10/29/08 Barack, Bill, and Bono Same Stage SwingCity Orlando

Its 11pm, do you know where your presidential candidate is? If youre a Democrat in Florida, the answer is likely to be yes. Approximately 35,000 voters gathered at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee on Wednesday night for a political rally featuring not only presidential hopeful, Barack Obama, but also former president Bill Clinton.

Despite previous transgressions, including Obamas victory over Clintons wife for the candidacy, the former leader made it clear who his choice was come November 4. "I think it's clear the next president of the United States should be, and with your help will be, Barack Obama," he said.

Clinton said Obama has the right philosophy, the right policies and the intellectual heft to handle the job of president. Taking a jab at President Bush, he said the past eight years should have taught Americans "that we want a president who wants to understand and who can understand."

Bill Clinton wasnt the only one waving the Obama flag last night. Tens of thousands of hopefuls from across Florida came out for the event, some arriving hours beforehand in hopes of getting a good seat.

Robert Mason traveled from Atlanta to see the Democrats' biggest stars. Mason became sold on Obama after watching him during the meltdown on Wall Street in late September. "To be that even-keel in a crisis spoke volumes," he said. "He truly appeared presidential."

It seems to be the general consensus of Obama supporters that "He's someone we can believe in."

Is he a communist/socialist or too liberal for America? Perhaps, Joe the plumber may rethink his thoughts on how Obama will spread wealth around. He wants to make him a billionaire like warren buffet, many billionaires in the US. That will soak the world.
