Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama walks down the steps at the gateway arch in St. Louis, Mo., Saturday, Oct. 18, 2008. I like this picture because, 1. it’s in St. Louis and 2. I like the contrast of the steps and just the man. Click to enlarge
More interesting campaign photos of Obama
I’m surprised you haven’t posted any photos of him walking on the Mississippi.
not to mention he looks like he is walking on air…..
I thought he only ascends.
Windows has detected a rythmic motion from Jonco’s mouse …
That was just before he parted the waters of the Mississippi and walked over to the Casino Queen.
I live in STL,but missed this historic event.Did he make it down safely? I dought he parted the waters,his limo driver took him to the Queen to play a little blackjack.
He may not walk on water, but I hope he can part of the sea of bullshit in this country… from both sides.
yep, all down hill from here.
Get up come on get down with the sickness.

I know it’s real, but that looks weirdly photoshopped.
That was, no matter what party you’re in, a really impressive day. I mean 100,000 people crammed in around the Arch! That’s pretty incredible!
Derek,that number is false.Imagine if you will,all of the homelss people standing on the Gateway to the west grounds asking for spare change.CHANGE is coming,perhaps he can get these people off the streets and on their feet.Remember one little problem,you must want to work.
KLAW,
What makes you think that number is false? And what the Hell does the rest of your comment have to do with Derek’s comment or the post?
FYI, the crowd estimate was from the St. Louis Police Department who have some experience in estimating crowd sizes.
And, that big long bar on your keyboard is the SPACE bar. Learn how it’s used.
s p a c e b a r,got it, thanks! Estimates are just what the word implies, please do not forget the estimates prior to the Popes visit,it scared people away,not that I was interested, man, give me a break, I am new here.
It’s ok KLAW. Jonco just klawed back coz he’s got a right to.
When J-WALK sees what a dumbass his brother is he will be laughing his tail off. Please let me know if I made anymore errors, as I hate to insult.
Looks like he’s wearing the Hover Shoes detailed yesterday at this site…
It’s not photoshopped, he saw how to make size 11 hover shoes here on B&P.
There may have been 100,000 there to see McCain’s Gateway Arch-enemy, but what’s important is that the other 300,000,000 US residents had better things to do.
Sorry, revrick315, somehow I missed your post, you beat me to it.
KLAW is new to the internets.
You’re right KLAW… Estimates are never correct. We’ve had thousands upon thousands of people on those grounds before. It’s been some time, but they used to CRAM people in and shut down entire blocks for our fourth-of-July celebrations, and most of the time, it wasn’t even a FRACTION as full as it was for President Elect Obama’s appearance.
So yeah. The estimate might be off a bit. It might have been more.
As for the rest of your post…I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, so I’ll ignore it.
And @ Scott. I guess it’s pointless to note that most of the other 300,000,000 residents of the nation don’t actually live in St. Louis, so your point makes no sense, huh?
Geez Derek, only a fraction of my comments are completely serious. I was just pointing out that 100,000 is a small number compared to the entire population or even compared to the number who voted for him. I guess it’s pointless to note that most of the 100,000 at the hypnotism probably don’t actually live in St. Louis, so your point makes no sense, huh?
Predicting a turnout crowd is different that estimating the size of an established crowd.
When the pope came to St. Louis the media kept telling everyone to stay home and avoid the area because it would be too crowded. In thew end everyone listed to the media and few showed up. I think that’s quite different.
Revrick 315,
Good one!
