Barack Obama will be the next president.


I took off work and we rode our bikes downtown to attend the Barack Obama rally at Reunion Arena.


We got there at 9:30, two and half hours before start time, and there were already 10,000 people in line. Seriously, no shit, 10,000 people.


The rally was amazing. Reunion Arena holds 20,000 people, and there were hardly any empty seats. I was so moved by his speech. When he said, "People who work shouldn't be poor." I teared up. Seeing him in person only solidified my belief that he is the only person capable of changing our country for the better. I've never been anywhere with a more electric current in the air, it was a once in a lifetime experience.


He spoke for over and our, and as we were leaving there was one lonely Clinton supporter holding a sign across the street. Megan took this picture for my grandmother, who (for some strange reason) hates Barack and refers to him as "that bastard". Well, that bastard is going to be the president.
