Obama in Baltimore

Our new president made his way down to Washington yesterday on a whistlestop tour, stopping in Baltimore. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to finally see him and more importantly to see the excitement that he has generated in my city.
I rode my bike downtown as there were quite a few street closures, I hate driving, and I'm a cyclist. When I got there the line wove around at least ten city blocks. I got in line not really expecting to get into the area where he would be speaking, but a few hours later there I was in a sea of humanity, a crowd pulsing with excitement-wow!
