(8,492 posts)...I just love the diversity of his crowds. I was born and raised in Chicago. I didn't realize how rare that type of diversity was until I moved to central Arizona (they've even chased out the Hispanics). My husband is from SoCal, so he was used to the same melting pot. We're both (lilly) white, but our family gatherings look like the UN.
I miss it. I miss the different cultures. I miss beautiful shades of people. I couldn't be a Republican. I'd get sick of looking at all those white Christians. Actually, because of where I live now, I already am.
Anyway, this is the type of crowd a President SHOULD attract. All people, all faiths, all races, all lifestyles, all shades of life.

(3,059 posts)I so love him. But in the last picture, the one where the two women were hugging him...can't you just feel the stroke the poor secret service guys must be having? He just wades right into crowds, and there's no way crowds this size can be "controlled". He's got to be a bear to protect. Serious kudos to those guys.

(3,424 posts)I was thinking the same thing about the security guys. But I have to admit I had tears welling up looking at that picture. i just love him. He shows the people he loves them and they love him back.

Is Pres. Obama going to cart around Rick Warren this year like he did in '08?
