I just gotta say, Obama just keeps goin' and goin' and goin'

[gateley]

When he arrived in Seattle last night I was in my jammies, when he was speaking to women in somebody's backyard this morning I was STILL in my jammies!

The dude just doesn't stop! I don't know how he does it!

And every time he arrives he's looks crisp, alert, energetic (he doesn't get to come off of Air Force One in HIS jammies and crash in the back of the limo on the way to the hotel), then he's up at the crack of doom the next morning being all smiley and inspirational and HAPPY!

He's giving his all, I am in awe.

1. I gotta recommend this one

cuz I was in my jammies too, and still am! I wish I could be in the backyard where he is right now, but I'm just glad he's here in town at the moment.

Washingtonians, please vote!

5. We don't have an excuse -- all but two counties are mail-in. nt

2. He's younger than I am

One of the advantages of a "youthful" president. He's in pretty good shape, and can handle the time shifts and long hours with just periodic rest. Bet ya he takes a nice long trip to Camp David on Nov 3.

3. I'm going to try to see him at USC tomorrow

IF I can drag myself out of bed and shake the grogginess early enough to make what is sure to be a long, slow trek to the rally.

*Sigh* I wish I had HIS energy! :)

6. I read where they moved it to a larger venue on campus - hot ticket! Hope you get to go! nt

11. I'm also going to a Jerry Brown rally in the San Fernando Valley Sunday

I'll be worn out, and these guys will still be going like Energizer Bunnies. :)

12. Toward the end pull a "faint" thing in the audience so you'll be carried out

and won't have to shuffle out with the masses. Plus probably get some free water, too! :7

It'll be worth being worn out - I know you'll just have a wonderful time and we expect you to be our reporter on the ground!

I'll look for you on TV! :hi:

4. And it sounds like he has a cold.

[polichick]

7. Just heard his backyard talk on POTUS radio - good stuff...

imo he's at his best when campaigning.

10. Agree -- he comes alive. nt

8. Hell, it takes me a good part of the morning

to wake up enough to go do some exercise.

9. Have to agree but, then again, maybe you should get dressed.

;-)

13. Thanks to you, I have this mental image of Obama wearing bunny slippers

And Sasha and Malia are in the back, giggling their heads off. :hi:

[gateley]

14. Ha! And a big fluffy bathrobe! nt

15. We picked up one grandkid at 6:30,

another at 6:40. Then an hour in traffic and a 30 minute walk through the parking lot to find the END OF THE LINE waiting to get into the Rally in Seattle today.

I usually do not see the early side of 9 AM. Many folks (younger than we) camped out in line. We were probably in the 7,000s somewhere and made it in before they diverted to the overflow in the football stadium.

The crowd was VERY enthusiastic and so were we! Both of these kids campaigned for Obama in 08 with us. We had a GREAT time. He was a great speaker for Senator Murray.

There were lots of UW students there, of course.

Brave President Obama! We love you!
