KANSAS CITY — When Barack Obama stopped in Kansas City Tuesday, he was welcomed by a crowd so big that the fire marshal wouldn’t allow anymore people inside the Municipal Auditorium. The Kansas City Star put the numbers above 6,000. Others put the number closer to 8,000.
Senator Claire McCaskill and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius stood behind the presidential hopeful as he delivered a speech filled with humor and hope.
Obama asked his supporters not to be fooled by his opponents distortions. “People want to hoodwink you,” said Obama. “They want to bamboozle you. They want to run the ‘okie-doke’ on you.”
Sorry about the bouncy camera. You wouldn’t believe what I had to do to get this video.
