I had the rare opportunity to see a United StatesPresident speak tonight and then got the chance to shake his hand! As luck would have it a friend of mine offered me two tickets to a Jon Corzine rally that former President Bill Clinton was due to speak at. It was sponsored by the Hudson County Democratic party and was held in Casino-in-the-Park in Jersey City. I will tell the full story tomorrow including how much my scooter helped out, but for now I wanted to post theses rather nifty picture that my friend Andrew and I took at the event. (click the pictures to zoom in)
Left to right: 1) The ticket that got me in 2-4)Security was tight, can you spot the secret service agent?
Left to Right 1) crowd warmer 2) national anthem 3) Bayonne Mayor Doria 4) Jersey City Mayor Healy 5) US Rep. Menendez
Left: Bill about to make his entrance, the rest are him entering

Bill came down into the crowd, I shook his hand, but we didn’t get that picture
