The family went to the Obama rally tonight and here is what I observed.
First, we go to the area round 2:45 and when we tried to park in some handicapped parking places promised by the Obama campaign, we were turned down by Metro. We saw numerous older and disabled walk from Freedom Park to the school. I saw numerous people in wheelchairs, using walkers and walk with canes. Clearly, the Obama campaign did not anticipate the number of disabled and they really screwed up in this manner.
From Freedom Park, we had to walk to the end of the line and the end of the line was on Parkhurst and Washington, at least 1/2 mile or longer line. Most people who waited in line were in line at least 2 hours to get in. We had some Obama volunteers come by and state to us that we would not be able to get into the rally unless we gave them our name, phone number and e-mail address. A lot of people were ticked off at that and I am sure they got a lot of false information.
Except there was 1 problem with what the Obama volunteer said. No one ever collected our ticket. All the volunteer and the Obama campaign wanted was our personal information- very dishonest. Further, the campaign said you needed a ticket to get in, but no one was checking tickets, so anybody could have gotten in. The most frustrating part of standing in line was seeing all the people who cut in line just because they could. Is this your typical Democrat?
While were sweating line, I did meet Steven Horsford, candidate for Congress. He seemed like a nice guy and it was nice to see a politician shaking hands with people and he was the only person I saw, so, goo d for him.
When we finally got into the park, after waiting for about 2 hours in line, they took our cool water and exchanged it for some very hot water. Apparently, the people running the show doesn't know how to cool down water- you don't put the pallet of water in the sun, you put it in the shade.
As for the speakers, Dina Titus, candidate for congress spoke, but she did not receive much of a reception, even when she spoke in Spanish first.
Surprisingly, Shelly Berkley as mentioned just once and Horsford and another guy running for Congress, john Oceguera were not mentioned at all.
Th rally started with a prayer, which kind of surprised me followed by a beautiful rendition of the national anthem.
There were many families in the crowd, which was kind of nice and there was an even mix of whites, blacks and Hispanics.
There was a Mexican rock band there and most people, especially the Hispanics enjoyed them, but the Blacks in the audience pretty much ignored them.
The creepiest moment was the music that came on just before Obama spoke. They were love songs and sang about how much we loved him, Obama. That part was very creepy. I have supported a lot o candidates in my time, but I would never say I love them or adored them. Instead of uplifting, rally music, the Obama campaign played love music.
Obama was introduced by a daughter of an illegal immigrant and she spoke the liberal talking points and to be honest, she was not that good of speaker.
Then the President spoke, but surprisingly, hundreds of people, if not a thousand people, walked out while he was talking. What was the point of seeing the president and then walk out when he is talking?
The worst line of the night by Obama was telling us how nice the weather was. Obviously, he didn't understand that most people stood in line for hours in 100F degree temperatures to see him,and that most people were were not thrilled about the weather.
There were about 6000 people at the rally, even though the Obama campaign was saying they had 10,000 there. Still, that was far more than I expected.
Finally, at the end, Metro police made us park at Freedom Park the cops were standing at the intersection for several hours. Then, as soon as the president's motorcade left the building, so did the cops, causing huge traffic problems by Freedom Park. Moron cops.
All in all, the rally was all about Obama and none of the other candidates, which surprised me.The standing in line for 2 hours or more was unacceptable and it ticked off a lot of people.
As a Republican, this is the kind of rally I would like to see Democrats have. Other than Obama, there was not much of a rally.
Finally, not one 1 speaker thanked those of us who stood in line for hours for being there and then waited in the heat to them speak. That is extremely rude and arrogant.
So, I don't care what the media says about the Obama rally, this is what really happened.

American's Choke In Ryder Cup
To contact us Click HERE
From ESPN: Erasing some of their worst Ryder Cup memories, the Europeans wore the image of Seve Ballesteros on their sleeves and played their hearts out Sunday at Medinah to match the greatest comeback in history and head home with that precious gold trophy.
Europe got its payback for Brookline, when the Americans roared back from the same 10-6 deficit. This rally was even more remarkable, carried out before a raucous American crowd that began their chants of "USA!" some three hours before the first match got under way.
Jose Maria Olazabal squeezed his eyes and fought back tears when Martin Kaymer holed a 6-foot par putt to beat Steve Stricker and give Europe the point it needed to keep the cup. This was the first Ryder Cup since Ballesteros, the soul of European golf in this event, died in May 2011 of a brain tumor. Olazabal wanted his team to wear navy blue, Seve's favorite color, and added a clever touch -- his iconic silhouette on the sleeves of their shirts.
"This one is for all of Europe," Olazabal said. "Seve will always be present with this team. He was a big factor for this event for the European side, and last night when we were having that meeting, I think the boys understood that believing was the most important thing. And I think they did."
Tiger Woods missed a 3½-foot par putt on the 18th hole, and then conceded a par to Francesco Molinari of about that length to halve their match. That extra half-point made it a clear-cut win for Europe, 14½-13½..
http://espn.go.com/golf/rydercup12/story/_/id/8445412/2012-ryder-cup-europeans-snag-improbable-victory
Simply put, Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker choked during the tournament. Hopefully, in 4 years, they will not be on the team.
But, the Americans choked today, especially when they had a big, 4 stroke lead when they started this morning, and it is an embarrassment to USA golf.

Umm, You Are The Worst Piece Of Scum
To contact us Click HERE
From Fox News: Convicted D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo said in a newspaper interview published Sunday that the devastated reaction of a victim's husband made him feel like "the worst piece of scum."
Malvo expresses remorse in the interview with The Washington Post and urged the families of victims to try and forget about him and his partner John Allen Muhammad so they can move on. Tuesday marks the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the deadly spree in the Washington area carried out by Malvo and John Allen Muhammad. The pair has been linked to 27 shootings across the country, including 10 fatal attacks in the Washington area.
Malvo, 27, told the Post in a rare interview that the look on the face of victim Linda Franklin's husband right after she was shot stands out in his memory of the rampage. Franklin, a 47-year-old FBI analyst, was killed as she and her husband loaded supplies outside a Home Depot in Falls Church, Va.
"They are penetrating," Malvo said of Ted Franklin's eyes. "It is the worst sort of pain I have ever seen in my life. His eyes ... Words do not possess the depth in which to fully convey that emotion and what I felt when I saw it. ... You feel like the worst piece of scum on the planet."

Obama Campaign Lies About Number Of People At Rally
To contact us Click HERE
Of the LVRJ: Obama was cheered on by about 11,200 supporters spread across the lawn at Desert Pines High School, according to his campaign's official crowd count.
http://www.lvrj.com/news/obama-visits-las-vegas-171964601.html
So, the LVRJ writer relies the Obama campaign for official numbers? How lazy is that of the writer.
There were maybe half that number at the rally, around 6000. Hell, I heard an Obama official say they had 10,000 and now they say they had 11,200. Where did the extra 1,200 come from? Probably from where the other 5000 people came from. From someone's imagination?
Apparently, other media are also reporting the lie. The Las Vegas Sun and Channel 13 are also reporting the lie.
And the national is also believing the Obama campaign numbers. Why? Do they believe Romney campaign estimates in crowd numbers? I doubt that.

Conspiracy Of The Year
To contact us Click HERE
You just cannot make this up;
From the Baltimore Sun: A group of 14 McDonald's employees from the Baltimore area are still convinced they were winners in the massive $656 million Mega Millions jackpot drawing earlier this year — despite being told otherwise by lottery officials — and are claiming that a co-worker defrauded the Maryland Lottery to avoid sharing a payout with them....
As the hype grew and the news media began staking out Wilson's home, Wilson held a bizarre news conference and eventually said she lost her ticket. Days later, lottery officials announced that the real holders of the winning Baltimore County ticket were three public school educators they dubbed the "Three Amigos."
The group's lawsuit says Wilson did buy a winning ticket as part of a lottery pool the co-workers were in and that she and her lawyer, Edward Smith Jr., orchestrated an elaborate ruse to recruit the educators and trick the Maryland Lottery into believing they had won rather than Wilson. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-mega-millions-lawsuit-20120929,0,205950.story
I think it will take a competent judge 30 seconds to throw this case out of court,

This hole in the wall type of pizza place is located east of Downtown L.A. I never had a chance to come here because this place close early. But I finally tried last week. We already had dim sum lunch, so we were not so hungry. We each got a slice of pepperoni pizza. The pizza was not good as we expected. I like Papi's pizza better than here.
