President Obama strove to energize his supporters on Thursday, urging the party faithful in this heavily Democratic town in this most Democratic of states to show up at the polls next month.
With less than a month to go before the midterm elections in November, Mr. Obama, facing what most political observers predict will be significant losses of Democratic seats in Congress, was using every weapon in his arsenal to prod the people who helped propel him into the White House two years ago not to cede the partisan battlefield to the Republicans this year.
“Don’t make me look bad now,” Mr. Obama said. “I’m betting on you.”
Thursday’s rally, held at Bowie State University under beautiful clear skies, drew several thousand college students and local residents, many of them African Americas — core components of the Democratic Party base.
“I’m going to need you just as fired up as you were in 2008,” Mr. Obama told them.
When a heckler yelled “You’re a liar!” in response, people nearby spent the next few minutes shouting the heckler down, making it difficult for many in the audience to hear what the president, who was flanked on the dais by Maryland’s top elected Democrats, was saying.

“Don’t make me look bad now,” Mr. Obama said. “I’m betting on you.” Well that's one inspiring speech for you.
This guy wouldn't know Leadership if it walked up to him punched him in the face.
Just one popularity campaign after another. Me, me, me...

“Don’t make me look bad now,” Mr. Obama said. “I’m betting on you.” If there was ANY doubt that this asshat is ANYTHING but "all about me"; this certainly should dispell that myth....Republicans should shout this from the rooftops from now until November, that "we can't continue this ego-trip spending, money your grandkids haven't earned yet but is already spoken for, just for someone to buy votes and feel good about himself"

“Don’t make me look bad now,” Mr. Obama said.The Narcissist in Chief has made himself and 60,000,000 idiotic voters look bad by being what anyone that payed attention knew he would be: a self-absorbed, out of touch left-wing radical who is in WAY over his head.

He said it was imperative to harness that euphoria again. Wow "imperative" and "euphoria" just strange wording for me.

“Don’t make me look bad now,” Mr. Obama said. “I’m betting on you.” The gambler doesn't perceive that his fortunes have changed. God has spoken: Do. Not. Want.

And chances are, being in Bowie, in PG County, that it was a Black person yelling that. Interesting.

“Don’t make me look bad now,” Mr. Obama said. “I’m betting on you.” He made himself look bad without any help from his base ...
