President Obama is due to come to Charlottesville TODAY around 5pm to help Congressman Perriello campaign for the upcoming election! The Charlottesville community seems to be very excited about his presence, and many students are going to the downtown mall to see the President up close and personal. Of course, as Obama’s biggest fan, I would schedule a volunteer project on the same day at the very exact time he is due to visit. I hope everyone goes to the mall to take part in the experience, whether they are Democrats or Republicans. Regardless of your political views, Obama is our President and he deserves the utmost respect. It’s not that often that people get to see the President in person, so I definitely think everyone should maximize this opportunity. Have fun at the rally for all who go, and tell Obama his biggest fan says hi !
