Hello World,
Guess where I was on Friday night? Chile, I was in the SWAT (Southwest Atlanta) to see with my own two eyes plus contacts that President Barack Obama was actually going to show up at Tyler Perry Studios on Continental Colony! As I rode down the street and up to the home base of THE richest man in show biz, I was invigorated by the people that had gathered along the streets with lawn chairs and posters welcoming the president to Atlanta! This was one of those “once in a lifetime” moments that I will cherish forever…Y’all I know that men like POTUS and TP are the very embodiment of what our enslaved ancestors hoped, wished & prayed for…So with all of that being said, I took a few pictures so that you can see what I enjoyed…
This is what I saw as I drove onto the grounds of Tyler Perry Studios...
People waiting to be let inside of the studios...
I took a photo of Tyler Perry's motto which is displayed on this water wall. I took the photo from the outside so some of the words did not show up, but it says, "A Place Where Even Dreams Believe." Amen!
The entrance to his 400-seat theater! I loved "Good Deeds!" Have you seen it?
Walking to the back lot...
This is the first structure that you see once you enter the back lot...TP has named it "34th Street," as in "Miracle on 34th Street."
Me on 34th Street...My look was my homage to Michelle Obama's official White House portrait...
I love this look...Understated & Classy...
More pics from 34th Street...Doesn't this look real?
34th Street again...
A cake fit for a president...
Setting up for the president...I was there early...
Dueling deejays getting the crowd hype...I mean this in the SWAT...
Me just taking it all in...
The crowd...jam packed...
Since we were in the SWAT, you know one of our biggest stars had to perform...Cee Lo getting it in!
Mayor Kasim Reed getting everyone hype for TP & POTUS! His greatest line of the night "You better stop comparing President Obama to the Almighty and start comparing him to the alternative." Say that Mayor Reed!
Tyler Perry walking on stage...
Tyler Perry introducing our president...He, too, was amazed that POTUS was in the SWAT, and that he was introducing him!
POTUS!!!
- POTUS again…
It was a great night….
Any thoughts?

Thanks for posting Jackie.
You’re welcome Ivy:)
Very cool!
It was:)
Great pictures! I remember when Bill and I went to see him at Georgia Tech before the election. I hadn’t felt that kind of enthusiasm and hopefulness in a crowd since back in the 60’s. We had a ball, and even got interviewd by the Chicago Tribune (I guess because we were two of the older folks in the crowd.) 🙂
Did you see this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08tj9oC0YU4
I just love the excitement in this sister’s voice!
She was very enthusiastic, and I understand why! Yeah, I remember that Georgia Tech appearance! I wasn’t there, but I had some other friends that were there as well, and they talked about it in the same way..
All I can say is wow! So glad you were in the house!!!
Me too:) We just have to get President Obama reelected!
