Obama @ Invesco Field
Okay, so there’s actually no pictures of Obama in this gallery. That’s because I never actually got to see him. The seats for my community pass were located directly behind the scaffolding at the back of the blue stage. I did see a white cuff belonging to Al Gore for a fraction of a second, because he’s so tall and he was holding his arm up in the air.
Anyway, this is a fairly complete documentary of the event done up in photos, from waiting in line outside until the fireworks and confetti stopped. I hope you like them, and I hope I’ve conveyed a bit of the feeling of what it was like to be there.
Just seeing these pics again makes me tear up. 2008 was quite a year, and this day was the highlight of it for me. You can really see the patriotism, power and hope in these people.
(Oh, and as for those people upset about the Dems throwing those flags in the trash, I’ve got mine right here in the living room. They should understand that flags were placed in holders in empty seats throughout the stadium, so it’s the empty seats who were unpatriotic and threw the flags away. The people I saw were saving everything, including confetti made out of biodegradable tissue paper. I have a couple white tissue stars around here too.)
