Cross posting from GDP cuz it was AWESOME.

We were 3rd row center. :bounce:

There were about 20,000 there. Not bad for 48 hours notice! The best seats were given to labor unions (my mom's a member :patriot:). The Marcus Amphitheater in Milwaukee was nearly full and the crowd was beautiful and amazing. The wait was long, but so worth it. The speech was short, but inspiring and made me tear up.

Oh.. AND my dad got a TERRORIST FIST JAB from Obama!! :bounce:

The stage:

17. My dad was all like "I shook his hand!!" and then as we were walking out, he said

"he started to give me the fist thing..."

I stopped him and said "THE TERRORIST FIST JAB!?!? WHY DIDN'T YOU FIST JAB HIM!?!"

He said "I did, but then I grabbed his hand and made him shake mine."

I was like "Dad, you have to tell people the fist jab part!"
