As Barack Obama emerged in front of an estimated crowd of 22,000 in front of Old Main on the Penn State University campus, Ashley Sims shouted the kind of welcome usually reserved for pop stars.
"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I love you, Barack! Look at me! Hi!"
This from a 24-year-old graduate student who customized her cell phone's ring tone as the Obama Girl tune, "I've Got a Crush on Obama."
When speaking about Obama, she has a dreamy look in her eyes, clasps her hands to her chest, and pauses in the middle of sentences as if she just can't find the words.
"I didn't know that he was possible," she said.
At 11:45 a.m., Hershey High School alumni Cayla Rasi and Andrew Mackay arrived at the back of the line. Two hours later, they got in just in time to see the beginning of Obama's speech, but there were people behind them who never made it in.
"It's really amazing everyone got up after a Saturday night at Penn State," Rasi said.
Sean Perugini, a junior from Harleysville, Montgomery County, partied late Saturday, but Obama was worth waking up early for, he said. That's quite an honor in his book.
At a time when he doesn't feel like his government is listening to him, Obama has affirmed his faith in democracy, Perugini said.

Obama at Penn State

24 is the new 16, apparently. That a grad student should act in such an adolescent manner is disturbing.

"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I love you, Barack! Look at me! Hi!" That cannot be an accurate quote. There are no likes in it.

This from a graduate student? She's probably a Mass Communication major who hasn't been taught to think.

Then, of course, look at all the crazy old ladies on FR that were reacting in a similar fashion to our slimy liberal RINO Romney.

Sounds like Ashley Sims is oval office material. Bill would be telling the Secret Service to get her name, there’s an internship in her future.

These are the same people who believe hope for the future is a future of hope, they hope.
