Yesterday, SemiCharmedQuark was kind enough to post a heads-up that Obama will be in Kucinich territory today, so just thought I'd post the link where it will be streamed. (I wonder if Kucinich will be with him?)

White House will be streaming the event at:

4. Not sure if that's the moment it actually ended, :) , but C-span video to be up shortly.

Sorry I couldn't do a play-by-play (had to get *some* work done) :), but it was pretty raucus from what I did hear of it. Lots of shout-outs (seemed to be mostly in favor of) and applause.

Someone in the audience shouts out to Kucinish, "VOTE YES!!!"

Obama turns in Kucinich's direction and says, "Did you hear that, Dennis!"

Obama almost has me in tears with his story about "Natoma." (The woman whose letter he read to the insurance companies.)

This bill may end up being known as "Natoma's Bill" after this!

There sure are a lot of people that appear to be FIRED UP!

fantastically suitable idea.
