Michelle Obama in Pensacola Fl - 21 Oct. 08

I arrived at 7:30am, the line was well under way...

Here is the crowd around 11:00 while people were still filing in. Several people were standing between the upper and lower seat sections. I was on the floor with the rest of the super volunteers less than 20 feet from Michelle.

The guy in the red hat had it signed by Michelle...he, his friend standing to his right and his entire family work in our Pace Florida Obama office phone banking every weekend.

Around Noon, Michelle came out to greet us!

During her speech, one of our older volunteers became faint and Michelle pointed to her, stopped her speech and made sure she was okay before continuing.

After her speech, she came down and greeted all of us super volunteers. She hugged most of the people including my 17 yr old son who was standing in front of me. I was unable to get a photo of it because I greeted Michelle and shook her hand.

Here I am with my son Patrick as the center was clearing out.

When I arrived, there was a single old guy with these signs below. He was standing just below the ramp shown above.....the people on the ramp were chanting as I walked up and the hater moved to the corner up the road. When we left the center, we encountered this person with the white sign and an older lady who must have taken over after the older man left. They were swallowed up as the crowd started making their way to the parking lots.

The yellow sign is for Palin.
