My best friend Carole Greene Halmrast Bastasz isn't long for this world.
I flew out to see her in Minneapolis a few weeks ago, and knowing how much she supports President Obama, I brought her the grey sweat-hoodie with Obama 2012 on the front, and she was thrilled. Well, it is also warm and cozy, but her thrill was, of course, showing her support for our president.
She's now in hospice, and she's asked a friend to bring her her Obama hoodie. She won't be able to vote this time, but she asked all her friends to vote for Obama. Carole has always been a giving kind of person, not wealthy but saintly, and quick with the checkbook for those causes close to her heart, like saving children and funding research, and the Democratic Party.
Obama needs us to show how much we need him. Let's buy out the Obama for President on-line store, for my kind friend Carole.
Carole says vote for Barack Obama.
