Culturally cool people

Yes, today we spent three hours waiting in line to see Obama speak here at Penn State University and it was well worth the wait.

The crowd was the largest ever to gather at Penn State for anything other than football games or maybe the Arts Festival. A record setting 22,000 to hear a political speech. Ther was a mix of students and locals that gathered early and snaked through the campus from two directions – the longest lines we’ve ever seen.

He is a great speaker – honest, funny and inspiring. He does not care about being afraid to let the people hear what they not only want to hear, but need to hear. For years politicians have talked the talk that got them in the White House then nothing happened. Obama seems to really embrace change.

America needs to change. Why? Because nobody has ever really had our best interest at heart – the people, you and me. It has always been about power for them not the people.

Oops let me stop and get to the point. We didn’t get the best pictures today and yet we felt that we have had an experience. One of the coolest things about going up to see him is that our boys came too. They’d been at friend’s the night before and were tired and hungry but they warmed up to the idea and in the end seemed really glad that they’d been dragged up there. Both were happy to have seen him, been a part of that crowd and were really interested by things he’d said. All I can say is that it’s hard to impress the 14-16 year old crowd but Obama did it!

Get out and vote! People make a change be culturallycool
