to go ahead and say something that's all
I can I just say this I completely
understand that because I've been at a
few events with the president and I have
that same urge in fact I've said a few
things which I've then reported to my

nerves ball of nerves there was
something kind of amazingly gracious in
the in the way the president then played
play played that out and kind of like
took your nervousness away from you to
basically reassure you that it was okay
and the whole thing wasn't the
mortifying nightmare that you possibly
thought it was for a
second right exactly exactly so have you

all your friends exactly the
conversation that the president mapped
out for you in that interaction inter

reached out uh everyone saw it on the
local news and it's just been uh pretty
interesting the last few days uh but I
mean it was just an experience I wanted
to give her I knew she was you know just
nervous going up there in the booth next
to him that she probably wasn't even
paying attention to her ballot but I
mean it wasn't anything that the
president did I want to make that clear
um it was just something that I always
do to her she knows very well it's my
personality I am very spontaneous and I
would just put her out in the Front
Street of anyone in order to make her
smile and laugh just like she did so hey

on voting on the
ballot oh I was trying I was trying
