President Bush just touched down at Maxwell AFB. He is here in Montgomery for a townhall meeting on Social Security Reform. I tried to get tickets, but, alas...I am a powerless, middle-class worker with no connections. I was put on a "list," to be called back if tickets were available. However, without political clout to call someone who knows someone, I am going to watch the President on TV.
The President is in my city, speaking on the political issue I am most passionate about, speaking on the issue that I have written my congressman and senators about, speaking on the issue that I have spent the most time detailing on this blog...and I don't even get a chance to get close enough to be in the same room with the man and maybe shake his hand.
I must admit I am little disappointed about not being able to see him. Not a lot. Just a little. After all, he is just a man. His message doesn't change because I am not there. It just would've been fun...
