5. I'm sure they were paying attention. That's what people do when a president speaks.

12. Good picture, would have loved to been there.
I do have a good close up of him in a golf cart in FL taken a couple of years ago. A friend of mine is retired and works there part-time in return doesn't have to pay to play there.

10. It wasn't that at all
They were just listening intently. He had the crowd in the palm of his hand from the minute he opened his mouth.

22. Is this the one MSNBC was showing?
They played quite a bit of some campaign stop and I thought it was ok, but nowhere near riveting.

Is his personal charisma so much more impactful in person I wonder? I heard he is incredible in one on ones.

Just curious.

26. Yes best stump speech giver ever
He is incredibly talented at this. That's why I went. I am not a Hillary supporter but I couldn't turn down a chance to hear Bill speak.

8. It was wonderful
He gives the best stump speech I have ever heard. 45 minutes, no notes, all from memory. Lots of details and statistics and numbers supporting his points. The man is a friggin genius.

And he was making a point saying "Number Two" when I took this. But hey, I am an anti-war activist. So I LOVE this picture :)

9. That's the problem with you...and other Obama supporters
You simply want to get caught up in the hype and thrill.

Perhaps he was making a serious policy point, and they were actually LISTENING..not just getting caught up in emotion.

This election is not a game, you know.

There are serious issues to be addressed.

27. Obama supporters
aren't impressed unless there is a room full of screaming college students. What's wrong with a calm intelligent speech once in a while?

11. They were ecstatic
He owned them. I was there. It wasn't remotely close to a funeral.

Obama will be here Tuesday. I will take pictures there too and post them.

14. that is a good picture-

Did you have to zoom in, or were you that close?- I'm amazed at what digital cameras are capable of- (I'm an old Minolta 101 35mm
relic):silly:

18. I zoom on my computer
That works better for me. It's too easy to lose focus when I zoom with the camera.

It was a high school gym so there really wasn't a bad seat in the house. We were in the very top row of the bleachers so it was easy to stand up and take lots of pictures.

24. Yeay! MSNBC put the cameras on him hoping for a scream or tears
Failing that they went with "whaaa? No concession? which they had to retract eventually after she did
