But as Obama spoke at the rally for Brown in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, near Washington, a “steady stream of people walked out of the auditorium,” Reuters noted, adding that a heckler also interrupted him.

IN THE TITLE IT SAYS, Crowd Does Something ‘Weird’. I see nothing "weird" about it at all.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, they were in an area where unemployment isn't skyrocketing, like it is here on the shore.
These are people being subjected to affordable health care, unbelievable property tax, inflated home prices and even with good paying FULL TIME JOBS, it's a massive struggle to stay afloat.
I did notice there isn't one white person in that crowd. Jim Ireton, Laura Mitchell, Josh Hastings, Rick Pollitt and Chuck Cook must have been really busy this weekend. Oh, that's right, Jimmy was at the bar playing corn hole.
I hope this attitude is reflected in the upcoming election. We need to send these people back to where ever they came from.
