Ok me and a buddy of mine only heard about Obama being at OSU a few days ago after not being to go see him at the nearest arena due to work. So we both called off work and decided to take the hour and a half drive. The event started at 10am with doors opening at 830am, but we decide we need there to be early because the seats were first come first serve. Now this is where everything went wrong. We woke up an hour late due to ****ty alarm clocks. Then as soon as we get in the car we realize he has lost his GPS system. So we have to drive back to my place which was another ten minutes out of the way. I print out directions on map quest and we are on our way. Now after an hour and 15 mins it looks like we are getting close right, but then we get lost. Turns out map quest isnt really that spot on. So it takes us atlest 20 minutes to find our way and Im thinking we are 
ed for sure, then we see the aren. Huge ass line coming out of the building. We go to park one place, security says we need clearance. Another place, same answer. Eventually we get to a parking lot 10 blocks away that had shuttles to the arena. We jump on one and finally get to the arena.
Despite the huge crowd we do get in, and are searched pretty half assed. I really didnt take the time to care. We find our seat which were pretty close to the stage and my adrenaline started pumping. Then we get a message that he is going to be an hour late atleast. I had know problem with this as I knew he had a big schedule and I was just happy that I would be seeing him. 40 minutes later I hear a huge group of cheers and I think "its him." But I dont see him. Turns out it was just OSU alumni and two time Heisman winner, Eddie George. George gets on the mic and explains how Obamas campaign is just like his career. Pretty good ****.He finishes and introduces the Major. Dont recall his name but he does explain how Obama is good for Ohio and America. Then finally the time comes....
Out comes the man to a pop that rivals that of a lot of great wrestlers. And he doesnt waste time getting to the issuses at hand. I wont go through it much in detailm but basically he explained most his major policies and I agreed with them all. He bashed Iraq war, Bush, Cheney, and even McCains comments to awesome responses. Talked about his health plan which sounds more effective than Hilldogs. His thoughts on the war and bringing our boys home. The few doubts me and my buddy had about voting for him our now long gone, and come election day this mans name will be the one I pick on the ballot.
Here are some photos (Bad quality I know. Camera blows)
