9:30a. In place and set.

Cheers and excitement are coming from all around the capital and mall area. It's fillin up quick with people from all directions filtering in. The event seems to be running smoothly. Friendly security forces pass by from time to time making sure all is well. Ocasional sirens in the background, but for the most part a peaceful morning. They just added the protective shield around the podium where obama will give his speach. Post by jack witt.
