Was With A Crowd Cheering As Obama Arrived in Seattle Today!

11. This is what we live for. Hope that our nation can be saved.

I like being in a friendly crowd too.

State elections here are in August, and the nasty anti-everything-Obama attack ads are flooding the airwaves. Since the JRT Brigid chewed the tv remote, I have to adjust controls manually. She probably figures she's already done her part, so she refuses to help further.

Anyway, the point is that I can't so easily avoid the nasty ads, but I keep the volume low anyway - and I've found ad time's a good opportunity to drown that stuff out with a peppy civil rights song or something of that nature. So far it's working.

Grrr - I might never again enjoy the crowd scene you described, but I'm truly delighted to hear about them from elsewhere. Isn't it such a warm feeling?
