Well, da... darn it, it was!

From "Obama Says Bush and McCain Are ‘Fear Mongering’ in Attacks"

As a setting for a major statement of Mr. Obama’s views on how the United States should deal with some of the most problem-laden areas in the world, the venue here was an unlikely one. Although Mr. Bush issued his criticism from the Israeli Knesset, Mr. Obama stood in what was grandly called a “livestock arena,” with wood chips and even cow chips scattered on the floor.

John from Power Line is annoyed (complete with pictures) that Obama didn't find somewhere classier in his home town to talk; said town is Watertown, South Dakota, which is actually a reasonably sized city of about 20,000, and a county seat. Then again, the Senator probably doesn't care overmuch; he just really needs some rustic (read: white) folks to sit around and clap when he talks, and people complain so when they find out that you mocked that up in a Hollywood sound stage.

Not that Obama actually won California, of course.

PS: What, the actual speech? Covered, eviscerated, and analyzed to its component atoms all over the blogosphere by now, folks. I will note that it's probably time for Obama to fire another staffer for the unfortunate symbolism involved; heck, it might even be righteous. Whoever set this up? Clearly a secret Clinton supporter.
