Obama Scrounges for Votes from Morning to Midnight

Barack Obama ended his day late last night at an Indiana auto parts factory, where he greeted voters leaving a shift at midnight. “I need everybody to vote tomorrow, take your friends, take your family; go out there and vote. This is going to be a close race - every single vote is really going to count,” Obama said to a gaggle of UAW members.

After 19 hours, a couple of states, and multiple events, Barack Obama’s press corps was tired - but not the candidate himself, who leisurely greeted workers for more than 40 minutes.

Watch his interaction with haggard reporters a little after midnight.

Pushing through today’s primaries, Barack Obama left his hotel bright and early again this morning, heading to a restaurant to greet the breakfast crowd before dropping by an Indianapolis polling precinct. He even managed to squeeze two games of basketball in with friends and staffers in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, one photographer calculated that some of Obama’s reporters have gotten six hours of sleep over the last three days. Seven hours if you count a nap on the plane.

Is it just exit polling you’re hearing about in NC?

 
Comment by Missouri

Go Hillary! God Bless the USA!

 
Comment by breanna

was just listening to talk radio on way home from work and heard about exit numbers. seems that the people in nc who are voting for obama do not think that the economy is as big an issue as indiana thinks it is. had several people giving opinion about that and one guy says that almost every black voter in nc who votes for obama ( and so far hes getting 91%) is NOT concerned about the economy because, and get this… because they are all on welfare and the governement is taking care of them so why should they consider the economy an issue? i got to thinking that if this is true then it dwindles down the reasons why an AA would vote for obama. im trying really hard not to believe that AA’s are only voting for him becasue he is black. that wouldnt look good. it would make them look racist.

OMG Brenda!!! Are you just realizing that now?

 
Comment by breanna

just heard that obama needs to get the white male vote and doesnt look like hes able to do that. opinionators are saying that he will need this group big time in the general election and that this is another argumant that hillary can make to the super d’s.

 
Comment by Patty, NJ

Obama said that what Ayers did 40 yrs ago has nothing to do with him because he was 8 yrs old, Well we were not even alive 200 yrs ago when slavery started and we still have to deal with this sh*t!!

 
Comment by John

Voting for obama will spells DISASTER for this country.
Here is just some examples why:
1. Obama will not enforce border patrol.
2. Obama will gives driving licence to ALL illegal immigrants.
3. Obama will sign a bill to give FULL constitution rights to suspected terrorists or enemy combatants currently locked up in Gitmo.
4. Obama will appoint extremely Liberal judges that represents the values and self-interest of the very very far left people or groups like George Soros, Rezko, Wright, Farrakhan, Ayers, ACLU, Moveon.org, Codepink, Black Panther..etc.
5. Obama will veto any bills that fights illegal immigration. An obama administration will encourage MORE illegals flooding into this country and create more social problems. More social problems means increasing government spending on law enforcement and social welfare, and more crime and more citizens dissent.
6. Obama is just a VERY VERY INEXPERIENCE version of John Kerry or Ted Kennedy.
7. Obama’s wife Michelle obama is just another “Oprah Winfrey” except that she Oprah is much much richer and prettier than her.

OBAMA = DISASTER.

INDIANA & NORTH CAROLINA -
BE A TRUE AND FULL BLOODED AMERICAN TODAY.
EXERCISE YOUR GOOD JUDGEMENT TO REJECT OBAMA AND VOTE HILLARY !!

 
Comment by John

1. How can Obama be the person to speak about real CHANGE, if he cannot even change how his pastor and that church congregation feels about this country for the past 20 years??????

2. How can Obama be the person of CHANGE when he has undisputedly taken money, more than $2.22 million, from big oil companies’ executives and directors???

3. How can obama be the person of real CHANGE when he has taken more than $200,000 from Tony Rezko, the lowlife corrupt businessman who also has ties to terrorism funding??

4. What CHANGE has he delivered on records so far that is even worthy of a mention??????
Just because he says he represents real change does NOT make it so. Anybody can say anything, especially in this country which practice freedom of speech. Past records DOES MATTERS!

JUST LOOK AT OBAMA RECORDS FOR HEAVEN SAKE!!!

 
Comment by breanna

patty,
guess i was just hoping that black folks wouldnt be so obvious in their continued disdain for the white people. sad part is that even if every black person (registered voter) votef ro obama in the general (lets imagine) it is surely not enough ofr him to win. it will, however, piss them off and then they will have to blame someone. im thinking that it is they themselves that need to really consider the harm that they are causing their candidate. oh well.

 
Comment by breanna

i will justcome right out and say it. i really do think that hillary stands a chance with the super d’s. she has some very good arguments and this is without a solution to florida and michigan. i am afraid, however, that she will not get the chance to make her points because the super d’s and the dnc are so afraid of the black folks and the riots that may ensue and so they may give it to obama, even knowing that he an not possibly beat mccain. if i offend anyone, sorry.

 
Comment by Patty, NJ

I know what you mean. Well Obama has a lot of white people too voting for him. If they claim that obama lost because of racism…then with all the whites that voted Obama will prove them wrong!!

 
Comment by Democrats of Doom

Has anyone seen my clown Oboonga?

Please don’t mistake him for Obama.

My clown Oboonga is much funnier than Obama,

but I lost him on the way over here from the other topic.

Please tell me if you see him floating around.

He looks goofy,………like a clown.

 
Comment by Patty, NJ

Oh, sorry breanna…I called you brenda!

 
Comment by breanna

i would hope that the dnc would WANT the white house so much that they would care what certain groups of pissed off people think, but we live in a world that is politically coirrect now. at what point though do we stop handing over power just to look good to the rest of the world? i have never cared what people think cause if its right its right! get over it peeps.

What is the reason not one person has reminded america, that it was Mr. Clinton that put America into this economic spin that we are in. Nafta did exactly what Mr. Clinton said, this will leavel the worlds playing field. It’s a shame that we the voters have not remembered that tragity that NAFTA has really caused, just a note to say WAKE UP………………… Thank You

Obama wins NC. Yes. The tables have turned.

 
Comment by Marc

Hillary said if she looses NC, then she might drop out. Please do it Hillary.

 
Comment by Marc

36% of the white votes in NC. That is big for NC.

 
Comment by Marc

They said he won NC by double digits. Stick a fork in her, she is done!

 
Comment by Marc

Whoever is pretending to be me, you can do whatever you want. I am happy right now. We are winning.

 
Comment by Marc

Hey, where are the Hillary supporters at. Talk to me.

 
Comment by Marc

Hillary lovers, where are you?

 
Comment by breanna

marc,
hillary didnt say that shewould drop out. shes in it til the end. us hillary supporters know her better than you think. in nc 81% said that race is not a factor in how they vote and yet 91% of black folks voted for obama. go figure.

 
Comment by Marc

I need to debate. Obama wins 36% of the white votes in NC. What a surprise.

 
Comment by Obama The Great Liar

ACTUALLY HILLARY WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOSE NC BY 20 POINTS AND IF IT BREAKS 49 50 THAT MEANS OBAMA CAN’T CLOSE THE DEAL

 
Comment by hugh

Hillary was also calling factory workers at 3 am looking for Bill.

 
Comment by Marc

Wait, Bill Clinton campaigned in nothing but white areas. No black areas, just white areas. They tried and 36% went for Obama.

 
Comment by Marc

She said if Obama wins by double digits in NC, then she would think about droping out. She said it would be impossible to win the delegates.

hey marc like i said before white folks go to school out here we dont fall for hillawitchs trickery.

 
Comment by Marc

Oh my god he is leading NC by a big double digit. Hillary, I hope she speaks for Obama at the convention.

 
Comment by breanna

not really. these are young college kids who want to “change the world” but really have no clue what that means. OR it could be that those white votes are from people who feel white guilt. OR maybe that 36% really do feel that obama can fix the country Or maybe they are all men who dont like women OR ……

 
Comment by Independent

Well, it looks like my projection early today was off by 1%. I was projecting that the Black “racist” vote would support the Barak Husssein Obama, Rev. Wright Team by 92% … voting now shows they are voting at 91%. Once again the Black “racist” vote has supported Barak Husssein Obama at around +90% … about the same as in all previous elections. It will be interesting to see if the remainder of the voters finally begin to realize that Hillary Clinton is by far a more capable candidate than Obama.

One can only wonder how the followers of Rev. Wright’s Black Liberation Theology will be voting today … since they all hate America, it is difficult understanding how they rationalize participating in an American concept called voting.

 
Comment by Mr. J

North Carolina what a discusting result. You let your country down. Shame on you. You knew the black racist would not vote for the most qualified. It was up to you to offset their vote. This just proves they are more concerned about having unqualified black nomonee than winning in the general election. Mr Obama doesn’t have a chance in the general election. You showed you could be bought and paid for with dirty money.

 
Comment by BURNTCRACKER

HEY… Marc… Thats OK we will hand you Baracks A$$ in November… So debate that…. If not Hillary then John…..But not your boy…..

 
Comment by Ms TN

It shows that black folks will vote for a black man no matter what they say or don’t say. I am black and I haven’t heard anything from Obama that remotely looks like a plan to change the world. Nice guy, but not ready. However, the black vote won’t get him elected and Democrats lose again.

 
Comment by Marc

Burntcracker, you can tell what you are. Go get a life.

And in PA Ms Tn, whites said they voted for Hillary cause of race. We can go back and forth.

Comment by Independent

NBPP: You really need to observe these young college students … most are really so gullible, especially these social science and political science majors. I found them quite amusing to observe while going to college in the early 60s. Many of them are away from their moms and daddys for the first time, all of these left wing philosophies their left wing professors (guys like Ayers in the Univ. of Chicago) feed them sound so perfect and the perfect solution to all of the world’s problems, and many psychologically are looking for a cause that they can identify with and where they can become a part of a group (this need to be a part of a group and a cause is the biggest psychological draw for them). Watch the expressions on their faces when they are standing behind Obama and he is speaking … not a lot of independent thinkers in that group. I had a brother-in-law that was chairman of the philosophy department in a large mid-west university … let me tell you, it was beautiful to watch him in action and the way he sucked in these young minds.

My point is, and it is related to a part of your comment, this is exactly what Barak Husssein Obama is doing … “a New Direction”, “Yes We Can”, “Change”, and on and on. Sounds good doesn’t it … want to join the cause don’t you … it is amazing how someone can package BS and sell it to these young students. Nice work Barak … one thing I can’t deny, you are good at it.

 
Comment by breanna

poll says that 70% of nc voters find obama to be honest. well that is 70% of the nc voters that consider honesty more important than being anti american, anti jew and anti white. last i checked, honesty doesnt put ffod on the table, lower gas prices, get me a job, make me proud of being an american, make us a leader agin in the free world etc…….. some people, well at least 70%, just dont get it. ALL politicians lie including obama

since she got whooped there..is the game changer that she might

bow out…nah.. I doubt it she will not go

until you see her straight legs sticking out from the house that fell on her.

The reason Hillary might win INdiana is because of Rush Limbaugh persuading Republicans to cross over and cause chaos in the Dem party.

if the only votes that obama continues to gets are those of the blacks and the youth, then doesnt that mean that hillary gets the votes of everyone else? you know those people that are a true TOTAL representation of america? just wondering cause i DO NOT see obama winning the general with just the yout and the black vote. latinos wont vote for him, asians wont, american indians wont, the elderly wont, blue collar wont, white men wont, some independents wont etc. point being that if hillary gets the votes of all these other groups of people then it stands to reason that she has a better chance at winning the presidency. obama just doesnt. sorry. hillary or mccain

 
Comment by Marc

Funny, in Indiana, blacks are not voting. They don’t know why, but the blacks are not coming out to vote.

 
Comment by breanna

marc, indiana only has an 8% black population and they all live in Gary.

 
Comment by Marc

And I don’t think it is fair that they will hold the polls open to see if blacks will vote. Now I have to agree with that. If they don’t show up, they should not hold the polls open. They are too late.

 
Comment by Marc

I agree Breanna. Like I said, if they don’t show up, they should not hold the polls open for them. I’m an Obama fan, but don’t agree with that. That shows that they are giving blacks there some type of benefits. That is not right. And i’m black.

Comment by breanna

i certainly appreciate that the dnc has faith that the party will come together in novemeber. problem, wrong answer. people dont care about the party, they care about the candidate and this is why hillary peeps will vote mccain, or not at all, and obama supporters will votemccain or not at all. this is why mccain will become the president if hillary doesnt get the nomination. let us not forget that hillary would have already won the nomination if not for florida and michigan and recall that this problem HAS to resolved before anyone is deemed the winner.

 
Comment by Marc

Hey racist cracker, don’t you have a neo-nazi meeting to go too?

 
Comment by Marc

breanna, remember, Hillary agreed to not count the vote when she thought she was going to win it all. When Obama started to win, now she want those vote to count. All of them agreed to not accept the count in FL and MI. Let’s be fair breanna.

i agree that it was not a strategic move but the dnc can NOT go to the convention with just 48 states. if they do hillary will successfully sue because these voter’s constitutional rights are being violated by the federal government. its a sure win and that why on 5/31 the dnc is getting together to decide what to do.

Hillary can’t sue. No way she could win. The Supreme court won’t even let that slide. She agreed to it and thats that.

Breanna,

You don’t understand the constitution and the primary system. A primary is not an election. The winner does not attain any elected office. It only gives them the right to run as a candidate of a particular party. There rights have not been violated as it is not an election.

saw this cartoon where obama was standing and light was coming from around his head (like he was holy or something) and there were black folks on the ground grasping at his sleeves and pants legs and crying that they didnt care about his message and that they would vote for him because he, and only he, could finally lift them up off the ground to stand equal with the rest of the world. so what exactly will obama do for the black folks if and when he becomes president? what will the congress and the senate allow him to do for the black folks? will white folks be satisfied when they becomne second class citizens like the blacks have been for hundreds of years? just wondering.
