President receives warm Arizona welcome

CHANDLER, AZ - President Obama was treated like a rock star in Chandler today.

The crowd of a few thousand watching his every move and cheering every chance they got.

Not a lot of Republicans around here.

“We have to remember Congress has stopped him at every turn” said one supporter.

“He knows more than any of us, we have to remember that” said another.

The people who gathered to see President Obama were mostly Intel employees who won a lottery to be here.

They stood in the hot sun for hours for the chance to see and hear the Commander and Chief in person.

Martha Thurson, from Tucson, came because her son, in Intel employee invited her.  She calls it one of the best days of her life.  “He is great.  His mind is sharp.  And when people don’t like what he is doing I just think he knows more than they do.  And I was right."

The President’s speech lasted less than 30 minutes than he headed off to Las Vegas.
