I witnessed Governor Charlie Crist greeting Barack Obama at MacDill Air Force Base prior to Obama's town hall mtg happening now in Tampa, Florida. This footage may disappear but I saw Crist holding both of Obama's hands-arms and Crist did most of the talking but the camera didn't have audio for what Crist was saying.

There's a list of acquaintances of Barack H. Obama and the list deserves its own thread for reference purposes and if you have new ties to Barack Obama, please post their name and if applicable, their aliases. Please post how they know Barack Obama and why it matters.

Persistent and Loyal Friends of Terri and of the U.S. Constitution, I'm home from today's hearing which was held at the Criminal Courthouse Complex on 49th Street, Clearwater before Judge W. Douglas Baird. Once I collect my thoughts from today's hearing which just adjourned about a half an hour ago, I'll post them here. Initially, I wasn't going to do any reporting re: the hearing but it was enlightening.
