I'm so excited right now. I just talked to Barack Obama at my gym. I've seen him there before but never had the chance to talk to him. He's so down to earth. I see celebrities all the time at the gym but never been this thrilled over one! For those who don't know Barack Obama is a Democratic presedential candidate.

That's so awesome!! To think, you may have chatted at the gym with the next President of the United States! I actually really like him and I hope he goes all the way! (Make sure you tell him that for me the next time you are both pumping iron!! lol J/K)
I'm a wee bit jealous, but I actually think I would act like a 13 year old schoolgirl if I met him, all giggly and shy. Someone I know waited on him and his wife. He said he was charming, friendly and funny and left the perfect tip. Not too big and showy and not too small.

He is so charismatic and as lame as it sounds totally a man of the people. Like he just had one baggy sweats and some random T Shirt. No body guards ( which Jesse Jackson never come to the gym without 2 bodyguards which I think is so lame) he was just doing circuit training and he let me work in on a machine he was using which I thought was so exciting. He tapped me on my arm and I swooned. My trainer was laughing at me but I don't care he's great and like NCShopper he really inspires me. On a side note, we also share the same dentist which I think is so cool.

Wouldn't it be funny if you ran into him at the dentist's too?! That is so cool that you met him, and that he was so nice and real. Like the others said, he's the first politician to inspire me in a long time.
