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.

especially since she'll be voting in Nov....
“24 is the new 16, apparently.”
Isn’t that the truth. I just turned 40. By 24, my wife and I had married and bought a house.
She's been indocrinated...
” Airheads want to know. Is it boxers, or briefs, or nothing at all. Give us a little hint.”
Her teachers probably agree with her...

When al bore lost there was a picture of some gal holding a sign crying on the sidewalk. I think we may have a repeat.
Some of these people need serious professional help.
I’d love to hear her definition of “economic fairness”
UG. Hurl. You left out the "gag me with a turd - projectile vomiting" alert
Ignorance should not be a prerequisite to vote. This is the type of voter democrats love to have because they vote base on emotion not on substance. That definitely sums up hussein, emotion and no substance. It is unfortunate his mother and her mother and father were punished with his birth....
It must be her...
It’s probably the exact same as communism.
You could click the link and ask her, though.
(Heh-heh!)
IOW she, whoever she is, is a socialist. But then so is Obama.
These people are all over my area of PA.
and she will...
sorry...:)
From the link....
Above the columns of Old Main are words from the July 2, 1862 Act of Congress signed by Abraham Lincoln: "To promote liberal and practical education in the several pursuits and professions of life." This is followed by words from the April 1, 1863 Act of the State Legislature: "And the Faith of the state is hereby pledged to carry the same into effect."
Their bold, BTW. And boy, has the definition of the word liberal morphed.
It’s sad, really, but so typical for the prototype democrat voter. They think of themselves as children. They’re so willing for a parent-government to take care of them. They are too immature to realize they are personally responsible for how their lives run and what they make of themselves. Chalk it up to the democrat candidates who realize the electorate is wanting a mom or a dad instead of a mature, responsible president.
