President Obama's 100 Days

Our Obama Field Coordinator called Monday to ask if I'd like to volunteer for President Obama's 100 Day Town Hall meeting. Of course I said yes. Tuesday evening was training and a walk through of the day. I was assigned to the press corp which meant keeping them in the assigned press area. It also meant I was as close as I'll ever be to a US President. We weren't allowed to bring large cameras so I borrowed my nephews. These aren't the best shots in the world but it documents a great milestone in our history and a great moment in my life.
