Valentine's Day was quite exciting around here! President Obama came to Decatur to talk about the importance of Pre-K education and visited our very own CHECLC and gave a speech at our brand new Rec Center! Decatur's no stranger to Presidents; Bill Clinton came through in '92 on a re-election tour and I saw him at my high school stadium!
Decatur is a fairly blue city, so the only protesters were poorly organized environmentalists (which is a shame, I do agree with them about the Keystone Pipeline) and everyone was in high spirits. The police/SWAT/state troopers/secret service/visiting LEOs were all very kind, attentive, and a pleasure to spend time with while Obama was in the rec center. I missed seeing him by half a second, but it was still amazing to be there!
