October 7, 2012 was not a typical Sunday afternoon in Downtown Los Angeles as people of all races, social classes, religious beliefs and sexual orientation all gathered to attend this once in a lifetime experience and support President Barrack Obama's "30 Days to Victory" concert as he runs for re-election for a second term in office.
You could feel the excitement in the air as people were waiting in a super long line that started at the Nokia L.A. Live venue and curved all the way around to the Olympic Blvd and Figueroa Street intersection to see the likes of Earth, Wind and Fire, Jennifer Hudson, Jon Bon Jovi, Katy Perry and Stevie Wonder.
Stars and celebrities such as George Clooney, Lynn Whitfield and more came out to show their support for Obama and his "Forward" movement.
Earth, Wind and Fire kicked the concert off with hits such as "Shining Star," "Fantasy" and "September. "
Next, Jennifer Hudson took the crowd to church with her power presence and voice singing the old civil rights anthem "Change Gonna Come."
Then Jon Bon Jovi hit the stage and wowed the crowd with the acoustic version of his hit "Livin' On A Prayer."
Fourthly, Katy Perry along with The Silverlake Children's Choir energized the crowd with a cute performance of her hit "Firework."
Last but not least, the legendary Stevie Wonder stole the show with hits "Master Blaster (Jammin')," "My Cherie Amour" "Superstition" and performed a new song he wrote called "Song of Love." Stevie really got the crowd going as everyone was yelling Barrack Obama, 4 more years!
Finally, after all of the performances, President Barrack Obama came out and addressed the people discussing topics such as healthcare and making college affordable for the youth. He was very excited about how the unemployment has lowed to 7.8%, the lowest since he was been in office. But the one thing that he stressed is that there is still work to do and with the people's help, we can move America forward.
Rather you agree with Obama or not, as people of this great nation, we the people can change the world and we have a voice, so on November 6, make sure you get out and vote!
