Here's a hilarious photo that shows how we, ordinary people, are willing to go an extra length to get in the same picture of our idols.Caught this at Oddly Enough: A woman kneels to get her picture taken beside the table of the Obamas and the Bidens at Yankee Kitchen Family Restaurant, during a campaign stop in Boardman, Ohio, August 30, 2008.

It's not only the picture that makes me laugh, but also the letter written at the web page:
"Dear Patty, I’m afraid Mom has had another setback in the area of hallucinating.I bet, if the photo is real, that Patty's mom there took the picture with the help of mobile phone camera. Because otherwise Secret Service agents have definetely confiscated the camera. ~LOL~
She has been doing so well, but today at breakfast she dropped her fork, crawled over to the next booth to get it, and claimed she saw the Obamas and the Bidens. Like all they have to do with their time is have waffles and patty sausages here at the Yankee Kitchen!
You may disagree, Patty, but I consider this to be even worse than last month, when she saw all four Beatles over there at Applebee’s!
Anyways, we wouldn’t play along with her. Doc told us to just ignore her, and she’ll soon stop making up this hogwash!"
UPDATE: According to Bob Basler from Oddly Enough, the photo is indeed real. Thanks Bob!
