Maryland Dems scramble in effort to spin walkout. 



We’ve reported several times on Democratic candidates’ unwillingness
<http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/10/2014-dem-nightmare-come-true-obama-put
s-his-policies-on-the-ballot/>  to be associated
<http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/09/democrats-obama-who-name-sounds-only-v
aguely-familiar/>  with Obama
<http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/10/democrats-have-a-woman-problem-due-to-
this-guy/> ’s failed Administration, but things just got a little bit more
embarrassing for the President and his supporters. 

At yesterday
<http://www.politico.com/story/2014/10/barack-obama-maryland-2014-elections-
112021.html#ixzz3GdL81Tqj> ’s GOTV rally for Maryland gubernatorial
candidate Anthony Brown, Democrat supporters who had waited hours for the
chance to see the President speak reportedly walked out once Obama began his
remarks. 

Reuters reports:

President Barack Obama made a rare appearance on the campaign trail on
Sunday with a rally to support the Democratic candidate for governor in
Maryland, but early departures of crowd members while he spoke underscored
his continuing unpopularity.
…
“You’ve got to vote,” Obama repeated over and over at a rally for Brown in
Upper Marlboro, Maryland, near Washington.

Democrats have a history of not turning up to vote in midterm elections.

“There are no excuses. The future is up to us,” Obama said.

A steady stream of people walked out of the auditorium while he spoke,
however, and a heckler interrupted his remarks. 

Reuters
<http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/19/us-usa-politics-obama-idUSKCN0I80
V320141019>  and Politico
<http://www.politico.com/story/2014/10/barack-obama-maryland-2014-elections-
112021.html#ixzz3GdL81Tqj>  both filed stories about the walkout, and soon
after those reports hit Twitter, Maryland Democrats furiously attempted to
spin the stories in their favor.

Jeff Quinton over at The Quinton Report
<http://www.quintonreport.com/2014/10/19/did-a-stream-of-people-really-leave
-obama-brown-event-early/>  did a great job curating the panicked tweets of
Maryland Democratic Party representative Yvette Lewis. (I’ve republished a
few here, but you really should click through
<http://www.quintonreport.com/2014/10/19/did-a-stream-of-people-really-leave
-obama-brown-event-early/>  for the full meltdown.)

@politico <https://twitter.com/politico>  this report is a lie. I was there
and up top so I could see. NOBODY left. Secret Service kept us till POTUS
left.

@politico <https://twitter.com/politico>  just so you know the people that
left were in overflow room and POTUS spoke to the FIRST. Further proof of
your crappy reporting

@ErinatTheSun <https://twitter.com/ErinatTheSun>  @LewisYv
<https://twitter.com/LewisYv>  the people who were leaving were in the main
room, not the overflow, so this doens't make sense

When I was in high school, I waited for hours to see President George W.
Bush speak while he was on the campaign trail in Illinois. It was hot, my
feet hurt, and there was no food or drink allowed in the rally room; but I
was there to see the President make a speech, so there I stayed until the
entire event was over. 

There’s only one reason someone would leave a Presidential rally after
snapping a picture on their phone—if they had no interest in what the
President had to say. 

Rest in Peace, hope and change. We hardly knew thee.
