Obama in Vegas!
We got there late and just barely made it inside for his speech. We actually got caught in traffic cause of his motorcade. We saw it pass us on the freeway. Wife was freaking out that we were going to miss him :(

Anyway he was great of course and without further ado heres some pics :)

5. I got to touch his hand!
I was taking pictures and put the camera down in time to grab his hand, then got back to picture-taking. He's one good lookin' dude in person. Both he and Michelle are even more attractive in person than they are on TV.

I did get video of the motorcade passing us by as I panicked that we weren't going to get there in time. I'm glad we made it!

12. The traffic was insane after his motorcade went through
I used to drive a cab here long ago so I know all the back routes. We wouldnt have made it otherwise.

15. Nevada is going BLUE this year
In California we are excited about this and many people are going to check out and encourage the blueness with voter registration drives and getting the vote out. Contact your local Obama office, DNC for details, it matters a LOT we need NV
