You were pretty good with that camera considering you were so close to him! Obama 08

haha, yeah...well, there was a wall of people in front of me, and though I was really close, I was just out of reach for a handshake. So I focused on my camera skills instead. ;)

Thank you for posting this. My daughter will never forget it! You made my wife's mothers day.

You're welcome! But is that your daughter in the yellow? She was really cute and was standing right by us! My mom and I noticed her because we said she looks like the actress Christina Ricci! :)

[ztapper]

Yes, it was special moment for her and we forgot the camera. Thanks again!

Oh awesome! I'm happy I was able to catch this moment for you. If you would like a clearer version of it, I can always send you a copy of it to your email.

Well, good job. Sounds like there's another family appreciative. We went with my 3 year-old Obama fan who couldn't be anywhere near the speakers. So our vid is from wsaaay far back on the grass! :) So it's good to see him in our town up close! Cheers :)

Needs to work on that salute. Kind of weak, but that's Obama for you. Quite the ruckus crowd in Eugene.. Great football fans out there.
