Hows that "hope and change" working for you? Still have a job? If so, you're lucky. Millions upon millions don't now. Thanks to your "liar in chief". I cannot fathom how you elected this PUPPET. The man had absolutely ZERO experience at ANYTHING. Enjoy your misery moron. You earned it.
I am hopeful that voters will not put a muslim man in the White House.
can u bring collapsable chairs, etc
I wonder if there is handicapped parking anywhere near the arch grounds.
Any advice on parking for out-of-towners? Can I park somewhere (if so where would you suggest?) and ride the metrolink? See you there.
It's ok to bring cameras, but no signs/posters (they will supply you with these), or umbrellas. Try to limit personal belongings because they will be checking purses/bags. Gates open at 10:15, so get there early and bundle up for the chilly day. See you there!
Has anyone been to an Obama rally before? Is it OK to bring digital slr cameras? I don't see anything posted anywhere saying it's not allowed.
I just got a phone call from the Obama camp with info about the rally: gates open at 10:15, free admission and apparently open to all.
I think the French have it pretty good...
what is so bad about socialism!?!??!
hey, SaveTheSouls, after the last eight years, I think I can deal with a little Socialism. See you there! :)
Some of us are going to do some marketing of Obamas beliefs at this event. Come and help us show the truth. Vote no to Socialism. http://savethesouls.org
Don't miss out on seeing the president who will transition us from this free market lie to a thoughtful responsible governmental response to the everyday needs of each and every one of us. Bush screwed McCain 8 years ago and this time too, sad part is Bush got had by Cheney. Good bye trickle down economics, welcome helping each other make America a better place. If you were born after MLK was murdered you are not allowed to have prejudicial thoughts. If you do, you should volunteer for an hour to make America a better place. have a nice day, see you Saturday
