You probably havn't heard since the mainstream media isn't giving this too much attention, but on Saturday, Obama spoke in St. Louis under the Arch and more that 100,000 people were in attendance. This is the largest political rally EVER in the state of Missouri and the only place that more people came out to see Obama was in Berlin. GO MO!!
Yes, Meik I was in attendence! Let me just say that I have never witnessed anything like that in my life. White, Black, Mexican, Asian, old, young, cute and oogly gathered together in the spirit of hope. A sea of people moved towards the Arch grounds and every now and again someone would shout "OBAMA!" Next thing you know erbody was chanting....I swear I teared up. When Obama's motorcade rode by everybody went wild! Whoever was standing next to you was your friend that day, it was a beautiful thing. There were a few assholes outside with posters of aborted fetuses and signs that said ignorant shit like "Obama Kills Babies" but nobody gave them a hard time outside of telling them to "get a life" or "go home". Imagine how we would be abused if we dared protest at a McLame/Painin rally, but I digress.
The overwhelming message Obama delivered was one of hope and enthusisam for what this country COULD be. He wasn't negative and even made a few funnies. One thing I observed was that it appears that Obama inspires people to want to be better. I mean, people didn't even litter! If someone tried to boo or say something out of the way about McCain, the people around them checked em. Like, "Thats not what Obama's about, let's be respectful.
I've never been more proud of my city...Then I wake up this morning and Colin Powell has endorsed Obama....Take that McCain! White House, here we come! OBAMA/BIDEN 2008
