HollyD Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Okay -- JUST another excuse of the 'American Attitude' President Obama is going to be HERE tomorrow -- I mean literally right outside my window. He is going to be at the Harbourside Convention Center in Downtown Fort Myers for a Town Hall Style meeting. As we speak they (secret service) are closing down all of the roads right now in preparation. *HOW the heck am I going to get to work tomorrow* ANYWAYS -- they were giving out tickets - the tickets are FREE -- and people have been camping out since the weekend. They were suppose to give out a total of 1,500 tickets. But, News was just released that they only gave 250 - for undisclosed reasons. * * * * Here is an example of the way Mass America Behaves . . . . - apparently people were waiting and getting tickets AND TRYING TO SELL THEM ONLINE! It is ALL over Craig's List today ==== People are like saying they will trade a ticket for a car or a motorcycle -- it is MADNESS! This is just one way Americans are always ruining EVERYTHING! . . . to join the madness - I will step outside tomorrow and try to take some pictures! Should be VERY interesting!

nico_collard Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 That's just weird... Is it really worth paying $5000 for a ticket someone else got for free, just to get a small glance at the president? It would be different if you got to hang out with him, maybe get a picture. But really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really... Personally -- I don't get it -- at all! It's crazy! But, if you watched ANY of the Presidential ralley's (when he was still a candidate) everyone acted like Obama was a rock star - uuugghhh this can't be good.

HollyD Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 When President Obama got off of Air Force One . . . they pulled the limo right up to the steps and he went to the car and touched the door . . . then he walked around the car and went over to the people there and was shaking hands and letting them take pictures -- it was totally unscrippted . . . we have never had a president like this before! He is SO down to earth . . . and REALLY seems to be all about 'the people' . . . amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
