Party like It’s January 20th 2009!

            People love political buttons! They flaunt them all over various articles of clothing. People often don’t enjoying showing their age, but their political buttons often give away the answer. For example, my political buttons begin with Clinton. I will admit, I am a political button collector, so I had to go on a hunt for my Barack Obama buttons! Everywhere you walk, you can buy buttons, street corners, sidewalks, stores, CVS, I chose to get mine at Union Station. The “I was there one” was worth all $2.99. There are also “official” buttons but those can only be bought through the DNC. I’ll make a stop there before I go home, but you can buy them online too and pretend as if you were there too! Theme Party!             Obama greeted me in the hall way!                         Well it wasn’t the real Obama, it was a cardboard cut out of the Obama pointing toward the party.             For a moment, I didn’t know if I was at a Hawaiian or 4^th of July Party. Red, white, and blue leis were being passed out as people walked around in those plastic flag hats. I later found out that the leis were because Obama has roots in Hawaii, so obviously there had to be leis, and patriotic ones, what could be more perfect. Inside, the crowd of mostly journalist from NPR chatted about the President Elect, and their plans for this 4 day party in DC all well munching on Obama cookies. Yes, Obama’s face was even on the cookies!
