Shouts of YES WE CAN resonated at the Obama Rally of 10,000+ Obama supporters in Indy two weeks ago at Pepsi State out back of the Indianapolis State Fairgrounds. The weather didn’t stop THIS lively crowd.
A big Obama shout to the folks who helped me in the crowd take pictures–I’m vertically challenged–uh, I am short! Thanks! Did make it up to the 5th row. And to Baby Bama (pix will be posted) for thinking I was the babysitter and letting me take his picture (and to his mother/aunt too).
I don’t know if me going last year’s jaunt to see Barbra Streisand in Ireland last summer for my 45th birthday visiting there for six days prepared me for the day’s event since both were outdoors in the rain. Sunny skies did prevail in the end result for both.
The only difference was at the concert I had a dry seat, here I was standing in the muddy (I was prepared–I had my yellow crocs on) grass somewhat reminiscent of the times of being in the muddy infield of the Kentucky Derby minus partying in the rowdy crowd. I wouldn’t exactly call it ObamaStock or Obamalooza, even though there was some music in parts.
Those of us who weren’t in the grandstands standing in the small sectioned off muddy field, were much more subdued as we were jammed packed being in the moment listening to every word Sen. Obama and the others said that day. It was great to somewhere where everybody was there for a common goal respecting each other.

Closing Note:
While driving down 36th Street heading back to Bloomington, we ran into a bunch of fellow Obama supporters in a white Blazer all excited that they shook his hand. The look on the driver’s face expressing her excitement was priceless.
YES WE CAN!
