[Hope And Change]

1. K & R!

[nc4bo]

2. These people are fired the freak UP. Wow! nt

[NatBurner]

10. right?

i'm a little jealous :)

[1corona4u]

3. I don't know why they didn't do it outside...it's beautiful here today!!

[mohc]

13. I wish it were outside too

The smaller venue meant they had very limited tickets available. I tried to get some yesterday but did not hear about this event until too late. I live about 3 miles from where this event is taking place. Disappointed I was unable to go, Ive decided to make the drive down to Miami and see him this evening.

[1corona4u]

18. Ditto...it's arround the corner from me, but I am stuck--waiting for a

large shipment to get here, and of course, I have no delivery window. :eyes:

PS. Miami will be a zoo....good luck with that! Take a camera please! We'd love a report. :-)

[El Fuego]

42. Hey, I've got neighbors in this thread!

:hi:

I live really close to PBCC! Barack's in my 'hood! It kills me that I have to work today.

[Schulzz]

4. Thanks! nt

[Clio the Leo]

6. There appears to be a kind of conference table there....

It's a kind of meeting of business leaders.

When you are Barack Obama, and you want to deliver a more serious address, you go INSIDE and put up flags behind you. This time we only have regular American flags and not those strange "Obamanation ones." :-)

DOAH!!!! Light bulb moment!

I just realized why McCain does all of his rallies inside ..... to protect his skin. Makes sense. I had seriously been wondering about that. I had been chalking it up to crowd size all this time.

[oviedodem]

5. This is an ecomic summit; notice the panel speakers table

[Clio the Leo]

7. He's up now!!! NT

[BootinUp]

8. The crowd is going wild. nt

[Lochloosa]

9. K/R

[Clio the Leo]

11. "I'm gonna sit with the panel and ask them questions..."

Anyone else get the impression we're watching him interview potential cabinet members? lol

Do we get to vote at the end? :)

[1corona4u]

12. His way of 'introducing' them to the public?

or most of them anyway....

[Clio the Leo]

15. Yep and showing the world ......

.... his ability to surround himself with folks who know how to get things done. Which, by his own admission, is one of his greatest attributes.

[Clio the Leo]

14. Mark my words, the man will outlaw booing.....

... anyone found guilty of booing will be required to do community service.

Why? Because booing is not cool. :)

[CADEMOCRAT7]

24. He is a class act. He stops it right away. We just need to vote !

Booing is not cool, I agree. I believe we get to have our pie now.

[Clio the Leo]

16. lol, did he just say, "the pie is shrinking?"

"the pie is shrinking, it's not growing...."

And I was afraid since it was not an acutal rally, we wouldn't get any pie. lol

[JPZenger]

17. self-deleted

[HughMoran]

19. Thanks, I'm watching it!

:D

[QueenOfCalifornia]

20. Did you hear

someone yell "I love you!" and Obama said "I love you too!"?

It was awesome!

I get goosebumps when I listen to him..

How many people are there?

[Curtland1015]

21. Barack coming off as "flat" today.

I mean, I could certainly guess why... what with his Grandmother being ill. I certainly don't blame him.

I'm just saying. He's not out there with his regular vigor.

Oops, spelling edit...

[QueenOfCalifornia]

22. I must be watching

a different rally. :hi:

[1corona4u]

23. I think they have a lot to get in, in a short amount of time...

plus, Miami tonight is the real show...this is a community college.

[stillcool]

25. The speech is not the 'main event'..

it's just an opening.

[Clio the Leo]

26. This isn't a rally. NT

[Shakespeare]

38. This isn't a stump speech; it's an intro to a panel discussion.

Different setting, different purpose.

[Clio the Leo]

27. You gotta love his name card....

"Barack Obama" ..... I know I appreciate it, otherwise I would not have known who he was. :)

(everyone on the panel has a card with their name on it so we'll know who they are.)

[demokatgurrl]

35. Who else is there? Anyone whose name we'd know?

Is Krugman there?

[gblady]

39. Krugman, no...

but Volkar (SP?), Richardson, Granholm, Ritter, Strickland, head of the Googles...

[Loge23]

28. just to clarify "Palm Beach"

This is from Palm Beach Community College in Lake Worth, just south of West Palm Beach.
Not to be confused with the town of Palm Beach, of gazillionaire fame.

[Cha]

33. Thanks, I appreciate that..I

got here late.

[Clio the Leo]

29. He will also outlaw jackets.....

"This is how I'm gonna do things when I'm in the White House, use some common sense."

We all know how this goes ..... by the time of the Miami rally later this afternoon, tie will be gone and sleeves will be rolled up. ;)

[Clio the Leo]

30. Whoa! This Jennifer Granholm chic is amazing!!!

Not only is she a "hot" Governor (which we all know is important when selecting a candidate) she can talk in complete sentences!!!

She could whoop Sarah's hiney.

[stillcool]

31. Jennifer Granholm...

:thumbsup:

[Cha]

32. Thanks, Clio the Leo!

This is brilliant!

[Clio the Leo]

34. Hasn't anyone noticed the irony that while Barack is hosting this panel....

..... talking to business leaders about things that even *I* dont quite understand. John McCain is STILL apologizing to Joe the Plumber for how "evil Barack has been to you?"

Seriously, John is talking about Joe the Plumber.

Still.

Amazing.

Why Obama's lead isn't even bigger than it is is mind-blowing, the choice is clear.

[LiberalAndProud]

41. It's all about paying attention or not.

And many are not. Those who are voting McCain are voting for jingoism. Our choice is clear if we honestly weight our alternatives.

[Clio the Leo]

36. Look! It's Ted Strickland the lemon pie eater!!!!

And Gov. of Ohio!!!

Thank you Ted for your part in the pie metaphor!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!!

[Jennicut]

40. I will only be able to associate Ted Strickland with Lemon Meringue Pie for now on.

Thanks alot Obama. You and your damn love of pie.

[Clio the Leo]

43. I have found a kindred spirit in Ted....

... I too would have chosen lemon meringue.

On the other hand, I found Sen. Obama's clear disdane for cream pies, "they didn't have sweet potato pie, all they had were cream pies!" to be rather troubling.

Fortunately, since I have not voted yet, there is still room for McCain to worm his way into my heart. :sarcasm:

[Jennicut]

44. Yeah, why no love for the cream pies? what did they ever do to him?

I love Obama and his mention of pie. It really cracks me up.

[gblady]

37. Shawn, the iron-worker....

building a bridge for Barack to the White House...
love it!
