Obama in Philly

Posted by jon on October 12, 2008

We figured this could be a very historical time we are living in at the moment so decided to go and see Barack Obama speak in Philly yesterday. He was doing a whistle-stop tour of the city – 4 events around the city phew.

Our nearest one was in a park in Germantown. We got there fairly early but there were still queues around the block just to get into the Park. It took a lot of patience and 2 hrs of our time to finally make it into the park. We could not get into the compound in time but got a good spot outside looking in. It was very hectic and Barbara took Harry away to keep him sane after such a long time waiting.

The event was alot of fun and it was lovely to see so many people engaged with the world. He truely has star appeal and it was a great privalige to get to see and hear him speak live !

He has to win !
