I was about 100 feet from President, I mean, Senator Obama. I didn't even realize how close I was until I saw the picture on the front page of the Oregonian the next day! What a president Barack is going to be! I waited 2.5 hours in line (was only 1.5 blocks from the entrance), then 2.5 hours on the lawn. Worth every second. What a president Barack is going to be. He makes me proud to be an American.

I know how you felt, I saw him in Dayton, Ohio and could not believe how fantastic he was, how he spoke to everyone and how the crowd responded. He will be a great President and will make everyone even prouder to be an American!

Thank you for posting this. It's a good day for America. Congratulations to our next President Obama. WOW. There's a nice sound to it. I am proud to be an American.

Thank you for looking at my video. I am so very glad I went to the rally. At the time, I just knew in my gut it was a significant event. His win has reaffirmed my belief in our political system, the American people and our wonderful country. There is such a feeling of optimism in the air. I am with you, I don't think I've ever been prouder of being an American.

amen, sister or brother. I didn't have a clue how huge this crowd was until I saw the front page of the Oregonian the next day. I love the naysayers that are trying to claim people were there to see the band. Puleeze!!!

Yes, after I saw how many thousaands were in BACK of me, I realized I really WAS. Getting there at 9:45 a.m. for a 3 p.m. appearance was one of the best decisions I've ever made. That was a historical event to be sure.
