Obama Loses Democratic Crowd During Speech — Again

For the second time in just a few days, President Obama saw some of his Democratic Party listeners walk away while he was in the middle of delivering a speech at the podium.

This time, the trouble was in Wisconsin, and before a partly progressive-minded crowd for gubernatorial hopeful Mary Burke, The Weekly Standard reported.

Mike Lowe, a political reporter, tweeted (@MikeLoweReports): “Some people — not a lot, but some — are leaving as the president is speaking.”

The exodus comes on the heels of a similar one that occurred in Maryland, at a Democratic Party campaign event on Oct. 19. Then, Mr. Obama was telling the crowd of the importance of voting — “You’ve got to vote,” he repeated, over the shouts of a heckler, the New York Post reported — when a steady stream of listeners began filing from the school gymnasium venue.

If King Obama wanted people to stay and hear him read another of his rambling, clichéd teleprompter speeches he should have brought a few cases of free Obama-Phones or MRE’s to hand out after the speech was finished.

Why don’t they tell us what the heckler was saying?

Perhaps promising to hand out forties of Colt 45 at the end would get people to stay for one reason or another?

“Some people — not a lot, but some — are leaving as the president is speaking.”

From news reports, there was a steady stream of people leaving (after they were able to take a selfie with Obama in it). On the order of dozens eventually left.
