Two African-American girls shout toward the overwhelming crowd as they lift Obama T-shirts, high and proud. With every intersection crossed, the crowd grows larger, louder, prouder.Vendors are busy at work, selling pieces of history. An elderly couple takes a picture with a tall, gentlemen wearing a painted white face and dressed in a white robe with conspicuous white wings.
The approach toward Grant Park. The enormous crowd pouring over every nook and cranny. Like ants marching their way to build a new colony, a new life.
Reporters from all over the world gather amongst them. Excited supporters jump in front of the camera and shout, “Obama!”
Police officers patrol. On foot. On horseback. With their eyes.
A young woman stands proudly as she holds a microphone, speaking clearly and proudly, of the need for Obama to run our country out of the deep hole.
Close by, someone hoists a large banner high. It touches everyone. It speaks: “No More War For Empire.”
