Dear Mr. President — My Message to Barack Obama

November 7, 2012

 

Dear Mr. President:

Congratulations on winning a second term.

You have been entrusted with the greatest privilege any American can be given.  That is the honor of leading our nation.

Over the next four years, you will face many tough decisions.  If there are doubts about which direction to go, I have a few words of advice:  Remember the message that got you elected.  Remember the things you stood for that won you 60 million votes, not just once — but twice.  Remember the causes you championed out on the campaign trail that brought cheers from the crowds.  Those were not conservative ideas.  They were not even moderate ideas.  For the most part, they were liberal ideas.  That’s what got you elected, Mr. President — a second time.

2012 WSOP Championship — Greg Merson’s Moment of Victory (Video)

 

Here’s a two-minute video clip of the final hand of the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event Championship.

While ESPN does a remarkable job in its coverage, this video shows what it’s like to sit in the audience and watch poker history unfold.

The film quality is average, but viewers get a pretty good glimpse into the excitement of the room that night, and how the crowd reacted at the Penn and Teller Theatre at the Rio Las Vegas.  This was shot at about 4:45 am on Oct. 31, 2012.

When I shot this video, I was positioned directly behind second-place finisher Jesse Sylvia’s supporters, who predictably had a much more subdued reaction to the final hand.  The bulk of Merson’s supporters are in the foreground and swarm the stage at the moment of victory.
