Several members of the Law School community braved the harsh rain, wind, and cold to hear Obama, including <a href="/Academics/Faculty/ProfilesDe/AmmonsLinda.aspx">Dean Linda Ammons</a>, who had the opportunity to meet with the candidate briefly.<br><br>Obama spoke just after 10:00 am on Memorial Field behind Old Main, making the case a week before the election that he is the candidate most equipped to deal with the country’s current financial crisis. He also sounded a populist note, suggesting that change would come not from a political candidate, but rather from the American people themselves, saying, “When times are tough, when it's cold, when it's raining, when it's hard — that's when we need to stand up."<br><br>Both Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and Widener University President James T. Harris III spoke briefly before Obama arrived. Harris welcomed everyone to Chester and noted that Obama's running mate, <a href="/Academics/Faculty/ProfilesDeAdj/BidenJosephR.aspx">Sen. Joseph R. Biden, Jr.</a>, is a long-time member of the Delaware campus law faculty. Senator Biden has taught a seminar on issues in constitutional law at Delaware’s only law school since 1991.
