In NJ, Obama calls 'Cousin Pookie' key

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.

Cousin Pooky? That’s the code word for A.C.O.R.N. isn’t it?

I think it’s something this crowd talks about all the time.
Van Jones said, “you cannot green the ghetto in 2009 without giving Pookie a job”

Pookie is unemployed. Pookie is on welfare. Pookie is so listless he has to be dragged out to vote. Pookie don’t care, he just wants his check.

No, but I got 2 calls today, reminding me to vote for Christie...

The first from my congressman, Rodney Frelinghuysen & the other from Steve Lonegan (former gubnatorial candidate & senior policy director, Americans For Prosperity).

BACKLASH TO Conservative republicans winning elections in states will lead to monitary and regulatory retaliation by Washington. They will make every attempt to pass laws to strangle state economies to punish WE THE PEOPLE. The question is .... are we gonna sit down and take it?

[Pookie, it’s time to go vote,’ “ POTUS said. “You’ve all got a cousin Pookie, you know who I’m talking about.”

One definition in the urban dictionary:

Pookie:
A straight junky crackhead
Did you see that pookie smoking crack in the alley?

Michelle Obama has referred to her husband as a “lazy fool”. So is Barack his own Cousin Pookie?

I was flipping through the channels during the game tonight and FNC was covering his rally with Corzine. He was pathetic. Putting on his best black accent in front of an ACORN audience in Camden. Using his Bill Cosby schtick and talking about cleaning up the mess that was left for him. Corzine is a desperate, pathetic little man.

Steve Lonegan: A time for choosing (in the NJ Gubernatorial election)

Lonegan is urging all NJ citizens to vote for Christie to send a message to blue dog Democrats.
