I need to invest in a new camera : ( This rally was a massive mess as far as logistics. For those who are familiar with the layout of Washington sq. Park you are familiar with the fountain in the center of the park near the Arch. They tried to "control" the crowd by herding the crowd through one entrance on the East side of the park through 4 metal detectors. While outside of the rally area, stuck in the crowd, Obama was introduced and he began his speech. Upset at the low sound system and slow moving "line", frustrated ralliers began chanting "let us in, let us in!". Well Barack heard us loud and clear. He stopped his speech and they again, slowly, started letting people in. After 30mins of little progress they halted all metal detection and bag searches and opened the flood gates. The crowd cheered, moved into the rally area in an orderly manner and the rally began. I wish i had video so everyone could see how Obama had the crowd riled up! or should i say Fired up! and Ready to Go!
