Bossy isn’t even kidding: while she’s been on her Excellent Road Trip,
Bossy’s son jumped through administrative hoops in order to initiate a Students For Barack club in his school, and for his hard work he was rewarded with a seat on the stage when Barack held a nearby town meeting.
And here’s the exciting photo of Barack shaking Bossy’s son’s hand at the conclusion of his speech:
That’a right, no one took a photograph of Barack shaking Bossy’s son’s hand. Which reminds Bossy: never leave home again!
Victoria says
April 4, 2008 at 9:29 pmGood job Bossy’s son! Booo for no photo of him and Obama.
Biddy says
April 4, 2008 at 9:30 pmuh oh…i have a feeling mr. bossy is in big trouble!
and my goodness! that didn’t take long at all! you were just talking about this in dallas!
corrie says
April 4, 2008 at 9:51 pmCongratulations Bossy’s Man-child!!!!
Bossy~ he’s growin’ up babe… it’s the beginning of missing some things in his life, and to his credit he is building the beginning of an upstanding honorable one!
Kristin says
April 4, 2008 at 9:59 pmBossy’s son hooked up Bossy’s bloggrrrlll friend by putting a Students for Barack sign outside WRH’s classroom door. Photos were taken in said classroom. Not, of course, with WRH, because she was banished to the Barack-free zone of the building where she a) subbed history classes and b) was denied access to Barackamania. True story.
Jennifer says
April 4, 2008 at 10:01 pmHow cool is that?!?!
What Happens Next says
April 4, 2008 at 10:14 pmMaybe Bossy could recreate the photo with some of her awesome, er…”actor” dolls.
How great would that look in the old photo album?
Franca Bollo says
April 4, 2008 at 10:18 pmI second “What Happens Next”. Bring back Headless Ken!
Velveteen Mind Megan says
April 4, 2008 at 10:32 pmOh, holy hell, Bossy.
stepher says
April 4, 2008 at 10:57 pmD’oh! What a bummer.
Perhaps someone else in attendance will have a photo of your son shaking his hand or maybe at least in the same frame???

Foolery says
April 4, 2008 at 11:03 pmCheck with the girls in the group who are secretly in love with Bossy’s son. That should take a long, long time. Betcha one of them got a picture.
Does Headless Ken have his SAG card yet?
so NOT cool says
April 4, 2008 at 11:07 pmI knew it, I knew it. Only moms have FOREthought. Sheesh.
Kudos to your son!!
The Domestic Goddess says
April 4, 2008 at 11:32 pmOh my GAAAAAHHHHH. No freakin’ way.
And WRH couldn’t hook you up? Sheesh.

I’m building my “List” off of your sons characteristics. Apparently there are things I require that I didn’t even know that I required.

April 5, 2008 at 12:07 amWhen he gets to be famous, we can say “I once met his Mom, back in the day”
That’s one damn fine adult you raised there!
Grandma J says
April 5, 2008 at 12:26 amIf the local paper or TV people were there, they may have a photo.
A Whole Lot of Nothing / Angie says
April 5, 2008 at 12:36 amBossy’s husband needs a serious lashing for not taking pics.
Maybe you can do a John Cusack-like movie with Bossy’s son and Barack.
JCK says
April 5, 2008 at 12:44 amI’d ground him for life. Except that he arranged the whole thing. Maybe ground your husband?
Momo Fali says
April 5, 2008 at 7:43 amAck!!
Doug says
April 5, 2008 at 8:38 amI’m guessing my son and bossy’s would get along wonderfully. They seem to have the same interests, the same drive and the same motivation.
I’m curious of the list of colleges you checked out. I remember the post, and we are getting ready to take a similar roadteip this summer.
Email me the list with any comments if you can.
Meg says
April 5, 2008 at 8:48 amDid you know in advance and have time to remind Mister Bossy to BRING A CAMERA??!
Your son is da BOMB, Boss. Word.
Avitable says
April 5, 2008 at 10:11 amOh no. Bossy better kick some ass when she gets home.
Dara says
April 5, 2008 at 10:16 amHow could they forget to get a picture of that????
redlegphi says
April 5, 2008 at 10:34 amThat’s where I went to High School!!! Why the hell do I have to be stuck in Georgia?
All Adither says
April 5, 2008 at 10:37 amYour son and your boyfriend in the same room!
Debbie says
April 5, 2008 at 10:48 amWell gosh darnnit that sucks rocks. Barack’s been spending mucho time in NC lately. I’ve volunteered to help in the next few weeks. Michelle is going to be here Tuesday.
If you hadn’t just zoomed right thru NC so friggin fast….you may have had a photo op like your son! But being BOSSY..someone would have taken your picture!
Seriously, that opportunity and no pic? Crap.
dexter says
April 5, 2008 at 10:52 amI have a nice photo of me and Bossys son. If you want, I can cut my face out and photoshop Barack in. Only we will know it’s “Barack Obobo”
Laura says
April 5, 2008 at 11:16 amBossy-sorry about the picture faux pas-that sucks. Not to brag, but….I have a picture of me shaking Bill Clinton’s hand and I will forever cherish it. I’m just sayin’.
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
April 5, 2008 at 11:46 amFoolery has a great idea.
Excuse me now, I’m off to harass my 17 year old, almost high school graduate for not thinking of this.
Mr Farty says
April 5, 2008 at 12:24 pmWhat, *this* photo?

rosie says
April 5, 2008 at 12:41 pmyou cant be everywhere at once. Sounds like he’s doing just fine without you!
monnik says
April 5, 2008 at 12:55 pmMy MIL is a volunteer for Barack’s campaign and we got front row seats for a rally he did in Des Moines. Afterwards, we got to shake his hand and he KISSED my daughter on the cheek (she’s 14) and there i stood with my camera in hand so awestruck that I was frozen. So I have the same picture that you do…
Cindy Z says
April 5, 2008 at 12:58 pmCongratulations Bossy’s son! I would be very upset about the no picture! Next time you go anywhere tell family either stay home until you return or take camera everywhere 🙂
Oh, The Joys says
April 5, 2008 at 2:00 pmSo let me see if I got this right, your SON shook hands with your BOYFRIEND?! Heh.
mrs. blogoway says
April 5, 2008 at 3:16 pmYour son is so cute and the first time I visited your site, I saw his picture and I thought that was your husband (I was thinking… you go girl!) but seriously, good for him. You’ve had a great influence on him.
Just Jamie says
April 5, 2008 at 4:42 pmNice work Democrat Son.
Let’s Photoshop a pic and pretend you were there to take it.
See you Monday!
Beth from The Funny Farm says
April 5, 2008 at 6:53 pmThat is terrific that he got involved like this! Sorry about the no-photo thing!
I’m having a mini road trip this weekend… It is giving me a headache… HEE!
zenmomma says
April 5, 2008 at 10:19 pmThat is ALL the way cool for Bossy’s son! Too bad about the pic though.
Barack was in my town last week but he never even called to let me know. I was crushed.
kate says
April 6, 2008 at 2:02 ambossy’s son is totally cool.
Reese says
April 6, 2008 at 4:35 amNice that Bossy’s son is taking pics of Barack on his celly…
Jen says
April 6, 2008 at 11:04 amWay to go Bossy’s Son! You must be so proud…honestly.
kristin says
April 6, 2008 at 1:31 pmNow I know you think I am kidding when I say that I want Bossy’s son to wait for EvaJun, but I’m not and I am going to give you a check for a squillion dollars when you arrive to seal the deal.
