AWESOME Indiana Obama town hall yesterday. Took questions for an hour.

AWESOME EVENT and WITH plenty of QUESTIONS AND ENTHUSIASM !! SO piss on the FAKE report about his AWESOME post-PA Rally !! What a massive ration of total crapola that article and post were, which is why I emailed that paper and insisted they correct their propaganda.


Sen. Barack Obama told a thunderous crowd at Indiana University Southeast yesterday that he's the best candidate to bring change and he'll do it by spurning special interests and focusing on the needs of working Americans.

As the nation's political attention turned to Indiana -- one of the last primaries for Democrats trying to determine their presidential nominee -- Obama said he respects his opponent, Sen. Hillary Clinton and that they share "common ideas."

But he told the estimated 2,500 people in the IUS gym that they "do have a real choice."

"I believe the only way we're going to bring about the changes that you need to see in your lives and the lives of your community is if we don't just offer different policies, but we offer a different kind of politics in Washington," he said.

Obama spoke and answered questions from the audience for nearly an hour as supporters chanted, waved and cheered, often so loudly they drowned him out.

... Obama said he also plans to spend more time in Indiana, spreading his message that a fundamental change in thinking is necessary to find solutions to problems in health care, Social Security and the nation's energy policy.

Pauline Shanklin of Jeffersonville came to see Obama and said she believes he's the best choice for Democrats.

"I like his youth. I like his enthusiasm. I like his ideas," she said. "I'm tired of old Washington. We need a change."

J. T. Evans of Madison said he attended because he also believes Obama's message is the right one for the party and the nation.

"I think he's the best hope we've had in a long time to unite the country and not divide it," Evans said.
