I really cannot adequately express how special Friday night was, when Cooper, through his old navy buddy Brandon, set it up for Coop, Zollie, Boo, and me to be on the stage when President Obama spoke in Charlotte, so we got a chance to shake his hand both as he was coming on the stage and afterwards. Brandon is the person who runs the teleprompter for the president – or most times for the vice president, he said – so we got some behind the scenes info, which was great. While we were waiting to go on stage we sat in the VIP area, and Brandon came over to visit with us as he could while he was working. This was one of my favorite pictures of the night.
And my second favorite picture – Brandon took this of us after the rally was over. It was definitely a night we won’t ever forget.
