Democratic nominee Barack Obama stops by US Capitol

May 8, 2008,

Democratic nominee Barack Obama visited the House of Representatives in the middle of a vote. Obama stayed on the floor for almost half an hour visiting with both Democrats and Republicans who looked completely star struck.

Even Speaker Nancy Pelosi left her weekly press briefing and made a beeline for the House floor to say hello. And the Capitol Hill press corps surrounded the House Chamber to catch him on his way out and fire questions about such an unusual move for a presidential candidate, even if he is a senator.

I was just saying hello to everybody, Obama said.

I always find it interesting how many hillary supporters watch Obama content on youtube. If you don't like why are you always watching content about him? I rarely watch Hillary related content on youtube, because I am not interested in her campaign. I also don't post anti-hillary comments because, again, I am not interested in her campaign. It is time for Hillary supporters to resolve this unhealthy obsession they have with Obama.

What's McCain going to change? Besides his old man diapers.

I was on my 8th Grade Washington D.C. trip and we were touring the US Capitol when this was filmed. WE just took a big group picture in front of the Capitol building when people started to scream "Obama!". Then when we went inside the Capitol, we sat in the floor of the HOuse, and Obama walks in! My class was sitting on the second floor of the U.S. House and we were so excited to see OBama!

Amazing video. So crazy to watch him as he moves through the capital with his staff and secret service protection, answers reporter's questions, loses the reporters, gains more reporters, walks through crowds of people taking his picture, answers questions, and then still has to talk to that group walking. This is what his life and John McCain's life is like. They're constantly covered.

The Republicans said they were impressed with his jump shot . . . hah hah! Whether true or not it was a classy response. He's definitely a cool operator. :)
