Crowd at Obama Rally

Crowd at Obama Rally

About 6,600 people were in the audience at Abington High School where Barack Obama spoke today. He exerted an undeniable star power over the crowd, which periodically broke into chants of “Yes we can!” or “O-ba-ma”. He repeated phrases and policy promises that have been key to his campaign thus far, declaring that “he gets” middle-class Americans’ pressing concern over the state of the economy where McCain is out of touch, and emphasizing that 95 percent of Americans would see tax cuts under his administration.

He placed special emphasis on education issues, in light of the location of the event, and made a deal with current high school students: if they serve in their communities, he’ll make sure everyone can afford a college education, “no ifs, ands, or buts.” Attendees leaving the event called it “phenomenal” and said they were thrilled by the experience of seeing Obama in person.
