Left out in the cold
Tried to go see Obama at the Target Center yesterday. The doors were supposed to open at 1:30 and I got there right about that time. Had to get off a stop early because the line was probably about a mile long. After not even moving for 45 minutes, I decided that it would be a LONG time before he would start speaking and hopped the bus home. Here's a pic that gets the general idea--Target Center is the white topped building on the right:
In the end, there was about 20,000 people there according to news reports.
On a side note, one of the African-American men on my bus home had this to say about the crowd: "Man, Obama's a Muslim. He doesn't even believe in Jesus."
