It was a great presentation. Tony Lake spoke about 2/3 of the time and Cassandra Butts for the remainder. I asked a dual question about energy policy and she handled part and had him finish with the foreign policy aspects.

There were only about 20 people there and before and after the formal presentation both speakers were available so I got to ask them additional questions and listen while others asked them questions. Cassandra Butts' presentation was very good and Tony Lake's presentation was great. I kept thinking that to hear this anywhere else I'd have to sign up for a $100 a plate dinner or take a college class.

I went in undecided and I still am, but it would be nice if I could have found a similar event with Richard Holbrooke speaking for Hillary Clinton. Of course, if I did I would have asked why he thought the Iraq invasion was a good idea.

Still, I would have like the opportunity to give equal time. Unfortunately for Hillary, the Obama web site make it easier to find events and the Obama team is making themselves more available.

BTW, I forgot to bring my camera and so I had to make do with the cellphone.

Below are pictures of Tony Lake with Cassandra Butts and Tony Lake with me and the family.
