Waiting for Obama

Lines of traffic and no parking places. Of course, the news media is here - check out the satellite tower.


The police are here, but none of the president's men. Oh, they're here,but shh......undercover.

The crowd has thinned out. These are just people waiting for their rides. Floridians lined up around the building starting yesterday afternoon, waiting for free tickets to be handed out at 9AM today. Supposedly 1500 available, but there were actually only 250 distributed (2 per person - you do the math). Some were angry.


And this building down the block from the Harborside Event Center represents the downside of the economy and explains why the president is coming here. A presidential visit is an honor, isn't it?

I really don't understand why there were only 200 tickets?

From AA to NZ said...

It was an "intimate setting." I think the rest of the seats went to politicians.
