Just realized that the last politician I have ever "seen" was Gerald Ford when I was a kid. It was at an indoor stadium-like venue, and my dad and I were way up near the rafters.
If I'm remembering correctly, there was less security then for seeing a U.S. president than there is now just to get through the danged airport.
I saw King Bush II, and his big headed (literally his head is like 5 times the size of GWB) brother Jeb back in 04. Chanted 4 more years like a drone, but in my defense I was 17.
