<p>Whoo! I can’t wait!</p>

<p>Umm…</p>

<p>Total speculation here but:</p>

<p>I just found out that Obama will be in Miami Friday night (4/15) for a fund raiser. The Global Initiative opening is Saturday morning (4/16). Seeing that he spoke at the opening of Clinton’s last Global Initiative and that the subject matter is going to focus on Haiti, I would bet money that Obama will be at the UC on Saturday! Should be crazy there!!!</p>

<p>Hmm… It’s not official, and he’s not listed on the schedule… but it could be a surprise. I mean, c’mon, we have two major democratic party leaders there (President Shalala and President Clinton), how can he not? It’s too much of a coincidence… he has to come! :stuck_out_tongue: Hopefully! Is your son or daughter going? I and my friend are and can’t wait. I’m really excited to meet the NPR host of the show “All Things Considered”. I always listen to that show when I wake up in the morning.</p>

<p>Well I don’t know if Obama likes Clinton. One of the reasons he was hesitant to give Hilary a cabinet position is because he was scared it would come with Bill.</p>

<p>Now, even though I am an ardent conservative, having Obama @ the UC would be pretty cool.</p>

<p>My daughter is not interested in this kind of thing at all which makes me crazy because I would kill to be there! She is going on a really cool dive that day where they are taking corals that the Marine School has grown and replanting them in a reef off the coast to try to bring the reef back to a healthy state.</p>

<p>She actually works at the University Center info desk and is swapping her shift on Saturday night so she can do the dive. They are having a dinner for the big wigs at the UC patio that night so she will miss out on all the action. She is happy about this as it will be crazy there that night.</p>

<p>That is all in the past of the primary. Now Obama has done a lot with Bill. He actually spoke at the last opening of Clinton’s Global Initiative meeting. Bill was named by Obama as the special envoy to Haiti, and Obama and Hillary have gotten along very well. </p>

<p>Still nothing but speculation on my part.</p>
