But that is the area where I was working. Many of us found that we had to get out and do something. We joined the clean up crews. But there were times when things got to much. The outside Volunteers were told to watch for any signs of that. Sam, the team leader, saw I was starting to loose it and had me take a break. That is how I got to see the President. I didn't even know that he was going to be the area, or that it was an area he was going to go through.

We all thought he would manly be around the St. John's area since it was the area where at the journalist were. That was where all the other Political types were doing there thing. But Obama want to see the neighborhood.
