My Republican buddy saw Obama today and they both did the fist jab

[zulchzulu]

He was in Manitowoc, Wisconsin at Orion when Obama spoke and got up in the greeting line and when Barack came by said "give me a fist!" and Barack complied. My buddy laughed and Barack looked back at him smiling as he continued down the line.

I thought it was funny as hell. He said that Barack looked at him thinking "damn, that's a cool dude..."

My friend is a moderate Republican and was impressed with seeing Obama, which was his first time. Who knows what will happen... If anything, Barack is a good sport to all those that he sees in the greeting line.

As one who has seen him and met our President, I would highly recommend anyone to check him out when he's in your town.

but after he met him told me "I still hate him...but I get it."

2. LOL I met Ronnie Raygun a couple of time

(when he was Governor here) I still hated him and I never did get it.

5. Rudy Giuliani is just as much of an ass in person

as he is on TV :)

7. My husband met Clinton.

He got it, but then again, he gladly voted for the guy. They had a nice little discussion about my husband's necktie which Clinton liked (given as a gift by my conservative FiL).

8. The first time I met Obama (2006) I called him out for his Lieberman endorsement

it was at a book signing in Denver, and after I gave him my two cents he totally charmed me.
