Why it Matters. (Live Stream of President Obama)
Today, the President plans to speak to house parties across the country at 6:30 ET, 3:30 Pacific, and 2:30 Alaska time. He’ll field questions and talk about the importance of this year’s election — and about how much each commitment to vote matters in moving America forward.
The Mudflats will have a live stream available of the event, so be sure to tune in here at the appropriate time for your area. Feel free to live blog it in the comments, and share your thoughts.
(UPDATE: Looks like there was a delay. Set to go at 7pm Eastern, 4 Pacific, 3 Alaska.)
I hope hope he can beat back the voter apathy, and rally the masses.
Woohoo. Time enough for a quick bicycle ride and making popcorn before it starts.
Back soon with the popcorn.
Make some for me too and also …It’s fantastic with a drizzle of olive oil, salt pepper and parmeasan (sp) cheese. (i refudiate my spelling skills and inertia to pick up my dictionary too and also)
Does anyone know if a radio station is broadcasting this?
Where I’m at the Internet availability isn’t good enough for live stream.
If I stand on the 3rd floor roof, 3G is somewhat available…
I can see it, but I can’t hear anything…checked my volume controls…
same here.
lessons in patience…(As many as I’ve had, you’d think I’d have learned some by now….)
“coming up…”
Here we go!
Music…voices over bumpersticker….
House party! I’m in the house!
I can hear it but see nothing.
Yay! Now it is working…..
Take 3!
Technical difficulties at the source, I’m thinking…it’s not us….
Great story at Alan Colmes LIberaland. Obama is more popular in Alaska than Palin.

the other side is counting on your apathy…
change happens from the bottom up…because of you!
now just the bumpersticker and background noises
every time I hit reply, it kicks me off the live feed and I have to click again…
doesn’t seem too organized, this live feed house party
I’m not a member of any organized party…I’m a Democrat (says thatcrowwoman)
PO: Are you fired up?! (Yes, say I, and I love my freedom, also, too)
now just the bumpersticker and background noises
I can still see but not hear, lol I need a miracle. =)
I think we just saw a commercial, now I have to pic, but I can hear lots of people talking
Fifteen more minutes….As for the commitment to vote, I already have voted. Now I’ve got to get up to actually volunteering this time, but I’ve been a bit under the weather.
Me too, Ziggy!! Sigh!!!
I think there are too many people watching the stream, which is a good thing. I can hear him now. =) http://www.barackobama.com/live/
ty for the website zyggy now I can get a bigger pick and have a window for the flats.
you are welcome. Glad to have helped Great being here with all of you too.
Thanks from me also Zyggy
“it’s about the work we have left to do…
we need you to commit to vote…”
GOTV!!
i am fired up and ready to vote and so are my friends, neighbors and family.
come on pups and do the right thing on election day!!
Me too also…. We’re gonna Vote Values, as Scoot McAdams so eloquently said.
crowwoman, click on the link posted,it’s the same and then you can post here w/o having to click on the stream here.
thanks, zyggy
Plenty of pups in the house now, and I can’t type as fast as I listen so I’ll quit multitasking and listen for now.
*watching in appreciation*
I’m just getting their recorded intro piece. I think maybe they’re waiting for the President.
It says at the site it begins at 7:00 Eastern.
I really do think they didn’t expect such a big crowd to live steam this. We must be breaking all sorts of servers. =)
now just the bumpersticker and background noises
open in 2 tabs…one to listen, one to comment, but too much teasing here, gosh darnit!
more music…still fired up…
now just the bumpersticker and background noises
oooh, more music PO is fired up!
While I was looking for the stream, I found a note that the speech is delayed until 4pm Pacific time.
That would be 3pm Alaska time.
I have a picture and no sound. I did have sound and no picture. Sheesh!!
here we go
I have picture and sound but it looks like a different crowd!!
The program has started, For me it is 1AM on wed, 13 Oct. Hi everyone in the USA!!
I tried to post here and lost both picture and sound again!
You can open 2 tabs both with Mudflats. Watch on one, comment on the other. Hope that helps!
Calif, open up a different window with the stream and post here. here is that link

pull up a different window, http://www.barackobama.com/live/
Hi kathy top of the morning to you
PO talking about Election night 2008. Grass roots, ordinary people. Reaffirmation that our common destiny is up to us, not to big business. Litany of our problems at that time.
He recognizes anger, fear and anxiety. Republicans will try to ride this into control of Congress. He itemizes what HAS been done.
Big hugs to the live bloggers!
I’m on the roof, catching some sunshine, getting all fired up.
Question. How can citizens best mitigate the effects of big money on this election? 86% of big money ads are negative. We can’t change the law this cycle, but we need to get out correct information and get out the vote. People listen more to real people than they do to negative ads.
It is so refreshing to hear intelligent, rational things being said on these issues. The baggers have been taking up all the media’s attention lately. This is a breath of fresh air for me.
I agree with you, I like hearing him talk
What a differance between Obama and people like Glen Beck, Limpburger, and Sarah the Terror
Thanks Mudpups for the advice on pulling open another window, but once I had picture and sound I was afraid to post so I just watched the President and enjoyed! Thanks again!
