GAVE CLOSING ARGUMENTS IN PITTSBURGH, PA AT THE MELLON ARENA By Ashley G. Woodson for Brotha Ash Productions |
It was a scene of thousands of people standing in line to see Senator Barack Obama at the Mellon Arena. "This
is history in the making and I would not have missed it for the
world," says Renee Knox Doors opened
at 3pm and Barack hit the stage around 5:30pm. Before he gave his
speech, he was Barack Obama's speech was considered to be his "closing argument" in this campaign.
The vibe in the room was that of family and friends who were witnessing history. A song called "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" played in the background and some people in the crowd starting snapping their fingers, dancing and singing along. Bob
Casey, Gov. Ed Rendell let everyone know of their support for
Obama. Pittsburgh really stepped When Obama came to the stage, the crowd broke out into huge applause and he started speaking right away.
"After decades of broken politics in Washington, eight years of failed policies from George Bush, and 21 months of a campaign that has taken us from the rocky coast of Maine to the sunshine of California, we are one week away from change in America," Obama said. "Pittsburgh, that is why we can't afford to slow down or let up one day or one minute or one second in this final week. We got an election to win," Obama said. There were alot of children at the Obama rally. Most of the people wanted their children to see the man who may become President of the United States. For those Barack supporters who did not make it to Mellon Arena, you missed something historical and amazing. It was almost as if the spirit of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was in Mellon Arena and made you proud to be BLACK.
