 Here is a short video of the crowd going nuts once Obama was introduced. You can hear the crowd go crazy in the second half of the video when they could finally see him. It was a very touching moment to see him in person. They were playing music written by John Williams from the movie, "The Patriot". (Warning may take a while to load, not really too much to see.)    My batteries ran out a little more then half way into it, but you can see I didn't have the greatest angle anyways. I have 6-7 shots which probably wouldn't have been too bad, but there is a large tree branch running right across his face. With in view of the president there was a huge American flag probalby 2-3 stories tall which many people stopped to get there photos taken at. Since all we had left was our cell phones the images are not the greatest, but we had to get a photo.  Here is another shot from my cell phone of the train which Obama, Biden, their families, and tons of guests and reports took from Philadelphia to Washington DC.  In other news...... Steph and I may soon be getting a roommate. Simba a pure breed Himalayan, will be going to the vet and groomers tomorrow and then hopefully be on his way to Newark. The pictures are really rough as they were taken from my cell phone which has a worn out lens from being in my pocket. We went to visit him at his current residence in PA near where Steph grew up after catching a glipse of Mr. Obama last Saturday.    ---------------------------------------------------------------- Coming soon: some shots of some of my newer fish and corals, photos of my new 75g display tank, and a little info about my new job! Extremly old news can still be found here. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Here are some updated pics of the little guy. He is still being a little shy so we really haven't been able to comb him as much as we would like, but he is still getting comfortable. He is coming around more and more every day.   |
