[quote]Obama Draws Record Crowd in Oregon
An estimated 75,000 gathered on the banks of the Willamette River in Portland on Sunday to see Barack Obama. “Wow! Wow! Wow!” were his first words, as he surveyed the multitude, which included people in kayaks and small pleasure craft on the river.[/quote]
Two pictures were included to show Obama in a sea of people:

Is this true? Then that explains a lot about the size of this crowd?
Obama parts the Sea of Stupidity.
He turned the Evian into wine, dintja hear?
LOL
BIG Fn deal! Bush brought in more than 25,000 at Marquette Mich the last election. And thats in a town with a population of just over 13 thousand.
They came from all over the UP to see him. Over one fifth of the total population of the UP of Michigan.
I posted the pics of the event on FR.
The “Sea” sometimes means people or masses.
Oy Vey ........!!
He won’t be president IMO. Hopefully it’s because he loses the election.
Good post !..........Stay safe !
No. That was filmed on the Oregon coast.
Did the article mention the free Dave Matthews concert and free beer for all before Obama showed up?LOL, did they really do that AGAIN?
I think they did in Indiana, but I don’t think it was done in Oregon.
And really, without ticket sales, how does one count 75,000 people? One, two, three, four, five, six,...
Can’t help but think about this scripture when I see your headline
Revelation 13
1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Between photo shop technology and unabashed media bias, I wouldn’t believe an AP photograph if it showed the sun rising in the east.
Cripes a summer regatta in any river town would put that to shame. I did do a search for "Dave Matthews" and "portland / Obama" and didn't find any concert coincidences, but did find a few postings for people wanting to trade Dave Matthews and (I am not making this up) Dalai Lama tickets for Obama tickets. This of course could adversely affect US-Tibetan relations, should Obama prove victorious in November...
I spotted it after I posted.
Never thought he would be an American though.
