wow...
obama acceptance speech at the DNC - viewing at the Parkway Theater
Originally uploaded by indigospiketonight i attended a very special viewing of obama's acceptance speech at the parkway theater in oakland. it was awesome, the parkway is an old theater (with couches) about three blocks from my house. tonight they canceled all of their regular movies and opened their doors (for free) to obama supporters to watch him accept the nomination for president on the big screen.
i swear, it was the next best thing to actually being in denver. every seat was filled - they had to turn people away. we all watched as obama accepted. some of the audience had been clinton supporters. some had been noncommittal. but it was clear to me that obama was UNIFYING the liberals, independents, and people who are just SICK OF the bush administration. i loved it. i loved being in the presence of people who cheered for obama along with me. this is something i will truly miss about the bay area if i ever leave.
right now i have so much hope. i truly believe that WE CAN win this election. i have faith that my fellow americans are ready for REAL CHANGE after eight long years of life under the bush administration. i believe that come november we WILL make history and elect our first black president. i'd love to say that mcsame doesn't have a chance, but he does, and we ALL have to work to make sure obama is our next president.
i took a few photos tonight. they're all up on my flickr account if y'all want to see the rest of them.
obama/biden '08 FOR THE WIN!!!!
