Wistful but Having Fun, Obama Gives Last Push
New York Times ^ | November 1, 2014 | By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS

PORTLAND, Me. — The foldaway blue bleachers and scuffed wooden floor were packed with fleece-clad onlookers as President Obama prepared to take the stage, but the crowd was hushed and sedate, lulled by the smooth jazz piping over the sound system.

“This is straight-up elevator music,” muttered a Democratic aide with a shake of his head, searching in vain for an iPod with a more fired-up soundtrack to greet the leader of the free world. “People are about to fall asleep.”

Minutes later, the crowd was awake and roaring for the president, as a grinning Mr. Obama bounded up a few steps to the stage, his blue shirt sleeves rolled above the elbows, and shouted, “I love you, too!”

It was a jolt of electricity in an otherwise low-wattage event.

Mr. Obama is showing a scrappier side. He has been shrugging off his jacket and dropping some consonants as he revels in the appreciation of core supporters.

“It don’t make no sense,” Obama said in Milwaukee of Republican opposition to pay equity legislation.

Back in his limousine speeding to the airport for a nighttime flight to his next stop, Mr. Obama caught his breath, turned to an aide and said with a grin: “That was fun.”

“It don’t make no sense,” Obama said

That proves he is an intellectual/s

Obama bounded up a few steps to the stage

Every time I see him do that 'cool move' onto a stage, I'm reminded of the term we used in the 60's Marine Corps: Diddy-Bopping

“He has been shrugging off his jacket ...”

How can you tell? He never wears a jacket. If he did, he would be honoring the office, and we can’t have that.

This is what Boobamba meant when he uttered the chilling words:
"I don't think the Democrats will lose the Senate."

Prog-headed Obama is ruled by his visceral hatred for Republicans----he would rather eat Michelle's boiled, unsalted kale stems than have to face a Republican-controlled Congress.

ONE PAGE OUT OF THE DUMMYCRAT VOTE FRAUD HANDBOOK--In dead heat states, illegals are the margin of victory Obama needs to retain total control. Boobamba has done everything to suckup to illegals except fellate an illegal on the Capitol steps. Speaking of fellating illegals, has anyone see Michelle lately (snix)?

THOUSANDS OF OBAMA's DACA-TYPES ON VOTER ROLLS North Carolina election officials just discovered 145 names who are ineligible b/c they are illegal immigrants granted Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status.....

....the NC State Bd of Elections discovered the illegal voters Tuesday when the DMV ran a search for DACA licenses. The DACA recipients on voting rolls will be sent letters requesting documentation that they are citizens. NC DACA beneficiaries are able to obtain drivers licenses, but are not able to vote.

The Winston-Salem Journal notes that it is likely more ineligible people may still remain on the voting rolls. Nearly 10,000 names on the rolls are tagged by the DMV as "legally present"..... But that doesn’t mean that all 10,000 are ineligible to vote. These were not US citizens when they got a license. They may have been green-card holders, foreign workers or foreign students, for example.

Earlier, election officials did a sample cross-check of 1,600 of the 10,000 “legally present” names against a DHS database and found that 94% were eligible to vote.....that means if the ratio held for the whole 10,000, 600 people would be ineligible.

NC--DMV is now cross-checking names....early voting was set to start last Thursday.

=================================================

HEALTHCARE MY AUNT TILLY---Healthcare.gov is a sub rosa Dummycrat voter registration site. "Obamacare" is a huge voter fraud machine---registering unsuspecting enrollees who get plugged into Democrat voter rolls just by enrolling for "healthcare."

NEWS STORY--Local couple received pre-marked voter registration card from "Covered California" (Cali O/Care); an envelope from the state's Obamacare website contained a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party.

===========================================

Another Obamacare web site reported it "accidentally" registered 4000 latinos.

===================================================

FLACKING DEM TURNOUT ---In Democrat nabes and among their core constituency, armies of college students and union activists (carrying i-phones running DNC voter apps), go door to door multiple times in the next 2 weeks, which will give them a 5 or 10 point+, advantage in “turnout."

No matter the contrived agit-prop WRT "turned off or uninterested voters, Obama'a low numbers," Democrats will harvest massive numbers of mail-in ballots because the Dummy core no longer needs "motivation" to get to the polls, they just have to answer the doorbell.

The "leader of the free world"? Oh, please. The only depressing part about the upcoming election is that afterward we still have two years of this gushing North Korean crap to read in the Times. "After eight years of Dear Leader the entire world is better except for the things that Bush ruined, which was everything. Praise Dear Leader!" I do believe I'm going to hurl.

No, even after that.

"The incoming Republican administration has already bungled the People's nation. This band of charlatans and thieves have promised to do damage to Dear Leader's wonderful gains. The 'Enemies of the Peoples Will' have someways managed to steal out the foundations of all that is good, and they should be fed to hungry dogs."

Wonder why this trip isn’t on the WH schedule today??? ‘Cause they know I’m keeping track of his flights in our airplane, I bet. A relative asked me why I was doing that and I said, “I’ll be darned if I know.”

I remember when the NYT published a similar upbeat article about Pres. G. W. Bush in 2006.

Wait, no I don't.

I note the New York Times no longer allows comments on its articles.

Cowardly little faggots.

Since the only thing he seems to truly enjoy is campaigning 24/7/365, you know it is just killing him that the vast majority of Democrats are treating him like he has Ebola
