Why no threads about Obama's Hyde Park rally?

Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 10:27 PM by jenmito

I watched it on C-Span video just now here: http://www.c-span.org/Watch/Media/2010/10/30/HP/A/40164/Pres+Obama+Attends+a+DNC+Moving+America+Forward+Rally.aspx Is it because nobody knew where to watch it? I hope it was a big crowd-I couldn't tell from the video but they sounded fired up!

6. I was pretty close. . .seriously

This is POTUS hugging mutual friend (yes we have about 4 mutual friends) as you can see his face is all up in my camera.

This is right before he shook my hand after our friend introduced me to him.

10. Firm, I got lucky in that a mutual friend introduced us. . .

. . .and reminded him of where he'd know me from. It was pretty cool. I met Barack Obama a number of times, this is the first time I met President Barack Obama.
