Just saw Obama in Boulder!

Such a marvelous evening at the CU Event Center. There was a live band, people were dancing in the aisles and doing the wave. The POTUS was an hour late but nobody cared, having so much fun. His address was charged but he sounded hoarse. I'm not sure how many people the Center holds, but it was packed. Just wanted to share.

President Obama sounded like he was getting pretty hoarse. The Boulder rally was his third rally of the day.

he still said it all. It seems like every rally is getting more and more focused. I can't see any way Obama won't win a second term.

Hello Laffy Kat,

I did a quick search.

There was a capacity crowd of 10,000.

Sounds like you had a great time.

The President will be in Colorado on Sunday at 9:00 pm at the Community College of Aurora.

Thanks for the update.
