Bill Clinton was going to be at our polling place at 3:30! So I sprinted home from work, gathered up the kids, and joined our neighbors and the students at the North Carolina School for Science and Math and we waited for a shot to meet our last elected President. It was a pretty wild scene as the Obama Guerrilla Support Team showed up with their extra signs and megaphones and managed to drown out the Hillary supporters. It felt a little aggressive but it as impressive.
We ended up on the wrong side of the street and thought we weren't going to get a shot at a hand shake. Then we found ourselves on the other side of Clinton's car as he was headed out to leave. Then he spied Ella across the way, looked right at us, walked right past his car and came to shake both of our hands. It was pretty cool.
Here's a picture of Bill Clinton shaking our hand--we think.Thanks for coming to our neighborhood, Bill. Come on over for coffee sometime. Just ignore the Obama sign out front.
