Obama Came to Town


I saw President Barak Obama when he came to USC to speak, and I figured that was an adventure worthy of sharing...
President Obama stopped on in USC's campus last month and I found it fairly dissappointing after all the hype, but all at once well worth braving the shoving and shouting. After all, when do you get to see the President of the United States speak in front of your own favorite library on your own favorite university campus? Because I was far back enough that I could not snap a clear shot of Obama in his lil' white  button down and Barbara Boxer pin, I enjoyed taking the sights of the crazy crowd around me. There were people climbing in trees, an elderly USC good ol' boy with a sticker in support of legalizing recreational marijuana, and people just waiting to get a glimpse of their modern American hero/modern American enemy. 'Twas an interesting experience indeed.
