Barack Obama puts Harry Reid in the spotlight
Politico ^ | October 22,2010 | CAROL E. LEE & MOLLY BALL

The stakes were in full display Friday night at an outdoor rally in Las Vegas, when Obama — whose name has been chanted over the past three days by crowds at events from Seattle to Los Angeles — made a rare move and led the crowd in a chant of “Har-ry!”

“I appreciate everybody saying Obama,” the president said as thousands of supporters screamed “O-bam-a!”

“But I want everybody to say Harry,” Obama yelled, leading them on moments after he stood on the stage with Reid, a former boxer, holding his hand in the air as though he had won a fight.

Reid is locked in a tight race against Republican Sharron Angle, a tea party favorite who has continued to be a force despite several high-profile campaign missteps. Obama made his fourth trip to Nevada Friday for a week-before-the-election rally and fundraiser to help Reid squeak out a victory despite low popularity in his home state and an adverse political climate.

I had no idea people were still chanting his name!

Nobody did that for any president I can think of, except perhaps LBJ and Ho Chi Minh.

That should be worth a 2-3 point bump for Sharron. You go, Obozo!

When conservative republicans are doing well, the crowds chant, “USA, USA, USA!”. When a liberal democrat is doing well, the crowds chant the liberal democrat’s name. I wonder why?

"Neither Harry and I were born with a silver spoon in our mouths."

The 'most brilliant man in the world' can't even speak proper English without a teleprompter. I guess he must have been stoned during the grammar classes.

Is there any question anymore as to whether this POS sees the U.S. as a circus?

Zero tolerance for marxists in US government.

Investigate and arrest members of the “Progressive Congressional Caucus”, send those red sons of bitches back underground.

Via Executive Order, declare all States “right to work states”, no more forced compulsory union dues in order to work.

Defund the marxist trade and government worker unions.

No one will pay union dues voluntarily.

Smash the left!

Do you have something against the people of Searchlight, Nevada?

They should both retire to Chicago. Or Detroit.
