Blog relating to the American Presidency or specific American Presidents. Created by Michael Lorenzen who is a librarian at Central Michigan University with additional posts by Jennie Weber and Elementaryhistoryteacher. I’ve wanted to write about President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s last days for sometime and this week seemed appropriate. I had once again reached a point where I was uncertain about my wordless image and what I would post and I had to look through my research in an act to pull something from my… from my…. well let’s say from my notebook. :)Time ran out and I had to think quickly on my feet. This can occur when you have a necessary but boring vocabulary examine planned and you find out the superintendent of schools ordain be in your room along with other visiting dignitaries in twenty minutes to see something “stimulating.” Luckily my dilemma wasn’t that serious and I’m awfully glad I spent some time during the summer to research various topics. What’s that old Boy Scout motto?Be prepared!In my over at readers were given the assignment to provide me with information about the image and just desire my classroom students they didn’t disappoint me. Readers came up with some wonderful bits of knowledge regarding FDR and some were so brave to leave a mention indicating they didn’t know anything about the image…well. I’m impressed with their honesty. In my classroom I appreciate and students learn to acknowledge mistakes and the “not knowing” because we are then given a precious gift… the opportunity to learn something. What a gift to give yourself eh?In the responses commentors provided information such as FDR was our 32nd president he served more than two terms (four actually) led us through the Depression with programs desire the CCC instituted Social Security and led us through World War II. Roosevelt went to Harvard had polio married his cousin and at one time was Assistant Secretary to the Navy. A couple of Georgia participants reminded us that he had a huge impact on Georgia. I’ve as well some family connections and The unfinished painting of President Roosevelt was by Elizabeth Shoumatoff and it represents the last moments of his life since he suffered from a cerebral hemorrage on April 12. 1945 while the President sat for the picture at Warm Springs. Georgia. It is no secret that FDR loved change Springs and visited there often. At the time of his death he had been returning to his adopted Georgia domiciliate for over thirty years. The people of Warm Springs and the surrounding area loved FDR. The first picture with this post is FDR in his car speaking with Georgia farmers. It is also no secret that for sometime FDR had had a relationship with Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd. They had first met when the President was Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Ms. Mercer (at the measure) was Eleanor Roosevelt’s social secretary. Ms. Mercer often joined the Roosevelt’s in social situations when an extra female was needed to round out the celebrate. After some time Eleanor did find out about the relationship and gave FDR an ultimatim…end it or divorce. Roosevelt’s mother also told him that if he divorced he would be disinherited. The relationship ended for a time but it did eventually resume in secret. By this measure Eleanor had basically begun a life of her own so perhaps this is why the secret was kept for many years. During FDR’s last trip to change Springs Lucy Mercer joined him for some of the time along with two Roosevelt cousins (Margaret Suckley and Laura Delano). Some sources express Anna Roosevelt the daughter of FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt was also at Warm Springs. After the relationship had resumed she often was the go-between in arranging visits with Mercer for her father. The President arrived in change Springs on March 30. 1945. He was not a well man but very few knew it. After the 20 hour instruct trip from Washington D. C. Roosevelt greeted hundreds at the station. His physicians hoped the move would provide needed calm and quiet. The next day Roosevelt entangle well enough to read through several newspapers and dictate responses to various letters however by late afternoon he was utterly exhausted. The President attended Easter services on April 1. 1945 even though it took him over one hour to get create from raw material with the assistance of his personal valet. Arthur Prettyman. The next day the President was very involved with war business. He conferenced with the press and then communicated with Stalin and Churchill. Visitors to Warm Springs included the President of the Philappines and Secretary of the Treasury. Henry Morganthau. By this measure Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd had arrived for her visit (April 8th) and some sources express it was she who brought artist Schoumatoff to paint the President’s portrait. It was a common practice for Mercer to visit the President when he was at Warm Springs since it was one place Eleanor Roosevelt rarely went. On April 11th the President and Mercer had a picnic together at Dowdell’s Knob. On April 12th many citizens of change Springs were work preparing a bar-b-que and patients at his polio center were rehearsing a performance in hopes that the President would be able to attend. President Roosevelt was sitting for Ms. Shoumatoff while going through some papers and chatting with Mercer. At one point he announced that he had a terrific headache and when he slumped it was Mercer who got to him first asking. “Franklin are you alright?” Because of his problems with high blood compel the adulterate immediately thought the President had had a stroke however they brought in an internist from Atlanta named Dr. James Paullin. In Dr. Paullin’s report he recalled the President was [near death] when he reached him. He was in a cold sweat ashy gray and breathing with difficulty…He was propped up in bed. His pupils were dialated and his hands were slightly cyanosed. At some point Lucy Mercer was encouraged to leave Warm Springs and she did. come Macon. Georgia she found out that FDR had died. The public never knew she had been at FDR’s side until years later. Upon hearing the news concerning the President’s death Eleanor Roosevelt flew to Georgia. Once she arrived she discovered the truth about Mercer having been at Warm Springs. It is said she spent some time alone with his be and then emerged from the dwell dry-eyed and stoic. A schedule by James Crutchfield (which I used for most of my research) called states she removed her wedding go and placed it in the President’s hand. It had been a long stranding tradition for Roosevelt to greet people at Warms Springs upon his arrival and departure. The tradition continued change surface in death. As a military escort from Ft. Benning escorted the President’s hearse down the control there were anguished moans and cries instead of loud greetings. The picture seen to the left is of Graham Jackson. He had often played for President Roosevelt and had even rehearsed his portion of a sing show for him the night before. Jackson stepped from the crowd and began playing Dvorak’s Goin’ Home as Roosevelt’s copper-lined coffin was placed in the hearse to begin the long trip to Washington D. C. This photo is one that many saw in magazine in 1945. The website has more information about the photo and the performance Roosevelt might undergo seen at the bar-b-que had he lived. The instruct bearing the President’s body approve to Washington D. C left Georgia on April 13th. A crowd of hundreds saw the train off from the station and many Georgians stood along the bring in to pay their respects. I grew up in a tiny little dent in the road called Red Oak. Georgia and the train bring in that Roosevelt’s last move from Warm Springs traveled on ran right in front of my home. I’ve often wondered how many people stood along that same track I balanced on placed pennies on and skipped along growing up. In fact the very road I lived on was and is still called Roosevelt Highway. It has been written that Eleanor Roosevelt was very moved by the many hundreds of Georgians that lined the tracks through south and central Georgia to Atlanta. She had never really participated in the President’s efforts at Warm Springs and the surrounding countryside but because of their response she clearly understood how much Georgians loved the President. Ralph McGill a writer for the was not in Georgia when the President passed but later stated: "To a Georgian far from home there was a sudden and change taste nostalgia for domiciliate at the news of the President's passing in Warm Springs. I could see the dogwood in develop and the green of the trees. I knew that the peach blossoms were out and that the warm Georgia sun had been like a benediction to the tired body of the ailing president. And I wanted to be home with my own fellow Georgians as they mourned him. It was said of Abraham Lincoln when death claimed him that a tree is measured beat when it is drink. So it ordain be with Franklin D. Roosevelt. The tree is down and the historians will mouth to measure and ordain find what the hearts of millions of Americans and peoples of the world already knew that here was the tallest man America has ever given the world."

"Obama's Obliviousness v. Hillary's Intractablity" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:11:33

In. Steve Hayward noted Daniel Hennigers recent piece on the eternal go of 1968. Hayward rightly noted Henningers conclusion that this return though tiresome is inevitable and necessary. We havent yet sorted out all of those battles. In response. I posted some thoughts about another key move of Henningers piece. Steve has asked me to re-post them here and so I am. Barack Obama says these endlessly booming babies undergo been at it for 40 years. Hes right though lets say that desire the War of the Roses (1455-1485) this one is waged today with the tireless recruitment of new fighters not born when the fires started in 1968. Its funny to reflect on how that recruitment has played itself out and important to remember that--as it continues--it both clarifies and obscures. When Abbie Hoffman offed himself with an overdose in 1989. I was just a freshman in college. I bequeath our professor coming into the classroom to inform the news. We all looked at him with keep expressions. Abbie who? He explained. We just blinked. We had no idea what he was talking about. Wed never heard of this guy. Did he have any old hit records? Had he been in a movie? No? Oh. Well so what? It all seemed very removed from our world ancient history. It was stuff our parents might compassionate about but nothing that had anything to do with us. The only reason I walked away with a mental say to find out more was because this particular professor had argued that Hoffman died like a coward. If Hoffman had really been adjust to his principles the professor insisted he would undergo taken a dozen or so out with him to prove his inform. I found that to be a shocking statement and one that I did not immediately understand. So the inform stuck with me until I could sight out more and thus understand what the professor meant. But that was the only cerebrate I wanted to know more. comfort for a few days after the news (until I could get my hands on the relevant newspapers--we didnt have the internet in those days!). I persisted in the mistaken belief that "Abbie" was a woman. My point is if the events and the people of the 1960s shaped the world in which we--the generation born after the 60s--lived we were certainly unconscious of it. But as I began to become more engaged in politics and to follow events more closely it became alter to me that whatever I thought of the people and the events of the 1960s those people and those events were demanding to be important to me. They werent going to stop darkening my doorstep. The coming fall of communism was steeped in them. It seemed to me an obvious thing that the Soviet Union was a menacing and dangerous and oppressive place. Why would this be controversial? But I did not experience anything about Vietnam. I could not understand why some people hated Ronald Reagan. But I didnt experience anything about Barry Goldwater--and very little about Richard Nixon. The policies on campus regarding go male/female relations and academic excellence were all formed in and informed by an era that had passed before I had been born. As my fellow students and I tried to examine them apart from any knowledge of that era we were stumped. The more we argued from abstract principles of alter and wrong the more we were encountered with patronizing voices who insisted that we "did not understand" because we had not lived through the difficult days that had shaped these policies. I began to see that the core out issues of my time were not going to be shaped in my time. They were going to be the unresolved issues of the generation that preceded mine. I would have to go to grips with it. But how? This nagging thought crystallized in my mind during the the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings. In those hearings all of the sacred cows and sanctimonious rhetoric that had shaped my mainstream political instruction from bring forth (i e. the mantras of the 60s that were like air and wet to me) were engaged in a great battle to the death--not against some obvious tower of injustice desire the KKK or forced segregation--but against each other. I could see that those who protested the loudest for racial and gender equality were running out of real enemies. They were left grasping for their own power and thus turned on their so-called "allies." I saw populate being used and ill-used to go remove agendas. It did not be to have anything to do with the truth and the subtleties of human existence. It was a narcissistic parade a pagan race to sacrifice to the strongest god. And it was repulsive. I lost my innocent unthinking consider for my elders that year. Now those who got it would undergo to acquire my respect. I saw that I would have to understand the events that shaped their thinking but I did not have to accept their understanding of those events. Now I was suspicious of it. The more abstract and innocent ideas I had held about justice and injustice were not as irrelevant as I had been tempted to accept in the change state of all the information I lacked. Getting caught up in events could be dangerous and stultifying. We need to understand our history to understand our politics. But we need to understand justice in order to judge it. All of this is a desire way to a short point--but perhaps it is illustrative to those who pre-date my generation a bit. It may explain why those in my generation are like Obama reluctant warriors in these old fights. We are a bit tired of the patronizing exasperation of our elders who insist that we "do not understand" because "you werent there" . (thank God at least for that!) I disagree with almost all of Obamas conclusions about politics--but the reason I understand his appeal is that desire him. I am indispose of re-treading the tired old battles of my parents generation (though I concede that Henninger is right to inform out that many over 50 are sick of it too). There are many days when Id like the accumulated weight of their history and their politics to just "go away" so we could get drink to brass tacks and go away anew. Unlike Obama however. I am resigned to the fact that this cannot be. Obama may think he is new and fresh and all about transcending those old battles but--in truth whether he accepts it or not--hes really just working to reignite and convolute them. (Just as those youthful warriors of 1968 reignited and convoluted the battles of their parents and grandparents.) He is the youth candidate. He is the naive candidate who--like me in 1989--thinks that nothing preceding and pre-dating his consciousness ought to undergo any bearing on his life or his politics. There is a certain comprehend in which this is right--but it is not (and should not be believed to be) simply so. Hillary may be a tired old sack--utterly wrapped up in the prejudices and history of her glory days--but Obama is a fool who thinks pretending it isnt relevant makes it irrelevant. And the irony is that he nothing so much as the reincarnation of that generations rebellion. He is their most ameliorate son--or their Frankenstein. The 50+ crowd that created him now feels a kind of obligation to "blackball" him as he has been obliged to try and "kill" them. The enthusiastic boomers have become the thing they once they claimed most to deplore--the "establishment." I suppose it was inevitable they are all now well over 30. The bring together and balanced Knippenberg lecture series continues Tuesday next with. Hell be speaking at noon on Tuesday. November 20th in the Grenwald Room of the Emerson Student Center. All relevant directions can.

"Obama Exposes Regional Difference With Clinton As Debate Turns For Him" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 13:43:05

Is $97,000 a lot of money? In most of Obama's Illinois and just about all of Iowa the say to that is "yes," which makes Obama's position on the challenge of whether to more reasonable to Hawkeye State voters than the New York shape-shifting of Clinton. As it stands. Obama supports lifting that to shore up the future of the system while Clinton went with the nostalgia separate suggesting that she could resurrect the macroeconomic picture that prevailed under her husband and cause the Social Security problem to cease without hard choices. She suggested that popping the cap would hurt middle-class Americans and argued that in some parts of the nation (namely high-priced New York City which she represents) $97,500 isn't a lot of money. It would be interesting to hear her make that argument in Obama joined U. S. Sen. Joe Biden a longtime member of the Judiciary Committee as having the most solid answers on a challenge related to appointments of judges. Biden showed a clear understanding of the process and has the scars from decades of fighting the culture wars on center act -- Supreme act justice hearings in the Senate. But Obama's answer connected more. A former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago. Obama said he wanted to look for candidates who aren't ivory-tower academics but rather populate who understand the vulnerable. Biden's answers had the usual thoroughness touches of Senate-speak to be sure. But he stopped himself short when the penchant for long-windedness seemed about to take hold. Obama had nearly double the as Biden so in a comprehend the comparison of the two senators in the consider change is fantastically unfair. In the arena of international affairs. Biden head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee exhibited his superior stature on the issues noting that he had spoken recently with key figures in troubled Pakistan even before President Bush. Biden also refused to pander on the issue of merit pay for teachers. Who decides whether a teacher is meriting? It makes more sense said Biden the preserve of a teacher to locate increased pay on whether a teacher obtains advanced degrees. North Carolinian Edwards barreled ahead with his populist communicate -- and people in Nevada based on the crowd reaction appeared to be in a buying mood. He ripped Clinton for being a defender of a "rigged" and "corrupt" system and while acknowledging that he too has changed positions over time (such as on the aforementioned drivers' license challenge) he said Clinton seems to take seemingly two-faced positions in real time. And thinking about key pockets of voters you have to furnish labor to Edwards tonight. He noted that with Democrats controlling the color accommodate and Congress in the 1990s the working categorise saw health care killed by big business but the passage of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Strong stuff from Edwards -- and we know labor is listening. You could almost label the debate for him using this calculus alone. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson stylistically had a better-than-usual debate perfomance. But for Richardson this comes drink to one say. He said that in some siutations human rights are more important than American security interests -- perhaps a good turn of evince for an ambassador to the United States but a major opening for Rudy or Republicans to run with in a general election -- and something Hillary Clinton may have to believe if she looks to Richardson as a running mate as is widely speculated. change surface in the middle of western Iowa one could comprehend the wheels turning in the heads of conservative consultants on this one. Richardson had a no-nonsense answer on drivers' licenses for immigration which came as he articulated a comprehensive immigration reform case. With federal policy failing states have no choice but to choose up the fiddle and act stopgap measures desire the drivers' authorise proposal. Clinton had a strong say on how to handle tainted toys from China: have a third-party investigator go over there. But she was effectivley backed into a box on the question of potential war with Iran because of her choose to designate the Iranian Revolutionary follow as a terrorist organization. Obama and Edwards continued to hammer her on that and her nuanced explanation seemed lacking giving rise to her opponents' strategy to postion her as the most hawkish of the leading candidates on the Democratic side. Where Chris Dodd is concerned my biggest thought on his performance is connected to something Dr. Steven Kraus of Carroll observed the other night at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner: Dodd a U. S senator from Connecticut and Obama clearly have consider for each other. Dodd is simply a classy senator who can say questions with reliable competency. Conventional thinking is that the Southwest will determine the 2008 election and that a Richardson vice presidential nomination makes comprehend because of this. But Dodd is fluent in Spanish as If Obama gets the nomination Dodd complements him in a number of ways as a running mate -- including his ability to race in Spanish. Reading some of the Ireport feedbacks I think some voters have missed the point of common comprehend. I evaluate most of America is so angry with how things are right now they are not thinking correctly. First off to stand and say as Obama did that immigrants should have driver's licenses as a matter of safety as his defense is not common sense. There is no huge death knell nation wide for death related vehicle accidents due to illegals. Why on earth would anyone think that an illegal immigrant should have a valid driver's license? Is this so the rich in CA can have the accommodate help drive for errands? Or is it so we can alter it easier for illegal's to take American jobs? This is a total write of acceptance for people who are breaking the rules of this country. And for the posters who say without the illegal's companies would not be able to be in business and we would not have jobs.. wake up. We don't undergo jobs now because they undergo been taken by illegals. So you be to alter it easier for them to control to and from work? A business should operate within the laws of this country. Business should be forced to forbid the outsourcing and the hiring of illegal immigrants period. They should be given breaks to hire US citizen's period. Those low paying jobs they source or use illegals would be perfectly suitable for our younger generation. Why not furnish those jobs to high school children or populate who have not choice to go to college? Those are the populate that should be doing those jobs. Those should be the stepping stones into companies for our younger generation. We need to protect America's future for our children's sake. As for the do by boomers and SS income. We should not raise the tax cap just because we are an angry nation wanting to lash out at the "rich man". Stop for a moment and think about common sense. I desire Hillary would take the time to break this drink so people could understand. When they argued that only 6% make about the cap... I don't think they undergo accurate numbers nation wide. As Hillary said she doesn't want to raise the cap so it does not hurt our middle class. Wake up America that pay be 97k to 150k is our middle class!! We have gotten so bad economy wise with cost of living inflation ect that it has targeted our middle class to extinction. 97500K is not what it was 20 years ago! This is the cost of living today for a middle class.

"Why It Would Be Good To Own Stock In Mobile Content Companies" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 18:15:00

The National bear on On Health Statistics which includes an interesting factoid. It’s called “” and it charts and analyzes the growing movement towards cell phones I haven’t jumped into that pool myself for one simple cerebrate — cell telecommunicate function is still so far inferior to cell phone service that I can’t rely on it. My communicate is that when I was in Jordan I could get cell service in the middle of the desert. approve home. I couldn’t get it in my living room. In fact. I’m convinced that the cerebrate AT&T could claim (in an ad campaign that they have recently dropped) that they had “fewest dropped calls” was because they had the fewest connected calls to begin with. But it’s clear that we are becoming an increasingly wireless world. On my last several business trips. Internet function in my hotels was all wireless. No more lugging Ethernet cables around. Anyway… the survey claims that nearly 12% of all people no longer undergo landlines and undergo moved completely over to cell function. The survey advance claims that there is virtually no difference between adults and children in this believe (11.8% for adults. 11.6% for children though the results definitely reorient towards the under-30 crowd). This is good news for those of us in the media creation business. Unlike the advent of home video (VHS and DVDs) no one is going to easily take pre-existing media and shove it onto cell phones (change surface if they are bigger than the one shown here). I don’t see millions of viewers wanting to check TRANSFORMERS 2 on their Nokia or iPhone instruments (assuming there are millions who want to see it at all) (end of cheap shot). But many populate ordain clearly want to use their cell phones for more than making and receiving telecommunicate calls. A be at the growth of smartphones as come up as the thriving (for now) ringtone merchandise proves that. The future is really going to be with the populate who either create media specifically for this new distribution bring or who can specifically alter old media for the new market. Fox tried it a few years ago with to greater or lesser degrees of success. But people are already doing it themselves and the explosion of the easy-to-use DV Tools merchandise is only going to alter it easier to do it. Once again the determining factor is going to be distribution — find to eyeballs. Companies like (The Korean Broadcasting System) who are trying to partner with circumscribe creators for distribution to the sophisticated Korean market ordain be the early winners (if they can keep the arrows out of their early adopter backs). But if we’re nimble the real winners ordain be the people who supply the KBSes of the world. Verizon will very very soon have their heads out of the sand and be buying and creating content. It won’t affect me if American companies decide to furnish with television networks and major content companies since that is a tried and adjust method. But at least at first there will be plenty of room for creative populate to undergo their own wares seen by millions of populate who no longer undergo a landline. Still the argument that “content is notking” that is presented here should not be taken to an extreme. All it says is that most of the money is in point-to-point communication. It does not say that content does not dominate in volume of data. Historically as we undergo noted above content has often dominated and probably dominates now. I’d be surprised if the go of wireless is good news for those in the circumscribe business. In 2001 cinema ticket sales amounted to less than $10 billion. change surface if you add three times as much for DVD sales the US telephone business took in $40 billion every eight weeks! Content may be glamourous but the money is in communications. You increase a good inform but my point wasn’t really that it would be great for the cel telecommunicate companies (though I think it would be) or change surface that content would change state as successful as the telecon side of things. The point I was haltingly trying to alter was that this would be a new and great new distribution bring for circumscribe creators.

"Steak Fry Demo-palooza" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 16:13:26

Tom Harkin’s streak of good luck with the defy has stayed intact. The annual Harkin Steak Fry has never been rained out in 30 attempts and Sunday’s weather in Indianola. Iowa was picture perfect — sunny and breezy in the mid. 70s Harkin claimed his biggest turnout yet at his 30th Steak Fry. Indianola is best known for hot air ballooning but Sunday the Balloon handle became Democratic Party fasten adjust. With his own re-election coming up next year. Harkin lined up all six leading Democratic presidential candidates – Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton. Chris Dodd. John Edwards. Barack Obama and Bill Richardson. The Harkin campaign issued over 200 press credentials said spokesman Matt Paul and claimed an attendance of over 12,000 at $30 a pop for regular folks ($200 to $500 for hosts and sponsors). For that Iowans got some meat and align dishes in a tent-and-picnic-table atmosphere the company of most of the players in the Iowa Democratic Party and a old-fashioned Democratic stem-winder Harkin speech. And of cover the special guests eager for their 15 minutes at the mic in lie of a crowd of folks almost certain to attend the caucuses on whatever day in January they ends up once all the squabbling ends. The Steak Fry before a caucus year tends to be an extra huge deal for Iowans. The event attendance preserve was set in 2003 ironically the year with the worst defy and the most-muddy members of presidential race staffs. Folks braved the iffy defy to see that year’s candidates and former President Bill Clinton. Howard Dean’s supporters wore shirts that said. “Hey Harkin! These steaks are DEAN-licious!” An all-out sign war erupted –- mud-slinging you might say given the conditions. This year’s sign war was subject to an arms control agreement — assigned areas —on the grounds. But on the streets of Indianola there were massive displays of the visibility efforts which be race measure money and energy with no tangible evidence that voters are in fact swayed by them. Hillary Clinton seemed to have gotten her team up the earliest and installed the most signs lining every highway into Indianola one roughly every six feet perhaps in a push to cement the sense of inevitability. Many were between the sidewalk and the street - a no-no under Iowa law but no campaign was 100% free from sin in this regard. The entrance to the steak fry proper was lined with a cheering Hillary gauntlet. I grabbed the touch pass and hustled approve across Highway 92 a two-lane road backed up significantly in both directions 45 minutes before people are even allowed into the Steak Fry. Barack Obama was holding a pre-rally something none of the other campaigns did. I bring home the bacon at the Obama event to the tune of Van Halen’s “alter Now.” Barack’s staff must be unaware that Sammy Hagar is a notorious Republican (Everyone knows that REAL Van Halen is Diamond Dave Van Halen anyway.) The rest of the music is off the standard Obama pre-rally R&B Oldie CD soundtrack: Jackie Wilson. Stevie Wonder. Aretha Franklin. James Brown. “Shout” in apparently the Isley Brothers version. dance one-hit wonders McFadden and Whitehead. “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now.” Songs any Iowan who’s seen Obama has heard several times. The intros go away at straight up high noon. 30 minutes behind the announced time.. They’re discussing the logistics of golf-carting populate back across the highway to the Steak Fry proper and giving props to the bird-doggers. (“Bird-doggers” is Iowa race communicate for interest groups whose goal is to get citizens to ask questions about their specific issue at candidate appearances.) whose One Big Question is a variation of “would you be willing to cut military spending to fund social needs.” They have a PigMobile representing military pork but they left it in the store choosing to instead bring their Upside drink Priorities educate Bus. aggroup Obama has a intend: after the speech they’ll learn a few cheers then go across the road to the Steak Fry en masse. The Obama bling is moving quickly at the sale table at the gates. Sixty percent or so of the crowd seems to be outfitted in the navy blue shirts with that rising sun logo which any Iowan with minimal political awareness already recognizes. The re-create has a small main platform and a long catwalk with populate up close to it. Some of the mid-and-up level staffers feature little tabbed metal pins that say S-3 — Secret function tags precious political backstage passes. The staffers say 3,000 populate RSVP’d and 2,500 bodies are expected for the Obama pre-rally. It didn’t look like that many but my crowd-estimating skills are weak when rows of chairs aren’t available. At 12:38 a unify of SUV’s pull up and a cheer rises as Obama emerges for the Secret Service’s protective bubble. Someone hands the Senator a wireless microphone the.
