Oh Sh*t!!!

I'm watching Obama landing in Denver right now - and guess who is with him?

Yep! So do you think this means he is coming here tomorrow?

1. Really???

Wouldn't that be something?

[jillan]

2. I'm just going to have to go there in hopes someone has an extra ticket.

I don't know what else to do.

[PatSeg]

3. How frustrating

to come so close. Maybe you'll get a glimpse of him if he's there.

4. I don't know if he is coming.

He was talking about Ken Salazar at the press conference how Ken is riding back with him on the little plane. So maybe he's not coming.

Oh my gosh - I am such a dork. But, I would just *die* if Biden came here and I couldn't see him.

Listen to me - I sound like a teenager :P
I wonder if Joe knows how he affects me.

5. Its possible he won't be there

He was in Denver because of the Stimulus Bill signing, though it is understandable why he needed to be there.

Of course, tomorrow is very important too, as Obama will announce his plan to help homeowners.

The last time I felt like this, I was a very young teenager!

7. Biden wasn't there- I asked someone as they were coming out of the auditorium.

8. Did you get to see Obama?

[jillan]

9. No - they had it roped out really well.

It was still exciting to see the motorcade and shout out "We love you Obama" "Bless you, Obama" and stuff like that :) and to argue with some of the protesters ;)

10. Ooooh, protesters!

That sounds like fun. Were there very many of them?

11. Here's a funny story about protesters -

When I woke up, I was still undecided if I would go.
I turned on the local news and they were showing protesters. One was holding up a sign that said
"JOE MUST GO!". That did it. I got dressed, grabbed my Obama/Biden sign and off I went.

When I got there, I found out that they were talking about our infamous Sheriff Joe :P
Acorn was there (yes - that Acorn) and they had petitions to get rid of Sheriff Joe.

But yes, there were so many protesters - I couldn't believe it. They were carrying signs calling Obama a socialist. Signs saying - Obama pay for my vacation (house - car - you name it). Anti-abortion people out in full force. Impeach Obama stickers being passed out. Nobama signs. They were everywhere and my blood was boiling. But what really got to me was a group of kids - I'd guess they were between the ages of 6 thru 12 and they kept shouting "Nobama". I couldn't believe it. No matter what their parents believe, Obama is the President of the United States of America and kids need to be taught to respect that position. It's another thing when a child is old enough to make their own judgement, but these kids were just parroting their parents. I asked them why they weren't in school, and they shut up :P And I got into it with a couple of protestors telling them to refuse their tax cuts that are coming, to stay off of the roads that will be built, not to shop at any business that benefits from the stimulus plan, close out their bank accounts. It was hard to keep quiet after awhile.

But there was also alot of love and bonding between the Obama supporters - and that made it all worthwhile.

12. Thats funny about "Joe Must Go"

Oh well, it got you down there.

The protesters, however, are disturbing. The election is over. Are they going to keep this up for four years?

So, were there more supporters (I hope) than protesters?

13. good for you! nt
