Some members of Cyber Blue were having lunch in Manchester when the Clinton bus and media team came in for a talk with local residents. They had a good talk about FIRST robotics. This picture shows Kevin Kelly, Steve Warner and Steve Wherry, with Scott Ritchies "Cyber Blue" jacket on the side |
Re: pic: Cyber Blue with Hillary 1
Here's a little bit of a bet: No current big shot politician would do this sort of activity if there weren't cameras. I'd be willing to bet on that.
But anyway, that's cool that you folks got some attention. Hope you inserted a plug for FIRST? It would be sweet to get some serious national attention about FIRST, even more than we've already been getting. |

I hope you washed your hand after that. :D

Re: pic: Cyber Blue with Hillary 1
Well, it's easy to understand why Cyber Blue has so much media attention at lunchtime. Is that lady a mentor too or something? :D
(Just kidding, Ms. Clinton is on my short list of viable candidates, Iowa notwithstanding) To all you high shcool students out there: If you are going to be 18 by next November, then please register and VOTE! Don |
Re: pic: Cyber Blue with Hillary 1
Did you convince her to come to the regional in Feburary?:D I'm sure that would complete your homework from Dean that he gave us a few years ago.

Re: pic: Cyber Blue with Hillary 1
I heard rumors that NASA is selling Advertisement Slots for the kickoff on NASA TV to the candidates. :rolleyes:

Re: pic: Cyber Blue with Hillary 1
with all the candidates and FIRSTers in NH at the same time.....Its a great time to introduce the next president to FIRST.

Re: pic: Cyber Blue with Hillary 1
Talk about opportunity! Here Dean's been telling us for the last few years to contact our politicians and get them to come to FIRST events, and now we end up with some of the most influential politicians in the country descending on the backyard of FIRST at the same time as the FRC Kickoff.
I sure hope FIRST figures out a way to capitalize on these circumstances. As great as Dean's speech may be :rolleyes:, certainly getting one of the presidential candidates (and their entourage of media personal with cameras) would prove much more beneficial for a greater recognition of FIRST in this country. |
Re: pic: Cyber Blue with Hillary 1
In Israel we've got the president supporting FIRST and speaking at events, so it's time for you guys to cath up =]

I know this was posted as a joke. However, I do need to be clear about one thing since it has come up multiple times in the last 24 hours - absolutely none of the current political candidates will be appearing on camera during the kick-off broadcast. No representative of either party will be given a podium, nor be allowed to use the occasion as a campaign opportunity. Any candidate that may or may not be in attendance will remain off-camera, and will not appear in the broadcast. The kick-off broadcast is being enabled through the use of the NASA-provided communications resources, including satellite access and distribution. Access to these resources are provided the the expenditure of federal funds. Under the Hatch Act, NASA is completely prohibited from allowing the use of any of these resources for partisan political purposes of any form. We have made FIRST, the production company, all the cameramen at the event, and any representatives of any candidates that might nor might not be there, aware of this situation. We have been very clear that we will instantly pull the plug on the entire broadcast if this condition is violated, for even a fraction of a second. I don't want to be a buzzkill on the joke, but this is a topic that we take very seriously. -dave . |

Re: pic: Cyber Blue with Hillary 1
I thought it was neat when Senator Sununu spoke and said he is the only engineer in the Senate and that is not a good thing. I thought that was cool.
I'm not a political person nor do I enjoy discussing politics. However, I do enjoy thinking about engineers and scientists in strong positions of leadership seeking to create change. There was a lot of activity and preparation going on for the primary so the place was hopping. Kick Off was hopping as well. |
Re: pic: Cyber Blue with Hillary 1
That cafe has some good food.
I ate there with a few folks last year after kickoff. A year too early I guess some might say? :rolleyes: :p |
