U.S. President Barack Obama is pictured during a heavy rain storm at a campaign rally in Glen Allen, Virginia, July 14, 2012. Obama travelled to Virginia on Saturday for campaign events. Rain drops on the front of the lens produced octagonal shapes in the image.

And I damned sure can't imagine his crowd sticking around to listen to him. Enthusiasm gap!

10. You cannot buy this publicity for all the money in the world
|
It has to just happen.
What it shows is the difference between the candidates. The crowd eggs on President Obama -- they are so proud of him and want him to stay, in spite of the weather. He stays, soaked to the bone, and still greets the people after his speech. Because President Obama is one of them. They shared a time of mutual love. That's something W. Mitt Rmoney will never share and never understand. I love our President. He truly is one of us.   |

Year: 2008 p.s. I think that Will.i.am should take that speech and make it into a music video like he did with the 'Yes We Can' song

Fantastic,gripping video!
Any of us who worked phone banks, checked lists, traveled to swing states and knocked on strangers' doors for his campaign can't help but get a lump in our throats!  |

and they rushed the stage at the end, and the Secret Service rushed out, and they had to figure out how to not mug a bunch of girls?
