Thanks for posting them.
We're going to Iowa City to see President Obama tomorrow (4/25) and expect to see a crowd similar to the one today.

... I know quite a few who were Obama voters in 08. There is not the same level of enthusiasm. Many are Ron Paul supporters. Just telling it like it is. Maybe the kids who are voting for the first time are different.

Muahahahahaha! (how do you write an evil laugh anyway?)




Can someone find links of any of those hysterical videos that the teabaggers claimed proved Obama was going to brainwash the kids when he spoke to them back in '09?

I loved that he injected that into his speech a few times today. Not as a particular religious gesture but rather as an affirmative that he and his audience are on the same page.

Brilliant. He needs to do it more.

the teaparty has pushed the alternative so far to the crazy right, whose positions are transparent, that this response is not surprising.

The radical (and well funded) right has now done themselves in for a second generation of college students. (Considering college student generations in 4-5 year increments.)

and the day after the election theft we'll come to DU and rant and rave, and the day after that go back to American Idol. We've become a very weak people.
