I guess we can tell by the crowd. :)

[Sodan]

[grantcart]

5. what a great crowd

[blondeatlast]

6. What a cutie (the red haired toddler)! nt

[Wetzelbill]

17. I was hoping you meant me

foiled again :)

[GreenEyedLefty]

7. HUGE crowd. Awesome.

I hope everyone gets the chance to see Obama. The energy is infectious!

[gblady]

8. thanks for the heads up....

I was hoping there would be some live action
this morning before I have to head out...

[nc4bo]

9. OMG Look at all the people!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT! nt

[emmadoggy]

10. I was hoping to be there this morning.

I live about an hour away from LaCrosse, but the timing didn't work out for me. Oh well, thanks for the link!

[ginnyinWI]

11. it's kinda chilly outside today anyway.

:hi:

[emmadoggy]

18. LOL. Yeah, I'd be freezing my

behind off. Plus, because my drive time, I wouldn't have been able to be there early enough to find a place to park and get a decent spot anyway. Watching the video in my own home where it's warm and I can actually see Obama is probably better.

Would be exciting to be there though!!!

[ginnyinWI]

21. I'm something like 125 miles away.

I'd have had to get up before dawn!

edit--I'm exactly 188 miles away, three hours' drive.

[emmadoggy]

31. You would have had

to come in yesterday and stay over.

I'm only 45-48 miles away - we go to La Crosse for shopping. Even still, I would have had to be up at the crack of dawn to find a parking spot and get in there.

12. the man is in the house

[grantcart]

13. Obama with your breakfast - is this going to be a great day

[ginnyinWI]

20. Obama and a cup of hot coffee--

Yes, indeed.

He's emphasizing economics and what he's going to do in office.

[gblady]

14. the crowd is....

going nuts....
so great to see...

[grantcart]

15. Obama will return to Washington as per his Wisconsin speech nt

[gblady]

16. Barack said....

there will be plenty of time to punish those who are responsible for this mess.

[emmadoggy]

19. Wow.

The viewer count on the video player a few minutes ago, said there were a little over 1700 people watching....now it's up to almost 2000.

[Wetzelbill]

22. I saw that

Awesome.

[emmadoggy]

24. Up to 2,200 now.

:7

[ginnyinWI]

23. I like that gray tie. nt

[emmadoggy]

25. Me too. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

26. CNN, MSNBC and Faux haven't stopped showing the speech

I think that's amazing and so is his speech.

[Ichingcarpenter]

27. Faux, now has talking heads with Obama in the background .. CNN&MSNBC

are still covering the speech.

[nc4bo]

28. Obama really hit it out the park today!! Very inspiring speech! nt

[Schulzz]

29. Why doesn't he show any passion?

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[Wetzelbill]

30. he'd be able to draw a crowd if he did

[polmaven]

32. What have I missed?

I thought he planned to be in DC for the vote today. Has it been moved?

[Wetzelbill]

33. He said he was heading to DC after he spoke

He finished this up about an hour ago.

[polmaven]

34. Oh, good!

Thanks! :hi:
