The American Jobs Act White House Tweetup


 My "Golden Ticket"


Welcome to Jamestown, NC


The President was safe and secure


with lots of news coverage (including yours truly)


at the Mary Perry Ragsdale Family YMCA venue for the "bus tour" stop.


My copy of the American Jobs Act


Finding my seat


among Americans of all walks of life;


Americans through and through.


The press box was filled with broadcasters from all over


and from the floor, your White House tweetup spokesman for today.


The following is a tweet-by-tweet (with a few video inserts and photos) of President Obama's speech:

The weight of the Jobs Act does not address other issues like taxing unemployment checks and other hardships. #whtweetup

And so ends my detour to Jamestown, NC, today, where I took a short step to the left and joined a majority of Democrats in hearing the President talk about real change for Americans. I don't agree with all of the provisions in his plan, but for those I am in favor, I hope that both parties in the Senate and Congress will quit playing games with the lives of average Americans and remember that we put them in office to do the right things for all of us, not just their favorites.

What a memorable experience this was, both to be there for the speech as well as to be able to share the experience with all of you.
