Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Folks walk out on Obama speech in Maryland of all places

I wish there was some better reporting on this. Maybe an interview with some of the people who were walking out.

President Obama spoke at a Maryland Democratic rally on Sunday, and as he spoke, many members of the crowd got up and left. The refusal of some crowd members to listen to what President Obama had to say �underscores his continuing unpopularity,� according to a Reuters report.

Democratic candidates have largely appeared on stage while campaigning without President Obama, but Maryland Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown chose to invite the president to share the podium. During the campaign event in Maryland, a heckler interrupted President Obama and a �steady stream� of attendees simply got up and left the Upper Marlboro auditorium.

�There are no excuses. The future is up to us,� President Obama said at the beginning of his speech. Obama and Brown were reportedly classmates at Harvard. Recent polls shows Antony Brown ahead of his Republican opponent, Larry Hogan, by 11 points. The president also appeared at a campaign event for Illinois Governor Pat Quinn on Sunday as well. Quinn was also leading in the polls, but only by a margin of 1.8 percent.

According to CBS News, there were extremely long lines for the Maryland Democrat rally, but not all who wished to attend were able to get inside.

�I think we can do it, but we brought in a little bit of reinforcement,� Anthony Brown told the crowd of about 8,000 people, before introducing President Obama.

The CBS News report about the event and President Obama�s appearance does not include any details about the massive crowd departure, but the incident has been widely reported elsewhere.

�Anthony Brown has devoted his life to fighting for you, you now need to fight for him. You need to knock on doors, make some phone calls, talk to your friends, talk to your neighbors,� President Obama said after reaching the microphone.

Time magazine political reporter Zeke Miller tweeted that the president told folks at the Maryland campaign event to �include cousin Pookie sitting at home on the couch� in their voting outreach efforts.

During the Illinois campaign stop, the president told potential voters that while Republicans �mean well,� they �just have bad ideas.� While traveling and spending the night in Chicago for the Pat Quinn event, Obama also said, �The power to move our society, our government, it really is in your hands. You�re the reason that I had the audacity to actually run for president of the United States.�

Some people are not happy with a Yahoo News story on a large portion of the crowd walking out on President Obama at a Maryland campaign speech Sunday � and they�re reporting it as spam.
The walkout story is embarrassing to the president and casts a negative light on Democrats� prospects on the eve of the November election. As political passions heat up, some people are letting their emotions get the better of them and reporting links to Facebook as spam.

I don't understand the mentality. They apparently don't like his policies, but they'll still support the people and the party that endorse the policy. The complete inability to THINK for themselves in such vast numbers defies belief.

Probably the only state in the union a lazy criminal could vote present over and over and not get called on it.

Hurrying out to catch the 'Skins game?

I was wondering if there was maybe a pig roast and oyster scald down in Prince Frederick they were heading to.

Lets hope that trend continues for awhile.

Very nice

this is standard treatment of 2nd termers. look how the repub's dropped gdub towards the end. clinton same thing. very few presidents are popular at the end of their 2nd term.

you hit the nail on the head, the inability to rationally think for themselves fully defines democrats.....

I live in Prince Frederick!!! No Pig and oysters....St Marys County Oyster Festival was last Saturday, though...Coulda had somethin to do with it..

Let me get this straight...

These people vote for him for two terms.

They show up to a rally half way through his second term.

And then, all of a sudden, they have an epiphany that they voted for the worst president in the history of the United States?

I guess better late than never.

I totally agree!

I heard there was a special at the Waffle House that was starting in a hour or so. It could all be taken out of context too. Take a picture of folks leaving after his speech and make up the news. You know, like democrats do.

Does everyone remember those tons of Crisco that were stolen a few days ago? They were getting set up for a huge chicken fry

What is sad though is I have no doubt if Obammy were to run again, he would get elected again. Still to many clueless people and not enough of us to turn the tide.

Sad to say, but you are probably right!

They don't think he has done enoygh from them...
They could care less for the country

Snake

Could anyone EVER do 'enough' for them?
