I'm impressed with Senator Obama. He was a very nice and cordial man. Very accessible to the media. I shook his hand and got to ask him several questions. I can see why people are following this man around and like him so much. He is just that guy next door. Senator Obama is a hard guy not to like.When I asked him where he stood on the War In Iraq Sen. Obama said, "It's time for us to bring our troops home. I want us to get our troops out. Our combat troops out of their day to day role by next year and that's something we can accomplish."
Senator Obama is also very big on global warming. He says we can all do our part.
"We can increase fuel efficiency standards on cars," said Senator Obama. "We can change our light bulbs in our businesses. We can tell our industries that they've got to stop sending out greenhouse gases."
Those were just a few questions I got to ask. A Huntsville Times reporter asked him who he had in mind for a running mate. He said he hadn't even thought about it. Yea right. I'm sure that's the last thing on his mind. He does have to make it past the primary.
So I think it's pretty cool this is the third presidential candidate I've got to be in close quarters with. Only the second I've got to answer MY questions.
The first was Senator John Edwards. That situation was pretty much the same situation as yesterday. I had a one on one interview with Senator Edwards in Montgomery. The Montgomery Advertiser actually snapped a picture of that interview and put it in the paper.
My other presidential candidate was Rudy Giuliani. I tried asking questions, but the national media ran over us local media. That was at the Space and Rocket Center not long ago. I wrote about it here on the blog. Just look back a few reports to find it.
I hope more candidates come to the Rocket City so I can find out who I want to vote for in the 2008 Presidential Election.
