In reply to the discussion: liveblog from the Obama appearance in Auburn New York [View all]Cooley Hurd
(26,877 posts)15. Recap:
I stood on the fender of a dump truck for about an hr.
All of a sudden, the cheers went up and a very bulky bus emblazoned with the Presidential Seal glided past.
It was very dark, and the lead cars of the motorcade blinded me so I couldn't see POTUS.
Epilogue: The Fox News Mobile Unit drove past me on MY street - I yelled "BOOOOOOOO! Stop LYING you DICKS!"
Pics to come - in the process of uploading them.
