Obama at conference center -Portland OR

ed
We met at Michaels Italian sandwich shop about 5 blocks from the conference center in Portland OR.  Americans for prosperity was there with music, signs and prayer.
                                                                   ;

  It was heart warming to see so many Patriots there with flags and with no hateful signs but with signs that tell the truth about what is happening to America.

   During the opening prayer there came a man with tatoos all over his body, her was disturbing the prayer and causing all kinds of havoc. He was ushered away

   At 1 pm we decided to have some lunch at Michaels,  We had a Michaels burger which consists of meatballs, very good!

After lunch Ginny and I started out towards the Conference center;  we walked for about 2 blocks and a man came out of a tattoo store, the same man with all the tattoos. He started arguing with Ginny about taking away his health care using language like f this and f that I told him to cool his language he wouldn't so then Ginny left the scene and I decided to take his picture but he tried to slap the camera  out of my hands.He didn't want me to take his picture very much so I started to back away, when I was about ten ft away I started to take his picture again, then he started to run at me like he was going to tackle me, I brace myself and when he hit me he just bounced backward staggering into the street. It was actually very funny, I started laughing and so did some road construction workers across the street. A lot of the people in Portland Or do not like Tea Party people! This confirmed it.

    We went on to the conference center, there was a  lot of people there that had been there waiting in line for a couple of hours. We hadn't planned on going into the center but since Ginny was in her handicap cart there was a volunteer that offered to get her to a good spot inside the center so we thought why not. We were about 30 ft from from the telepromters.

         Ginny had a sign on her go go that said "Take back America", we had a small US flag and a small gadsden flag and I had a T Party Patriot cap on. The volunteer Ushers did not like this and they told us not to display them or they would escort us out of the place. They said we looked like nice people Why would we like to be Patriots?  We video taped Obama's speech.
