By Chenelle Terry SYRACUSE (NCC NEWS) President Barack Obama stopped in Syracuse to promote his plan to make college more affordable for the middle class. The stop is a part of his 2-day bus tour across New York and Pennsylvania to tell the community, how he plans to make a difference. A cheering crowd greeted President Barack Obama inside Henninger High School’ s gymnasium, but it was hard for those attendees and the President to miss the hundreds of anti-fracking protesters like Renee Vogelsang, lining the streets. “We know fracking cannot be done safely. We want the president to embrace a renewable energy economy right now, not tomorrow, one that isn’t going to make people sick, that isn’t going to harm our drinking water, our food shed, our air, and provide good safe jobs with solar power wind, geothermal hydro, we can do it right now,” said Vogelsang. Peaceful commotion (c) 2013 Chenelle Terry Although protesters made their passion to fight against fracking known, some believe they did it in a non-combative way. Margaret Wristoff attended the presidential speech with her kids, and said things were actually peaceful. “I thought it was kind of neat for my kids to see that there’s two sides and that everyone could say what they wanted to say without it turning violent,” said Wristoff. A motivational message Although some people headed to the area that President Obama would be with other motives in mind, those that attended the speech were touched by his words. Marissa Jones, sang the National Anthem at the event. As a recent graduate of Nottingham High School, and soon heading off to college, she says the president’s words gave her extra motivation to continue towards a higher education. “I felt very encouraged to just go to school and finish and graduate. Very overwhelming, I’m very humbled to be here and to just be a part of this, I’ m speechless,” said Jones. Hillside & Upward Bound, programs in Syracuse that focus on higher education preparation, were at the event. Some students said that it means a lot to them that President Obama chose their city and is working hard to make sure they can attend college.
