Oct 2014

"You deserve leaders that don't root for failure, don't try to re-fight the old battles, don't try to peddle fear," the president told about 8,000 people — mainly African-Americans — packed into a high school gymnasium in Upper Marlboro. "If you want good policies to continue in Maryland, you've got to vote for it. "

Crowd of Democrats walk out while President Obama speaks [View all] 3rdwaydem Oct 2014 OP

Not this again Beaverhausen Oct 2014 #1

Already debunked, as of yesterday. madamesilverspurs Oct 2014 #2

Were you there? former9thward Oct 2014 #11

From the article YOU link to: KittyWampus Oct 2014 #13

You said the OP was debunked. former9thward Oct 2014 #15

The implication is that people unhappy w/Obama were leaving. NOT THE CASE. KittyWampus Oct 2014 #18

I am happy you can read their minds. former9thward Oct 2014 #19

But you can read articles and accounts that point to a large, enthusiastic crowd. KittyWampus Oct 2014 #22

I'm sure it was large and enthusiastic. former9thward Oct 2014 #31

Same reason you leave the game early, beat the crowd trying to get out of the parking lot snooper2 Oct 2014 #35

You do that AgingAmerican Oct 2014 #39

Do you leave if the heat is unbearable to the point people get carried out on stretchers? KittyWampus Oct 2014 #41

Or your team is kicking ass and there is no chance they would lose- snooper2 Oct 2014 #42

Don't most places stop selling beer in the third quarter? n/t bobclark86 Oct 2014 #67

That poster attacks Dems, attacks Chicago, defends Reagan or sides with Israel. ieoeja Oct 2014 #75

Attacks Chicago? former9thward Oct 2014 #86

I generally support Israel as well. As I said, you are "old school Liberal" on that one topic. ieoeja Oct 2014 #109

I am sure you will link to where I have ever said "Leave Reagan alone!" former9thward Oct 2014 #110

Too easy ieoeja Oct 2014 #111

Everyone of those posts I inserted actual facts into the discussion former9thward Oct 2014 #118

Republicans requested a recount which Illinois granted. But they had to pay for it. ieoeja Oct 2014 #123

Look at the footnote and read the article. former9thward Oct 2014 #131

Yes, Israel does kick ass so to speak 3rdwaydem Oct 2014 #136

his bias is intransigent and he is unwilling to perceive views outside that same bias. LanternWaste Oct 2014 #120

He just edited an excerpt to defend Nixon to prove that he does not defend Republicans. ieoeja Oct 2014 #124

To get a jump on traffic, perhaps? Tarheel_Dem Oct 2014 #71

If you came to see the President would you leave early former9thward Oct 2014 #89

Don't know why you find it strange that "Democrats" support/defend the "Democrat" on a..... Tarheel_Dem Oct 2014 #92

I believe in facts. former9thward Oct 2014 #99

Not buying it. I once saw George W. Bush speak, at a military base-- TwilightGardener Oct 2014 #12

actually, at big events some people often stream out early to get to their cars and away KittyWampus Oct 2014 #16

It may have been that, or it may have been a pre-planned protest or TwilightGardener Oct 2014 #23

It was probably the heat>>>> KittyWampus Oct 2014 #27
