We need rain here. Do we have to listen to him speak if he comes to town?

From the article:
When Obama arrived shortly after noon, he promised new hair styling appointments for women in the crowd whose coiffures were ruined by the rain.

While I'm sure this was his attempt at humor, I wonder how many took his comment seriously.

Does this mean that the ones who faint may also drown?

Not too many white folks turning out to see Obama’s scrawny ass, especially for Glen Allen.

Americans for Prosperity Virginia were able to protest the One’s visit. Per their facebook post, they were 15 feet away from the motorcade. Zero got a good eyeful of the real America.

Too bad it didn’t rain for 40 days and 40 nights... right over the top of all their little pin heads.

No one did. He can afford to make a comment like that because he was talking to his own astroturf bussed in ahead of time. The SS will clear out anyone who is not supposed to be there.

Here was Obama giving a speech during a thunderstorm back in 2010. Notice his supporters using their portable chairs as rudimentary lightning rods above their heads. I am all in favor of requiring a person to pass a simple IQ test before being granted the privilege to vote.
