Senator Hillary Clinton's visit to Albuquerque

Senator Hillary Clinton in Albuquerque

I got the email for Senator Clinton's Campaign early Saturday that told me that she would be at the Highland High School for 8:00 pm until 10:00 p.m. At 6:00 p.m. the local news cast was reporting that there were already 100 people at the high school. I arrived around 6:30 pm and found parking. It was nice that we did not have to have tickets for the event. It showed that all democrats were welcome to the event. The line to get into the school was out to the side walk by the time I arrived. The people were friendly in line we talked because we had to wait for about an hour to get into the hall. The local politicians were getting signatures to get onto the ballot. Martin Heinrich's people were there as were Michelle Grisham's people. It is nice that Democrats can get together and just fall into talking about politics in this manner. Most people treat politics like religion. They behave like both subjects are forbidden areas to be talked about in public. Is it any wonder why both areas are losing supporters over the past few years?

After I got into the hall I found a place on the floor where I had every hope to see Senator Clinton from and waited for her to show. Senator Clinton arrived around 8:45 pm. Her plane had experienced mechanical problems and was delayed. When she started her speech one of the people who had been waiting fainted, Senator Clinton and her daughter both showed concern for the individual. They ask for the medics and passed water to the person. After the person was taking away for treatment, Senator Clinton apologized for the long wait and explained why she had been late to the event. The crowd was very supportive and understanding. There is always someone in the crowd that dose not understand that it will be a packed place and you will not have room to move around in during the event. People who have problems with this either physical or emotional should think twice before going to this type of event. I know everyone would want to see the candidate in person but some people are just not meant to attend such crowded events. These types of people can show signs of strange or angry behavior for no reason at all. At any rate the medics were able to take care of the person who fainted and no one in the crowd upset anyone that was having an emotional responce to the crowd.

Senator Clinton stated her speech

Senator Clinton talked about Health Care for all. She asked if the US House and US Senate were taking advantage of socialized medicine. She also talked about the profits that oil companies are reporting now and how unfair it is that the general public can not afford gas while the oil companies are reporting record profits. She promised to change that if elected to the oval office. She spoke about education and how hard it has become for parents to send their children to college. She pointed out the programs that she had used to get through law school and how those programs needed support and help to be able to provide education to future generations. She spoke about the environment and how she would bring people from all the developed countries together to work on a plan to help stop global warming. She spoke about using renewable energy sources and how our state could help provide that type of energy for the country. I must admit that I could not disagree with any plans she had for our country. If elected I think that she would make a good president. Let's also hope that she has learned a thing or two from her husband over the years.

Senator Obama visit to Albuquerque, New Mexico

Senator Obama came to Albuquerque on Friday. His event opened at 10:30 and started at 1:15 during the day. I am a working mother and could not take the time off to see him. I wish that he had been able to hold his event so that working women could have been able to see him. I hear that he is doing well in the polls. I guest that he saw the people he wanted to see during his visit to Albuquerque. All I know for sure is that I could not be one of them.
