If anyone gets a ticket they don't want PLEASE
direct message me. I have many questions I would really like to ask
Moderator cut: President Barack Hussein Obama.
Moderator Note: If you're going to use his middle name, then include the rest of his name as well. Thanks.
I would love to see our president, Barack Hussein Obama speak too. I'm sure he would love to answer any question you may have, and I'm also sure it would not be one that he hasn't heard before. If you get a ticket I hope you can really appreciate the experience!
Mike

This visit will no doubt be nationally televised. Do you know what my biggest concern is? It's that the national media will once again pick the one guy that has no teeth and can't pronounce his words properly to interview. I have family that live all over the country and sure enough, whenever the national media seems to interview anyone from this area, it seems to be that one guy. I have to spend the next week explaining that is not how everyone here is. I don't know how they manage to pick out a person that represents the typical false southern stereotype, but that always manage to. The Weather Channel does it all the time.
If anyone sees a camera headed in the direction of this guy, PLEASE stop him from getting on camera.......LOL.

Hussien Obama.
I think this comment might qualify as "tiptoeing" into politics. Unless you make a habit of referring to people solely by their middle and last names -- Walker Bush, Jefferson Clinton, etc. -- there is no reason to refer to our current President as "Hussien [sic] Obama", regardless of your political views.
EDIT: Sorry, looks like I was late by a few seconds. Looks like the moderator caught this.

Don't worry! I have to work that day so I will not be in attendance.

It can't be helped.
He is flown in from Central Casting.

I got tickets. I got tickets.
I got tickets to hear Obama speak!
Anyone else going?
Glad you have the opportunity to see a president in person. I went to Reynolds Coliseum in 1960 with my dad to see JFK on his campaign swing. He shook my dad's hand and put his hand on my shoulder. We didn't have seats, but happened to be standing in the right spot as he walked in....anyway, hope you can get close
