5 Reasons Obama Owes Town Hall Protesters a Thank You Note

huffingtonpost.com — As a Tampa Bay resident with Forrest Gump-like luck, I found myself sitting literally a foot away from the protesters from Uhuru during the Obama St. Petersburg town hall.

  • Echota, on 01/05/2009, -2/+81) Six protesters just secured 2,000 votes. - This event was far from an Obama love-fest. Having been ostracized during the primary and the punch line for more than a few political jokes on late night talk shows, Floridians are well aware of their swing state status. A large number of attendees were still "purple" and looking to make an educated decision on which candidate to support. Also, the local history between St. Petersburg authorities and the Uhuru organization is a sore spot to many residents on both sides. Obama gaining firm but respectful control of the situation was not lost on observers in the crowd and many left the event having a lot more positive things to say than they did coming in.


    Now I honestly don't see McSame "gaining firm but respectful control of the situation ".

    Heh,heh...blink,blink,blink...my friends....blink,blink,blink
