Pres. Obama rehearsing with John Kerry for the next debate in Wmsburg, VA [View all]

The president has set aside a serious chunk of time for preparation after being faulted for underestimating the importance of his first debate with Romney. He'll be hunkered down in Williamsburg, Va., from Saturday until Tuesday rehearsing with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass, acting as a proxy for Romney.

I was not aware of this until late last night. Here the story - I was walking down an isle of my local supermarket looking for canned tomatoes around 9:30 last night. Only a very tall well-dressed gentleman and myself were in the isle. Standing a few feet away, I glanced at him sideways and did a double take. "Excuse me, sir, do people tell you that you look like John Kerry?"

He turned and looked directly at me and said, "All the time."

"OMG, YOU ARE JOHN KERRY!!"

He smiled a big grin and said, "Yes, I am."

It was a surreal moment. Sen. Kerry in a supermarket, shopping for his own groceries by himself??!! I thought I must be dreaming. Remember, I did not know that he and the President were going to rehearse together, much less be here in Williamsburg!

I ran and found my hubs in another isle and brought him over and made a couple of camera shots. I cannot link/ post those pics because they're online only on my FB page and on DU's FB page.

True story. Do you think RMoney has ever shopped for his own groceries in the last 20 yrs, other than that photo-op?

Btw, my local, cheap Food Lion does not carry many Heinz products and Sen. Kerry asked me about that.

(I've cross-posted this from my original post on Politics 2012.)

Folks I can finally post one of the pics!
