Obama waved at my son-n-law yesterday
He works at Pentagon for a general, he is a major in air force. He loves to golf and went to the military one yesterday and Obama came there and waved at him. Made his day. Also he got email to get private tour of east wing at White house. (nothing to do with seeing obama yesterday) My daughter and him had already gone on the public one in Dec.

They are the ones who first told me about Obama years ago when I wanted Gore to run. They keep politics to themselves because of his career and my daughter says most military is still very conservative and religious and they don't go to church. She said sometimes she is looked down on for not taking
her kids to church.

2. That would be neat to have a private tour.
I'd overstay my welcome, though, gawking at the art and antiques.

4. My daughter, a freshman at UNM, shook his hand in Albuquerque
Obama asked her name, she said she was very nervous.

5. Kyle already waited in line in Seattle
when Clinton came for a book signing back around 2003. He was in his military clothes and Clinton talked to him for a few minutes and shook his hand and signed his book.

So now they have seen two presidents sort of up close.

6. I got news for you. We have over 60 yrs service in the military all retired. No one has
ever silents us on our politics. Of course most enlisted people are democrats (or at least when we were in). My husband retired in 95. He was a chaplain's assistant. We never never told others not to go to church. Never had any of us had problems. But I do know since the evanaglicas have been infiltrating the military it wouldn't be surprising. I of course he is an officer.
