Obama In Osawatamie

(Osawatamie, KS USA) US President Barack Obama has just entered the Osawatamie High School gymnasium and is moving toward the podium to speak.  US Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is at the far right of the image looking up into the crowd. 

Was off to Kansas to capture a few images of President Obama. I had a photo request that included things like demonstrations. Hey, this was Kansas and even people that would never vote for the man still wanted to see him and not a person was impolite. Being locked in immediately before the event as a member of the assembled media, I didn't get the opportunity to see the one group that did show up to protest. Considering they are the same ones that protest at service members funerals, they didn't need any more coverage than they already get.

There are a lot of stories in this crowd shot.  No way to know what they are, but it's certainly a diverse group.

Everywhere the President goes, a crowd follows.
