I'm an Obama supporter so I requested press credentials. It was a great experience even though his speech was very business- and policy-oriented so it wasn't as moving and passionate as he can be on the podium. I was hoping for an interview too but they gave me a rain check.

At least the secret service agent who frisked me was cute. And she seemed way younger than me too!

Huh, I didn't even know he was here!

Auberon says:

You'd be surprised who in the crowd is secret service... I work with someone who's a former agent...no way would you ever tag her as SS, but more than likely, she'd kick major A** if she had to.

I too support Obama...

Barak has cojones -- going after the Big Three at a speech in Detroit. I like him. (But I think Edwards is my man.)

Great shot, BTW.

American Patriotism is nothing more than a nostalgic dream of a country which no longer exist. There is such a fast difference in the level and kind of freedoms we once had. Family culture in America in no way resembles what it once was. Politicians from the Right and Left read from the same script like professional actors fooling people into thinking they are actually making some kind of choice when they vote. Like the movie MATRIX, you can taste the steak, even if it does not exist. But all dreams die. A new kind of values is coming to this country. It is a new type of horror which will be altogether very real. It makes no difference who you elect as president. I refuse to vote and be a part of this lie any longer. I was once an election offiicial!!! I went to July 4th parades. I hung out the flag. I hate this country that exist today. I pray to find a country which will let me move to and work there. Many countries are closing doors because other Americans see it too.

radiospike photography says:

Aaron, I appreciate your opinion and believe that John McCain must have some sort of plan... we just never got to hear about it because he spent 100% of his advertising and stump speeches talking about Barack Obama.

McCain doesn't celebrate the American Dream with his plan for jobs. He thinks NAFTA works, but if you ever make a trip up here to the Motor City, you'll see how its potential was oversold to the American people. It did not create the jobs and wealth that were promised - it sent our jobs to Mexico, Canada and overseas. Obama is also ending tax cuts for companies that ship jobs overseas and he will use that money to cut taxes for small businessed and companies that create jobs in America.

You must be rich to favor McCain's tax plan because he certainly isn't giving any relief to those who need it most. Obama's plan cuts taxes for 95% of workers and their families. For the highest 5%? He asks them to give back part of their Bush tax cut. As far as most of us in the middle class (earning $30-70,000), McCain gives us a $325 tax break while Obama gives us $1,118.

For more reasons you should vote for Obama, go to www.radiospike.com

radiospike photography says:

aww, bummer.

Every time I think I can have an intellectual conversation with a McCain supporter on this thread, they turn ugly on me.

By the time I replied to his note here, he had written some nasty, hateful things regarding Obama on some of my other photo pages. So I had no choice but to block him, which deletes all of his posts.

Sorry you didn't get to read his original post, but you weren't missing much. Like so many others, he offered empty talking points and little logic and reason.

your response was great spike. in fact, i just got finished reading your info on radiospike.com...it's frustrating that you put forth the effort to have a conversation and he had to get all crazy. see, that's why i've resorted to comments like mine up there ^ .....it keeps happening on my stream too. *sigh*

I'm very intrigued with photography, I've been perusing Flickr a lot this past week looking for inspiring shots and ideas, and I want to learn an abundant amount of information so that I can decorate my home with framed pictures that I captured. Needless to say this picture of yours caught my eye, just showing you appreciation for your great work.
Whenever you get some free time, check out my personal collection below. I'm just starting out and I only have a handful of photos but I welcome your constructive feedback and any advice you can share with me. Thanks and have a great day.
