Obama Comes to Fort Collins
It was really cool to have Senator Obama in Fort Collins at CSU. You could just feel the excitement radiating off of people. For handicap reasons, me, my Mom & my Grandma got to sit about 15 yards away from the podium. Before Obama's speech Betsy Markey & Governor Ritter talked. About 15 minutes after Ritter talked a voice came on & said "Please welcome Senator Barack Obama!" & everybody started to scream.

Obama talked about all different kinds of things but these are just a few of the topics that were covered:

Early voting
Health plans
Taxes
Economics
Schooling

& how John McCain compared him to George Bush. McCain said that if Obama was elected President it was just going to be like the last 8 years because Obama is going to use Bush's economics plan. That's weird. Why would Obama talk about a new economics plan if he was just going to use Bush's old one? That's a really dumb thing for McCain to say.

It was really cold & we had to wait in line for about 2 hours, but it was all worth it. I think that this was a very big deal for Colorado but in particular CSU & Fort Collins.
