14. Yeah, pretty amazing to me..no wonder

Obama didn't want to let go of his Blackberry.

[Life Long Dem]

31. There could be a way around this

Today CNN did an interview with Obama where he said there might be a way around that.

[DCBob]

13. will try. not sure how close we will get.

The presidential helicopter just flew over and buzzed us. Not sure if anyone significant was on board.

I also just got interviewed by a reporter from champaign urbana and she plans to write about me and will mention DU. I guess she was hurting for a story. Hehe.
