The crowd was amazing. It was awesome to see such a diverse crowd of people. What I found even more amazing was how many young children were at this rally. So many parents brought their children to witness this dynamic person that speaks of hope and Change. I think the biggest difference between him and the other candidates is that he says what he feels. He spoke for about 45 minutes and the phrase that stuck with me most was when he was talking about how “other” people said he needs more time in Washington. That he needs time to stew, time to simmer.
He then said it’s like they are saying that he needs more time in Washington so “They can boil the Hope out of him” I couldn’t agree more. The longer he stays in washington, the more he will become like all the rest of them….
The guy was on point he hit all the notes and really focused in on Energy, Education and Iraq. He said he would reinvest money into a plan that he has to create a clean green economy. He said he would reward teachers for their greatness with incentives. That they won’t have to pay for school supplies out of pocket. He even spoke of college credit money for every kid. Go figure. He said that our education system despites its’ slogan won’t leave thousands of children behid.
Call me crazy, but I believe him, which I think is the difference maker for me. I have hope that he will make a difference and change our country for the better.
I promised a few people that I would post their pictures, so here you go folks.
I think the diversity is the greatest part of this rally. I just don’t see the same crowd or these 2 colors embracing at one of their rallies
I took a picture of a book a lady was reading as we stood shoulder to shoulder waiting for Obama
