Meeting With David Axelrod, Chief Strategist to Senator Barack Obama

On June 11 Cathy and I and a group of supporters
met with David Axelrod at a luncheon in Dallas.
David is the Chief Strategist to Senator Barack Obama.

David was a laid back guy sporting a moustache, which
is not common for most white guys. He told us how he
met Obama and that they have
been friends for more than 15 years. David stated why
he thought Barack was the right guy to be president.
He's a man of principle and he's bright and a quick
study. Also Barack is committed to making things
better for all Americans. David related
also how he was one of the key guys who helped get
Harold Washington elected as the first black mayor
of Chicago. At the end of his presentation David
got a standing ovation.

hi debra. good to hear from you. the luncheon was awesome. the demand for reservations was so great that the venue was changed from a supporter's home to the sheraton dallas hotel. Dave's a pretty laid back white guy who has made his mark getting black candidates elected. he received a standing ovation after his talk and a lively and informative q&a period followed. the food, too, was pretty good for a political event. loveya. GodBless.
