Where in St. Louis is Barack Obama?

Seen at The Royale

2D BO made it to The Royale tonight for a happy hour with the St. Louis for Obama group.

"Obama" shouted the bar in unison as glasses were raised.  A center of political discourse, The Royale crowd was at ease with their guest.  Many folks approached with a polite photo request.  Steve Smith and his dad chatted it up with 2D BO.

The "regulars" were in attendance, but a few new faces made it out as well.  Planning was underway for the next trip to St. Louis' sister city in Iowa, Ottumwa.  On Saturday, September 8, St. Louisans will meet at 6am for a 10 hour round trip journey to meet our neighbors to the north.  Doors will be knocked and supporters ID'd.  Most important, we'll get the word out that Barack Obama is THE candidate for change in this election.  There's no one else we'd make the journey for.

Anyone interested in Iowa canvassing should call Jennifer at 314-229-0226 before Thursday, 9/6.

Next happy hour for 2D BO and the St. Louis for Obama gang will be Friday, October 5th, 5-7pm at, of course, The Royale.

Generation Obama St. Louis Launch

Generation Obama (GO) launched nationally on Saturday, August 25th and while Barack Obama was the guest of honor at the national kick-off in Miami...

Guests at the GO St. Louis launch had a special guest of their own.  2D BO made his official debut.  Still, despite photos and hugs, when it came time for 3D Barack Obama's live audio address to the GO crowd via phone, all attention turned to the man behind the mic.

With 20 GO chapters on the call, Barack began with a shout out to St. Louis.  He urged everyone to get active, to use this campaign as a vehicle for changing the world we live in.  He talked about changing the landscape so that people who want to enter a life of public service can afford to do so, finding a solution to Darfur, ending the war in Iraq, taking control of climate change, and making education affordable.

Betsey Bruce from Channel 2 Fox News covered the GO launch on the evening news.  Click here for the clip.
