On Tuesday, Oct.
9, 2012, Barack Obama visited The Ohio State University while on a presidential
campaign. The well-known music
artist Will.i.am accompanied him.
The event was outdoors in the Oval, the center of the Ohio State
campus. It was sponsored by Obama for America Ohio. To find out more about the organization, visit their website here. I attended the event, and
while there, I planned to tweet actively about my experiences at the
event. However, the event was
extremely crowded and my usually great mobile phone service was not working. I posted the tweets as soon as I got
home.
The
doors for the event opened at 2 p.m.
After that, there were a couple of hours before the event actually
started, but when it did, it was very exciting. Once the event
began, Mayor Michael Coleman and Senator Sherrod Brown both gave enthusiastic speeches. Their speeches got the crowd very
energetic and excited for the president’s speech.
When
Will.i.am came out, the crowd started to get very excited. Unfortunately, he was stationed in a DJ
booth that was located where no one in the crowd was able to see him. This caused a bit of obvious
disappointment, but the music definitely changed the atmosphere. Everyone in
the crowd was beginning to get very eager as the anticipation was rising.
Finally, the
president came out to speak, and gave a wonderful campaign speech, filled with inspiring
words. He was very eloquent and
the speech was motivational. The
uproar of the crowd was at an all time high, and everyone was shoving their way
to the front. Many people were
pulling out their cell phones, cameras and other devices to capture the moment
on film. Despite the technical
difficulties, and the rowdiness of the crowd, I had a wonderful time at this
event. To read my tweets, check out my twitter page, here.
