*surprise category!
Fig 1. President’s limo at Mass Ave!!
This is definitely one of the most remarkable event in my life!!! Obama clean energy speech @ MIT!!
(o) Air Force One was above my head =D!!!
(1) Obama was standing at the exact same spot where I sang at Kresge =DDDD
(2 INTENSENESS fills up MIT !! there are barricades, polices, road blocks, helicopters, suited secret service, reporters, cameramen, 新聞車 with the few biggest TV stations in the US, protestors having signs like “We want leaders, not politicans, stop global warming!” , “Investigate 9/11” , and definitely about health care reform and the war! even the T-subway Red Line has to stop =_=
Fig 2. of course there r snipers to shoot people, just in case.
(3) The Tech headlined with “MIT Greets President Obama” with a special colored header in America flag
(4) Went to watch live broadcast at 4-237!! (that’s the only best thing I could do =_=) People sang the national song, standing up with palm on chest. And even this meeti-with-Obama-on-the-projector-screen…there are reserved seats =O=
(5) and Obama is finally here!!! HE IS SUCH A GREAT SPEAKER!!! his quote about MIT (XDD im totally ignoring the clean energy part)
“I’ll probably be here for awhile. I heard students put my motorcade on top of Building 10”- Obama
“Thank you MIT. It’s always been a dream of mine to visit the most prestigious school in Cambridge, Massachusetts”
(Well, wait a minute, certainly the most prestigious school in this part of Cambridge…<- damn harvard alum)
Fig 1. He’s holding up a periodic table during the speech..hahaha
(6) Me and Ziwei immediately rushed to Kresge!!!!!!!!!! for the sake to catch a glimpse!!! AND CAN’T
(7) then I rushed to Mass Ave ..by that time his limo has left already @#$@#$@#$@#$
So, I was really so close to the President of United States, a Nobel Prize winner.
(8) one funny thing is XD during live broadcast..there is subtitles… and when there is random music coming out
♪♪ will pop out XD
crazy eh?
though i really think it is questionable whether he deserves the Nobel Prize
but hey, he is symbolic, he is the first black President in the US
he is , if not greatest, the most influential contemporary political star !
proud =D
hoping to catch a glimpse of a charismatic president
