Obama makes rare campaign trail appearance, people leave early

[John Adams]

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.

With approval levels hovering around record lows, Obama has spent most of his campaign-related efforts this year raising money for struggling Democrats, who risk losing control of the U.S. Senate in the Nov. 4 midterm election.

Most candidates from his party have been wary of appearing with him during their election races because of his sagging popularity.

Not so Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown of Maryland, who is running for governor, and Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois, who is running for re-election. Obama plans to appear at an event for Quinn later in the evening.

"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.

"There are no excuses. The future is up to us," Obama said.
 
The Obama future-
-Healthcare out of control
-IRS gestapo tactics
-Scandal after scandal after scandal
-Incompetence at all levels of the Gov
-Terrorism once again out of control
-Racism and more racism
-Allies who no longer trust or support us.
-A brand new cold war with "nuclear consequences" if one believes Putin (no reason to doubt a KGB bad boy)
-Iran 8 years closer to a nuclear weapon
-Release of tens of thousands illegals, many KNOWN members of BRUTAL Mexican gangs.
 
Looks like the "Vote for me because I love Obama" bumper stickers are worthless at this point.

"Rare" appearance on the campaign trail?

That's really the only thing the man has done consistently in the last 10 years...except play golf.
