handily in the general and how Obama will lose.
How if he weren't married to her she'd still have his support.
No mention of the RFK or June is a crazy month thing.
I recorded his whole speech if anybody wants me to youtube it or whatever let me know. Didn't get a pic with him, Secret Service actually split my wife and I up. I do have a pic of her and Bill together though.

What is up with his nose? Is he a heavy drinker?
I'd guess that 300 or less were in attendance.
I met him and got to shake his hand. One of the best speakers I have ever seen in my whole life. I came away the same way you did. It didn't change my mind on who I am voting for. Still, I am glad I met him.

I still have a gut feeling Shaq will be better next season (2008/2009) after our docs have a full off season to work their magic on the Big Saguaro!

I had the exact same experience and came away with the same conclusion.
He IS an extremely charismatic individual.

I have knowledge , from a very reputable source who has worked one on one with both of the Clintons, separately and collectively, and she has the utmost respect for them both. 2 of the nicest people she has ever worked with and for. The only negative about them is that they are so generous with their time and go the extra step, that they constantly run late for appointments.

Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) arrives for a campaign rally in Crow Agency, Mont., May 19, 2008. (Reuters) By Matthew Mosk
CROW AGENCY, Mont. -- Sen. Barack Obama became the first American presidential candidate to visit the reservation of the Crow Nation and in doing so was adopted into the nation under the Crow name "One Who Helps People Throughout the Land."
Drums pounded and the crowd cheered as Obama was escorted to the podium by his "new parents," Hartford and Mary Black Eagle, in the manner of a groom being walked down the aisle. Obama beamed. His adoptive parents gave Obama hugs as he stepped onto a riser to speak.
"I want to thank my new parents," he said. "The nicest parents you could ever want to know. I like my new name. Barack Black Eagle. That is a good name!"
For all the symbolism -- members of the tribe wore colorful traditional clothing and feathered head-dresses -- Obama addressed some issues of serious concern not only to the 12,100-member Crow Nation but to many Native American tribes around the country.
Obama told those gathered that he intended to acknowledge the "tragic history" of Native Americans over the past three centuries. They "never asked for much, only what was promised by the treaty obligations of their forebears," he said, promising to honor those treaties.
Moreover, he pledged to bring sorely needed "quality affordable health care and a world-class education to reservations all across America. That will be a priority when I'm president."
The visit was meaningful, said Darrin Old Coyote, a member of the tribe who wore an elaborate headdress. "To have us left out all these years, and then for him to come here, it shows respect, and it makes us optimistic," Old Coyote said.
The visit also had political value for Obama. The members of the Crow Nation vote as "a close-knit bloc," Old Coyote said. "Now that Senator Obama is part of the family, that is where we will go."

She's upset with the angle because there was a railing between them. She's leaning back and tilting her head forward at the same time.
Just disappointing that we got separated in the excitement otherwise it could've been the both of us.
I've got this video I am pondering what to do with as a 5 year old boy was asked to serenade the President with a drum song. In the song the chorus is "Let me know when you're coming home, so I can send your sister away".
