2. Impressive and beautiful! He sure knows how to do it right. I thought

his entrance into the Steak Fry was nothing short of genius.

Are ALL these people there for Obama? What's the event?

My daughter and I had lunch in that very park just this August. What I wouldn't give to have been there today. What an awesome crowd!

GObama!

that come to see him is what it is all about.

8. WHA???? A huge, enthusiastic crowd for Obama? How can this be?

According to some DUers, he was to be packing in his campaign after last night.

9. The DUers dream is for his campaign to be over. I say, look at this crowd and weep!

23. I thought Obama got just as much support as any of the

other candidates around here- maybe even more! :shrug:

But I have to admit, this board is tough on EVERYONE

10. How did he miss The View today ?

And be in DC to vote at the same time, and be back again?

Love the guy, but WTF? I still have the Senate live on Cspan....voting on the SCHIP now.

...and he's sick?

13. That must be a delayed broadcast

My mother told me earlier that she was going to go watch it, as I was reading on DU that the bill had passed with a veto proof majority.

[Catchawave]

21. I'm watching Cspan2 live right now...is he there ?

I hope so :hi:

[illinoisprogressive]

15. the vote was at the same time as the view. He had to be there to vote today.

11. Oh man! That used to be my old stomping ground!

What a great crowd! Gobama!

[jefferson_dem]

16. That was his stomping ground too, of course.

He mentioned in his speech that he used to hang in this very park when he lived in NY (as a student at Columbia U.). Perhaps you two crossed passed back in "the day." :bounce:

[jenmito]

19. Really? He's about 6 years older than me (he's 46, right?)...

I used to hang out in that park and play violin with any other musician I saw (usually a guitar player). Maybe he put some money in my case! :D

[illinoisprogressive]

12. even with Bill along, they cannot draw this kind of crowds. wow.
