Barack Obama did something today that he has not been able to do very often during a health care debate: address the Youngs! Usually it is all about convincing old, voting retards that he will not kill them with black people weapons. The atmosphere at University of Maryland’s Comcast Center was so 2008! There was even a volley of “fired up, ready to go.” Remember when everyone used to love that?? Also: He referred to friendly, fat, and very unimportant Congressmen Dutch Ruppersberger as “Butch,” and all the kids started booing when he mentioned Max Baucus, ha ha. How ginchy! It’s the new college fad. [YouTube]
Does it make me an old that I have no memory of “fired up, ready to go”? I remember “yes, we can”, for what it’s worth.
There are legends that when you say “Max Baucus” three times in the mirror, Ted Kennedy flies out and rips your face off.
The University of My Asshole estimates the crowd at north of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
This looks like a video for that nice wresting lady.
He also referred to the students as “Twerps” instead of Terps and called Maryland “Fairyland,” but all in all, it was the most successful event of his week.
Suds McKenzie: “wrestling” … sorry I’m sober this afternoon.
RoscoePColtraine: I can corroborate your numbers with this aerial photo of the event.

Barry went all the way to College Park? Awesome!
That’s the bee’s knees and the cat’s meow! Twenty-four skidoo!
My alma mater, The school of choice for pledges from Jersey who didn’t want to stay local but couldn’t bear to cut the umbilical cord from their rich parents. It’s all good though, even complete douchebags get one vote.
AnnieGetYourFun: It was something Hitler used to chant at the Nurenburg rallies.
Did any of these kids shout out anything during a quiet part of the President’s speech?
Or were they behaving like adults?
What would Lord Baltimore say if he were alive today to see an uppity Negroid addressing his beloved Marylanders? “Help, get me out of this Marble Sarcophagus, I say! I have some Redskin Wenches to Inseminate! Kenyan birth certificate Mombasa death panels, Also! 23 skidoo.”
How come they didn’t get together for a counter 9/12 rally? We could kick off the long hot summer (in September) right now.
Oh..that’s right it football season again….CRABCAKES AND FOOTBALL THAT WHAT MARYLAND DOES
AnnieGetYourFun: It has something to do with relaxing, and not doing something or other.
He went down der to speek at Murlland? How about Bawlteemoore der boy?
Oye’ve got some ‘Ole Bay seasoning for Mister Pres.
And of course, some Natty Boh.
Max Baucus is a chicken-fucking jackass.
AnnieGetYourFun: I almost missed out on that too, seing as how I spent all day every day on the campaign. Tom Daschle came by one day and got us “fired up and ready to go”, before he so epically fell on his sword and that was the only time I’d heard the slogan the end.
This is totes like “The Triumph of the Will.”
I asked Mrs. Plainsight yesterday to go down with me to see Barry, and this is what she said;
“This looks like a lot of hassle. I’d rather spend some quality time with you instead.”
Big sigh. Thus do I miss witnessing history. Ah well, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.
Those filthy Acorn-loving Libruls booed Max Baucas? Retroactive justification for Joe Wilson’s yaolp.
He was back on my teevee two hours later giving away a Medal of Honor. Good thing he didn’t get the two speeches confused.
But did everyone wear guns?
AnnieGetYourFun: Jim89048: Okay, for real this time. He’s told this story at least three times that I’ve seen on video, and it’s just a little something to rouse the crowd when they’re sorta beat or neat motivation:

I should get crabs (the good kind) this weekend.
RoscoePColtraine: That is fucktillion in casual usage. Or 10 to the 35th in scientific notation.
omg! fatty rupertsburg is my congerman! yes he is fat.
“Dutch Ruppersberger”? Really? And with that name he’s not a Repiglican? Huh.
But then again, 10,000 Marylanders gathered for Spiro Agnew.
You can tell it was a Democratic crowd, because the Republicans eat their Youngs.
U of Maryland ♥ Obama. Suck ups. Cheer all you want. You won’t be any closer to a government job than before. Nyah!
don’t vote regularly v. don’t shit regularly. I’m still closer to the youngs on that scale. Thanks for reminding me of the silver lining, Wonkette!
MzNicky: He’s as close to a Blue Dog as you can get without actually marrying your cousin.
I don’t know - you can’t see their faces there - maybe they are all illegal aliens?
BobTheBuilder: Actually yes, some did heckle. I think it was Gallagher http://bit.ly/1XFFcS
DirtyHippie: Pic #3 is great!
I could see shades of ‘Don’t taze me bro’
Alas, being an African-Am cop the charges of reverse-racism from the crazies would start in 3…2…1
Yes, we *still* can and fuck ‘em if they get in the way!
The Decemberists?
problemwithcaring: Very nice. Official White House band?

ACCORDING TO MY CALCLASHUNS:

WE’RE LOOKIN AT NEERLY 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 . WE SERROUND THEMS
Watching Barry get cheered gives me the hardz.
Dammnit, you Terps, let the muthafucka’ speak, already. You know, this almost gives me the happy, too, until I realize that he’s there to sell yet another half-assed and defective ‘plan.’ It kind of hurts to see that they believe in the guy so much but he never seems to fully reciprocate that love with offering them good, solid policy. One of his problems has always been that he wants everyone to love him (that, and he’s probably afraid of the crazies), so what we end up with is useless rhetoric because it never transforms into anything real, or real enough to matter.
I just hope he realizes sometime before he gets out of office that some of us actually elected him to be America’s president, not necessarily to be America’s BFF. When he realizes that, he’ll be a helluva force for good. Right now, he’s just holding an office.
Totally unrelated, but I love the quirky Baltimore accent, especially whenever you guys have to say something with an “o” in it.
Those poor brainwashed kids obviously don’t have access to FOX “news” or Rush, or Glenn Beck, otherwise they’d be shouting: “You lied, nigger!” or just plain “booo.”
We should start a collection to make FOX “news” available on every campus so that the next generation can grow up even more hateful and ignorant than the last one.
Oh, and if you look VERY carefully at the video, there is a girl in the third row on the left with big boobs who is wearing a white wife beater shirt with no bra.
I think I’m in looove!
DirtyHippie: Gallagher/Taintz 2012! Was stopped in traffic today next to a ss + medicare + disability sucking oldster toddling up and down with his “NOBAMA SOCIALISM!!11!!” sign. We reacted much like this UofM crowd.
Did anyone call him “hon,” hon?
Snidely, AbstinenceOnly Ed: Skidoo inflation? What’s Bernanke say?
