One site update on Obama speech...

[Javaman]

I work in an office building overlooking Town Lake aka Auditorium shores.

The people are already lining up. Not a lot yet. I think the majority will be out there, like myself around 2:30 for Obama's speech.

1. People were just let in and it's filling up fairly quickly already.

I would say right now there is about 800 to 1000 folks down there.

2. Getting very crowed now. Very packed. nt

3. Just got back, That was one powerful speech...

the place was packed and I was able to get a spot about 30 feet from him.

All off the top of his head, he spoke for roughly on hour.

He hit all the hot button issues: universal health care, getting out of Iraq, education reform, loan interest on student loans, etc.

but the concept I walked away from the speech that effected me the most was that he really means it.

I think after 6 years of the dullard* it was hard to imagine someone who really cares still exists that wants to be prez.

He spoke well and powerfully.

We still have a year and a half to go, but if he keeps it up at this level, I would be very hard pressed not to vote for him.
