Obama Me!

Photoessay and comment by Ahmed Davis

October 22, 2008. Obama fans of all sorts with excitement and joy on their faces overcrowded Ida Lee Park in Leesburg Virginia to show their dedication and support for Senator Barack Obama. Anticipation grew among the fans and supporters while they waited for him to arrive. Then, Senator Obama walked onto the stage and gracefully took the applause of his fans while greeting them with a cheerful "thank you". He talked about how he will create green job for millions of people. He talked about tax cuts and how he will decrease taxes for the middle class and boost the economy by creating jobs that will help us decrease our dependency on oil. He then made a joke asking the audience to " raise your hands if you make less than 250,000 a year." Almost all hands flew up into the air and he then stated that his tax cut benefits 95% of all Americans. He continued to discuss his agenda, then waved to the cheering crowd, walked off the stage shaking the hands of his supporters as he left.
