just biked out past the obama rally in down town des moines
the lines are long and full of many races creeds and colors.
a very positive and festive atmosphere.
some guy had an old cadillac brightly painted
with obamas name and the circle logo all over it.
looked like a professional paint job.

there were 6 or 7 pro hillary protesters holding signs :eyes:
everyone was laughing at them...

everyones having a good time, the weather is perfect.
glad he made it back. iowa loves obama. :hi:

3. "Full of many races and creeds and colors"?
I bet there aren't any hard working white people there. Especially in Iowa.

12. Don't the Birkenstocks make the bike difficult to pedal?
Not to mention hanging onto a latte with one hand? :shrug:

13. We had the same type of crowd here in Grand Rapids....
A friend and I went to see his rally in G.R. last week. It was so great to see people of all colors and creeds. I truly feel this is exactly what we needed in this country. His appeal crosses all ages and ethnic backgrounds.

For those that haven't attended a rally yet.... don't miss out on history in the making...

:toast:
