An afternoon with Obama

I was allowed to see Obama speak in Los Angeles. Which was in Princes Risborough. I had to line up to hear him give a speech in a park and security directed me through to my podium. Each group of people had to fit on a small podium and my name was written on the edge of the podium. I was worried I would fall off. We watched from just outside the tent but before he started I somehow appeared inside the tent sat down near the front. I was looking around the back of the tent when I realised he had come out and stood at the microphone! I hadn't even realised how close I was. He began to speak.

Afterwards he was invited to a special viewing of our Tesco store. He and Michelle did some shopping and used the last checkout to pay. I looked around and nobody seemed to notice or be interested. Afterwards I went out to the car park and it had been emptied. It was full of Presidential vehicles and the air was as quiet as Christmas on a cold sunday. I looked above the Tesco sign and could see the managers laying out new chairs with big Tesco price stickers on them. They were setting them out for drinks with Obama overlooking the Tesco car park.

Then I was back in the park near where the speech was given. There was another big crowd and Obama was due to give another speech to different people. I was on a BMX and I rode around the crowd for a while.
