Julio lands an announcing gig

[kskiska]

LEE COUNTY — The guy who turned heads with his emotional plea to Barack Obama during a town hall meeting in Fort Myers landed a gig with the Fort Myers Miracle.

Julio Osegueda, 19, will will be the radio color announcer during the Miracle’s home opener on Friday, April 10 against the Charlotte Stone Crabs.

Osegueda has worked at a Cape Coral McDonald’s for four years. When Obama called on him to ask the final question Tuesday, he praised the Lord for Obama’s visit and asked the president about his plans to help increase benefits for people like him.

Osequeda, who is studying communications at at Edison State College, wants to be a broadcaster or disc jockey.

1. How funny? Wingnuts think they own God.. yet, Julio and Miss Harriet are

the true blessings.. and prove Obama is much more of a Saint than their Ronnie-Boy.

2. That kid was so cute.

He was obviously nervous and very excited, but even so, you could tell he had a good voice for broadcasting/announcing. And that poor lady, Henrietta. That was heartbreaking. I'm glad she got help.

3. We should be cautious lest Julio becomes our "Joe The Plumber."

He's a college kid who wants to do sports announcing.

I hope we don't hold him up as a pundit.
