I do think allot of the people there were students...which BO loves to get them all wired up and easy to do that. WHich is why they chose the University setting in the first place I think, knowing full well the students would attend.
He willl again play to the students across the US...they’ve been already brainwashed by the school system to swallow his lines. Easy prey for him. Plus they have the time to invest in his run. So it’s easy to recruit them.
Obama always stages his big appearances at a university when it’s feasible.
Despite what some people would like to believe, there was an almost festival atmosphere. People were laughing and joking before the ceremony. Then, during the speech, the crowd erupted in applause, then Gibbs said that there were no applause lines in the script.
Hogwash!
The T-shirts were a dead giveaway, though. The saying came from OFA, so it wasn’t an accident no matter who ordered the shirts.
The kids may have been fired up to see Obama, but I bet there will be much fewer of them who will vote for him. Many of them will have graduated by then, not to mention those who turned out for him in record numbers in 2008, have graduated, and don’t have jobs.
Don’t underestimate the indy vote, either.
I believe 2008 was an anomaly.
