Change.

100,000 people turned up to hear Barack Obama speak in Missouri today (Saturday). I wish our politicians had 1/100th the draw this man has.

America, you have found the presidential candidate you’ve been waiting for.

    Did you see this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0c6aIlXIfs&feature=related
    This guy is clear & works according to plan while McCain is just screaming pick me pick me!!

    I’ve been watching the debates as well. McCain’t (as they call him) and Palin are unbelievable: negative and desperate. Obama has been nothing but presidential for the last two years. I really hope he gets elected.

    Oh, its such a small world on these internets….

    In addition to St. Louis, 75,000+ showed up at Liberty Memorial to hear him speak in Kansas City, MO later that day, making a grand total of over 175,000 Missourians who came out to support Obama.

    And remember, this is the state that somehow birthed the likes of Rush Limbaugh and John Ashcroft amongst others of the same ilk.

    Indeed.

    Hey Timmy!

    Glad to see you stumbled on my newly minted tube on the net. Are you still planning to vote and go watch Neil Young? You guys are going through some exciting times!

    PS: Our Ben went to see the premiere of QoS and said the titles look great!

    Alas, Neil had to postpone his performance due to “routing issues.” So my perfect Election night will have to be slightly altered due to this new information that has come to light. But I still will be voting of course! And I’m sure I’ll be able to find some interesting post-vote activities to attend.

    And that’s good news to hear from Ben! Albeit a somewhat biased source, but I’ll take it!

    We’ll actually be back in town for the Premiere. If I get a moment, I might pop in to say Hello-

Hi. I'm Hani and this is my blog. I also have some photos on Flickr, bookmarks on Delicious, tweets on Twitter and generalities on Facebook as well. Most of the time I can be found at Prime Focus in London, crafting commericals using Flame.
