More Obama Portland Rally Pics

From the NY Times





Link to a panoramic pic (note the little arrow pointing to Obama on the stage, to the left of the bridge):

Try again when you can gather hard working people, not those obviously shifty layabouts.

Plus, all the AA in the crowd show off the obvious narrowness of Obama's Coalition. That crowd is exactly why we cannot possibly elect him.

HRC's hard-working grannies.

Last time I wrastled a Mine worker, I dinit get the best of'im.

Anyhow, That crowd is obviously all Elites. Champagne and Starbuck's all around. Their faces just scream it. Everyone knows Portland is some sort of wierd utopia anyhow, there are no real "workers" there anyway.

They do not count, I bet a quarter of them smoked pot before they rode their bikes or paddled their canoes up to the rally, scummy hippies do not count. In fact, the only hippy state that counts in California because there are HARD WORKING whites there, unlike cities like Seattle and Portland which are full of lazy folks. Thankfully California has Los Angeles, that makes it count.

... would have those kind of numbers, but it takes too long for them to sign their "loyalty oaths".

:)

But it works, so, what the hey. :hi:

That panoramic shot is great!

in the panorama, there are literally people as far as the eye can see. It's mind boggling -- difficult to grasp.

he is fundraising in Maitland Wednesday night. Is it worth it without the crush or is the excitement of a crowd better?

because seeing him a bit more up close and personal would be terrific.

PROUD TO BE REC SIX

changed so much just in that time. Big shiny new buildings all over the place.....

The crowd can be great too. Today was absolutely spectacular and felt like a picknick of sorts. It was at a great location on a stunningly beautiful day.

at least for this occasion

Especially when the lead singer tried to get the press corp to sing "La da da de da la de da da la de da da da da dada da" with them.

Oh Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
To the world

Dear Valerie Plame
So they made a wreck of you
But give me the rest of you
And I'll give the world

But you were just some silly girl
Taking in the sights of your empire's colony

So I took you into my confidence
Without a thought of consequence
To my heart or to my mind

But Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
To the world

La da da de da
la de da da
la de da da da da dada da

Oh Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
From up high

Dear Valerie Plame
I'll look for that long exchange
Outside of the Bureau Change
In Shanghai

But I was just some stupid boy on a bus
When your nom de guerre was Codename Caroline

And so my Vespa became your chariot
From the Green Zone Marriott
To be etched upon my mind

But Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
To the world

And when they flashed your picture 'cross the screen
How my heart seemed to leap out of me
And they attached a list of your identities
But the one you'll always be

Is Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
To the world

Valerie plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
To the world

La da da da da da da.. hey hey Valerie Plame (x3)

everyone knows Oregon is all black people and college students, I'm surprised it wasn't more.
:sarcasm:

Do you think there are any working class white people there?

Even better idea of how many people were "there."

Amazing.

I hope he gives a speech in Grant Park in Chicago this summer in July or August while I will be there on vacation. I would love to see a million folks in the park to see him (we can pull in a million for a fireworks show, how many could we get for an Obama Rally????)

Wah! I wanna see a panoramic picture!
