Obama, with Gov. Jon Corzine at the Susquehanna Bank Center in downtown Camden, rallied a crowd of 5,500 to turn out to reelected the Democratic governor on Tuesday in a race with Republican Chris Christie that polls show is neck-and-neck, and where turnout is expected to be key.
"I know these are challenging times. Jon knows these are challenging times," POTUS said. "This is why he got into public service. He didn't do it for a pay check. He did it because he knew we can do better."
Obama, who spoke for 24 minutes, called Corzine, who stood next to him on stage, an "honorable man at the helm in this state, during one of the most difficult periods of its history." Corzine, who introduced Obama, spoke for just eight minutes.
"Make no mistake, elections matter," Corzine said.
He leveled repeated attacks against Christie, cracking that the former prosecutor would "kick some of our kids out of preschool. He thinks it's babysitting."
Obama called on the audience to vote, and to make sure others do.
"You're going to need to get cousin Pookie off the couch, and say, 'Pookie, it's time to go vote,' " POTUS said. "You've all got a cousin Pookie, you know who I'm talking about."
Next stop for the Democratic pair, a rally in Newark later today.
I don’t have a cousin Pooky.
“You’ve all got a cousin Pookie, you know who I’m talking about.”
I think he’s smoking crack again...
I suppose it would be bad form for Christie supporters to buy a half pint of whiskey for Pookie and encourage him to stay on the sofa.
Sue the bastard.
he’s all wee weed up..........
>>Sue the bastard.<<
Pookie, you on the couch again?
First "Wee-Wee'd Up"....now "Cousin Pookie"!!
Whiskey-tango-foxtrot is he talking about? Maybe it’s a Chicago thing from back in the ‘hood?
Wow, 24 minutes next to each other. Who thought who stunk the worst?
He’s not talkig about “Porch Pooky”, is he?
you needed some explanation for why he was always hanging around, so you called him your “play cousin.” You didn’t share the same blood in your veins, but you damn sure had the same amount of Kool-Aid flowing through it. You and Pookie got into trouble together, and sometimes Pookie even took the fall for you. But then, somewhere around 10th grade, Pookie’s behavior started skewing more criminal than mischievous, and by your sophomore year in college, Pookie had caught a case and was doing a dime bid in a state correctional facility.
When Pookie finally gets out, you sincerely want to be supportive. You wanna let him come over for the backyard barbecues and the graduation parties, but you can set your watch by the fact that Pookie is gon’ get liquored up and “ack a puredee FOOL.” He’ll cuss out some older relative, or grope a young niece’s friend, or spill his personal bottle of Everclear on your microfiber rug, and you’ll wanna beat him like he stole from you. Which you’ll eventually find out he did.

No, I think this is just a poor rip off of a Bill Cosby routine.
English not their first language or is this a result of public schools?
