Quote:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama spoke to a packed, cheering crowd of 2,300 at Bend's Summit High School Saturday, addressing a variety of issues and imploring his audience to help him "turn the page" and write a new chapter in U.S. history.
"How's it goin', Bend?" Obama said as he took the stage in an open-collar white shirt and rolled-up sleeves, pacing slowly back and forth as he touched on all the issues and took several questions from the audience over an hour-long span.
Enthusiastic supporter, Bend resident and civil rights leader Myrlie Evers-Williams introduced Obama: "What a very, very exciting day this is!"
"Thank you everybody! Thank you so much!" he said. "What a wonderful crowd. Please, have a seat."
"I am so thrilled to be east of the mountains in Central Oregon," Obama said. "You guys have some pretty real estate out here. I want to stick around. Who's gonna teach me fishin'?"
We'll have much more of what Obama said, crowd reaction and more on NewsChannel 21 at 6 and 11 and First on Fox at 10, and on KTVZ.COM.

he then parted the red sea as an encore....
And then Obama spoke: “Amen, amen, amen. Verily I say unto you.........” Shortly thereafter, the crowd was speaking in tongues.
Does this make 58 states Obama has been in now? Too bad his campaign managers won’t let him go to the great state of North Idaho, or Eastern North Carolina.
This guy is such a f-ing idiot. He's never been fishing in his life. He will be so easy to beat.
