Would you cry if Barack Obama held your hand just like the lady in Iowa?

Question

How many people have heard this audio clip with the lady from Iowa shedding tears about about how "sincere" Obama is? She starts crying when she mentions holding Obama's hand. I don't know about the rest of you but I found this audio clip to be very funny. Who in their right mind would start crying over a presidential candidate holding their hand? i think this woman watches too much of the Oprah show. Please listen to the sound bite.

Here is the audio clip. Click on the audio link right under the lady's picture. The link says " Listen: Geri Punteney Says Barack Obama Seemed 'Sincere'

Answer 1

Ridiculous. This is what happens when you make celebrities out of your politicians instead of treating them like the servants they are meant to be.

Answer 2

You must not have heard the part where she told Obama that her brother has leukemia and is still working because he has inadequate medical coverage. She was crying because she has been watching her brother die. Typical Republican, not a shred of compassion for real people with real problems.

Answer 3

No. Maybe she was feeling just a little bit starstruck, kinda like how some teenagers cry when they meet their favorite pop star. lol :-)

Answer 4

Yeah...her breaking out in tears must have surprised Obama.
That is quite strange.

Answer 5

No,and I would not have thrown my under ware at Elvis either.

Answer 6

I think if he touched me I would vomit. I have no interest in even being in the same room with him.
