Butrfly's Wonderings

"Don't be concerned, it will not harm you. It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of, Across my dreams with nets of wonder"

Late last night I checked my telephone messages from the last couple of days. Usually there are none or lots of hang-ups from people dialing the wrong number. To my amazement, this jovial, deep baritone voice starts talking to me. For the first half a minute I was skeptical, thinking it was my brother playing a joke on me because of my obsession with Obama. But, lo and behold it was the real deal. Better yet, it was the live real deal, not the typical recorded message from politicians. Now I have to figure out how to make a recording of it and then get it on my computer so other people can hear it!

I was so thrilled and impressed with his personal phone call! I've replayed it so many times now I can almost recite it with each nuance that was in his voice. I am so damned proud! How did he know that a genuine phone call would mean so very much more to me than an emailed or snail mailed recognition letter? There's no way the cynic in me can discount it this time as some staffer writing on his behalf.

Until I get a recording for everyone to hear, a transcription will have to do. Just read it while hearing his voice as you read.

Hi Lynn. This is Barack Obama. [long pause] Uh, I'm calling because you know we've been looking at folks who have been using mybarack dot com to organize in the community and uh I know you're one of them. I just want to say how much I appreciate your energy and enthusiasm for the campaign. The work you are doing to make sure we can win is being noticed and I hope you continue to get involved. I'm sorry I missed you, but please know I appreciate all that you are doing. [hmm] I hope you are planning to host a community gathering on March 31st and get your supporters to do the same. We really want to make a big push on that day. Talk to you soon. Bye Bye."


Damn, I'm glad I was on the computer and couldn't answer my phone. It would have been great to talk with him, but now I have proof for everyone to hear and I can play it repeatedly anytime I need a boost in my confidence. What a very nice, genuine guy!

I just saw the man at the rally in Oakland and I know he was up late at the Mark Hopkins fundraiser. How sweet of him to take time out to call and thank me, an unemployed peon who can't give much monetarily right now, but works her butt off to spread the word about his campaign with the hope that someone will notice and hire me.


I am bursting at the seams with pride and want everyone to hear his phone call to me. Please help me figure out how to get a recording of his message onto my computer. It's not a local answering machine that I can take and get transferred to a CD. It's a remote telephone company voicemail box that I have to somehow record and then transfer to a CD. The only way I know to do it is to purchase one of those telephone mikes that sticks on the end of the telephone and records what is being said onto a cassette tape. Is that still the best way to do this without having to spend much money? Unfortunately, there isn't a way to forward the message to someone else to record for me.

Comments:
The telephone recorder you're talking about like from Radio Shack for about $20 just use it on the microphone in spot on your sound card (the same as plugging it into a cassette recorder) and record direct to your PC. Start menu - all programs - accessories - entertainment - sound recorder is a program you can use to record it, acts just like a cassette player.

Looking forward to hearing it. :)
