1. Obama should probably have an official logo on his podium.

That sign is from the campaign theme.

16. You have to hand it to these people.....

... BEST use of "flags with dramatic lighting" I have ever seen.

There are 8 flags .... I have never counted them before ..... wonder if there are always 8 flags. Symbolism?

'08 ... 4+4 = 8

[ellacott]

23. In Christianity the number 8 means new beginnings

I don't know if there are always 8 flags.

[DS1]

31. And when you see Obama, you really see yourself
